Hanami Stole is DONE! | November 19, 2007 @ 12:26 am |
I am in love, love, love!
I am in love, love, love!
OK, it was done awhile ago, but I haven’t posted any pictures. And I even posted pictures a few days ago but haven’t written a post! See how I work?
Let me just say that the marriage between the Hanami Stole and Marisilk is meant to be. It is gorgeous!! I only wish I could’ve used up more yarn. I had about 1/2 - 1/3 skein left and I would’ve loved for the stole to be longer. For those of you who don’t know - Marisilk is the same as the Handmaiden Sea Silk. Y-U-M-M-Y!!!
I would even go as far to say that I would make another one in Wollmeise laceweight or even sock weight. But it wouldn’t have the beautiful sheen that the marisilk has. But it would be heavier and I like things to have substance! We’ll see. By the way, I frogged the one in the malabrigo laceweight. Too dang light for me!

I’ve had my eye on that shawl for a while, such a beautiful design, and it looks wonderful in that colour.

Beautiful! Love the color of your stole!! Where did you purchase your yarn from? I went into the Sheepaints web site and they don’t offer the color berryshine.
