Tomorrow will be one week since I started the Secret of the Stole KAL and I am so excited that we already have 500+ members. That means that if even half of those participating right now complete this stole there will be 250 beautiful stoles out there somewhere that I had a part in creating. Man, what a trip.

My friends call me an enabler and Websters defines the term:

a. To supply with the means, knowledge, or opportunity; make able

I think I have to admit it and confess that I have found my calling. If you haven’t signed up yet, what are you waiting for????

Boy I can’t wait for October 5th!

The general info and swatch chart have been completed and uploaded to the Secret of the Stole KAL site. It was a lot of work actually putting down everything I could think of to help the members get started on this lovely stole without mentioning the theme or giving away the secret.

If you haven’t joined the group yet, we would love to have you.

Late last night we put the finishing touches on the buttons for the new KAL, Secret of the Stole. Please feel free to grab one and enable your blog readers to discover the Secret of the Stole for themselves.

Well, I think I have finally done it. I have figuratively gone off the deep end of the boat. Just when I was clocking along at a pretty good clip on my current lace (and other) projects a theme for a stole hit me like a brick. I began feverishly designing and charting this stole pattern and the theme just flowed onto the graph. So, one thing led to another last night and around midnight central time I realized that this would be a great KAL stole.

Since the Mystery Stole #3 is winding down I realized there needed to be a little time for a breather, but this stole would be a great one to be worn on New Year’s Eve. With those things in mind we should be able to begin on time and complete the stole in time for those NYE parties. So, without further ado, I present to you:
