I finally got Mr. SpiderKate to help me out with some photos this evening. My Rose Lace Stole has been finished for at least two weeks, but it might even have finished it three weeks ago. I'm really happy with how it turned out. The geometric lace was easy to knit and the rose lace border wasn't difficult either. In fact, it seemed like the lace ends really flew off the needles! I guess knitting 52 rows of lace (which is even less since half of that is the WS purl row) is nothing compared to knitting 124 rows of the geometric lace. And yes, that is 124 rows per side.
Not sure if I've written this here, but I will say it again. I've gotten a lot of compliments on it and even inspired two of my knitter friends to knit one! The malabrigo lace was the perfect choice for this stole since the color has some depth - it is not just straight yellow/golden - but it has hues of yellow/gold. Very very pretty. This may sound crazy to say, but I think it adds a touch of elegance to the piece - not that I know anything about being elegant! This last photo is me modeling the stole. Let me just say that I was getting hot. Down here in Houston it is like 90 degrees. Oh and I won't even mention the dozen mosquito bites I got during this photo shoot. Okay, it wasn't a dozen but it was ten. And yes, I did count them.
