Finally, the Fern Garden Stole.
Draped on the furniture.
Modelled.
Obligatory closeups.
I’m over the moon with it! Apologies for the delayin blogging about it, I had the costume to finish for yesterday morning, and I got struck down by a migraine/virus Thursday night that’s still lingering on. I haven’t even been knitting. I tried to work on a sock last night, and it was giving me motion sickness.
Anyway, specs.
Pattern: Fern Garden Stole from Alpaca with a Twist. I added beads to the edging, and I did two extra repeats in the body of the stole.
Needles: Inox greys, 3mm.
Yarn: Jaggerspun Zephyr 50% Merino, 50% silk in White, about 110g.
I didn’t get my Easter Show entries in on time this year, but I’ll put this one in the local Campbelltown Show, I think.
Oh Donna it looks spectacular! Most definitely needs to be entered in a show, you don’t need to think about it. You truly are very clever, I don’t know how you find the time to do and finish so many projects. Another job well done!
I agree,a First Prize for sure,it looks lovely and well worth the effort you put into it! Good luck with the Show!
GORGEOUS! Simply gorgeous. You have a lot to be proud of. I particularly like the beading.
That is GORGEOUS! More than GORGEOUS! I’m serious. It is the only lace that I look at and think I should knit that. I won’t. But it makes me want one!
And the beads? The perfect touch! PERFECT~
Great job, Donna! Wear it proudly!
As usual Donna, absolutely fabulous!
Oh it’s brilliant. I am glad you are happy with it and you definately should be. Well done.
lovely – stunning – perfect!
Its gorgeous! Really beautiful.
Ohhh, it’s beautiful! I LOVE the beads on the ends! Love the Jo Sharp cardi from a few posts back, too. It is a perfect sweater.
I think this is my first time to comment on your blog, Donna, but I’ve been reading you for a long time. Hi!
Beautiful!!! I love the beads you added!
That is so beautiful. I love how you added the beads to the edging.
Are you ready for the Dragone yet? 😀

I hope you get over the bug soon, those migraines are a nuisance to say the least!
Bee-u-tee-ful.
So very beautiful! You really put your heart into lace work and it shows. Well done.
Fern Garden is gorgeous. I love the beads; they add just a touch of subtle elegance.
That is gorgeous – love the ferns! Adding beads to the ends is a great touch – I imagine just gives it a little weight so it doesn’t fly away. Bet you feel great wearing it!
It’s so lovely! And seems to have been a quick knit. Job done good.
Definately a first place winner with that one. It really does suit you so well, and it looks gorgeous. It does look really light and airy too.
