So, time to join something else - like the Mystery Stole 3. I joined within 12 hours of the site being up and I was number 568 or something. I've done a few of the mystery knits so far, enjoyed all of them and subsequently didn't have to buy the patterns! The first two were Leda's Dream (which I didn't actually knit, it was before I started lace knitting) and Sherezade (the one I accidentally
dyed dayglo orange, now happily residing with Donni). This one has beads.

As usual, I'll be all take and no give on this knitalong, I'm way too much of a grumpy cynical sourpuss to bear the chat on the site - the first pattern hint is released on the 29th June (that's more than two weeks away people) and already there are literally hundreds of meaningless posts about yarn choice, yarn colours, crochet hook size possibilities, bead colours - for heaven's sake we haven't even seen the first part of the pattern yet!



I've been asked by Jae to knit a coloured sample of this amazing shawl - at first she mentioned sea silk - I nearly died - but we've settled on laines du nord silk in a deep teal. Ooh I can't wait to get this started. (I hope she doesn't mind I borrowed her image.)

But right now, as soon as I hit publish, I'm off to scour the new knitty!
