Stole Redux

We’re better than halfway home here and this stole is more and more appealing to me as I go along.  The finished piece will be about 19” wide and around 66” long.

I hadn’t thought I would like bobbles; I’m just not a bobble kind of gal - but these are different.  Unless you’re very close to the stole, they’re difficult to see.  It’s a perceptional shift - pick up the garment and you can certainly feel them :)  But from any distance at all, they disappear.  Very cool!

It occurs to me that small bobbles could be used to incorporate a simple Braille message into a piece of work - “I love you”, “Be warm” or “Nana went to England and all I got was this bumpy scarf”...

Happy Thursday, all!

1. Thanks for the lowdown on the bobbles - great technique.  Your stole is looking wonderful.  I love the colour changes :)

2. Thanks Pam -  wasn’t too sure about the color when I saw the yarn as it had appeared much brighter online than it did in person.  But it’ been growing on me and I’m very happy with it now :)
