This Lady Knits

I finally finished Clue5 on the MS3 shawl, the last clue (7) came out yesterday so Now I’m 2 clues behind, but there are no more coming out so at least I can’t fall further behind without ripping *knock on wood*

And there’s the twist, the pattern is asymmetrical.  The theme is Swan Lake and the one end of the stole is a wing.  I love the idea, though there are many who hate it, I’m not one of them.  The only place I can’t stand asymmetry is in sweaters.

Since I’ve been asked if there were beads, while I had it outside I decided to take a close up.  The beads don’t show up very well in the picture, but in person in the sun they are a sparkly lot.  I’m using dark beads, so they kind of hide in the black.  They are the kind that if you look at them from one angle they look purple, but change the angle and they look blue.

In other news, I finished Sahara….then I tried it on, and well it was a tad on the short side.  I honestly have no desire to share my fat belly with the world, and no intention of getting a belly button piercing just to make the top look cute.  so….rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiipppppppppppppppppp, out came the bottom hem (it’s a top down knit) and I’m adding a few inches to it.
