It’s done! It. is. Done. The last stitches have been stitched. The Mystery Stole II is finished. All that remains is finishing work - weaving in ends and washing/blocking it, and my mother can at last lay claim to this gorgeous, soft, squishy, heavenly piece of art. What she’ll do with it, neither of us can say.

She’s had a look at it, nearly finished, and she does like it, but being as it’s 100% wool, and lacey, she won’t be wearing it often. Dogs who love to jump on people could create a nightmare. And having to hand wash and block it every time strikes terror in her heart. But… it was worth the time, for sure. Worth the accomplishment, even if she only wears it once. :)

I loved knitting it, even when I hated knitting it. I’m happy. I’m even more happy it’s done with. Now I can move onto something with bulkier yarn, bigger needles, and a much smaller knitting-time-frame.

Pictures coming soon…
