MS3, mystery revealed

Yes, I know it’s been revealed all over the internets, but here’s my MS3, knittend and blocked and in all it’s finished glory. The theme, if you don’t already know is Swan Lake and the stole is assymetrical, with one side being a wing, representing the wing of a swan.

Pattern: Mystery Stole 3, Pink Lemon Twist will be making this pattern available for sale, but I’m not sure when it will be available.

Yarn: Zephyr - Ebony. I started with a 4 oz ball and have quite a bit left over, I’ll have to find the scale if you want to know the exact weight of what’s left, but I have read quite a few people have the better part of the 2nd 2oz ball left over when they had 2 2oz balls.

Needles: Options #4

Thoughts: I like the ide of asymmetry, but only in stoles, scarves, shawls, I personally don’t like asymmetrically sweaters. While there were many people that were turned off by the asymmetrical nature of this knit, I completely enjoyed it. I also did enjoy the nature of the clues revealing themselves piece by piece, though at times I did have a tendency to get impatient, but in getting the clues week by week, it left me enough time to knit on other things and still get this project done in a timely mannter. I will, (ok so I have already signed up for another one) do this again, it was a very enjoyable experience. While I’m not sure I like how the stole looks when it’s hanging down, DH couldn’t get a good pic of it, I do like how the wing drapes accross. This is for a person who is much smaller than me, so it’ll fit her with no problem. Check one off the list for Christmas.

    It really looks great. I also liked the idea of getting the clues week to week so I didn’t feel overwhelmed. Too bad I went on vacation and stopped working on it.
