MS3 -- Chart E and F done.

I finished off clue 4 the other day, so I figured I should get around to taking a quick photo of the stole in progress. There’s a 2 week gap between clue 4 and 5 due to the release of Harry Potter, so that gives me some time to work on hubby’s cable jumper that has been cast on this week. I’ll try to remember to take a photo before it’s finished.

Back to the stole…

This is officially the last clue for which I can take a photo of the entire stole since if it gets any longer it will no longer fit on the settee and I don’t have anything other than white mattress/sheets to pin it out on (hmm… off white stole… white sheets…. nope, don’t think that’s gonna work. Call it a hunch.)

I’m really liking this pattern so far. I’m still thinking of dyeing it baby blue when it is finished, but we’ll see how it looks when it’s all said and done. I’m actually not much of a stole wearing person (you may at this point be wondering why on earth I’m making it), but figured it might make a great large scarf like object to wear with my wool coat as I like my lightweight scarves on the long and wide side… kinda stole sized. And besides, you never know when I might actually need a stole. ;)

What I actually found amusing about taking the photo of the stole was this:

This is me and my 7-month pregnant belly taking a photo of the stole. Why do I like this photo? For the simple reason that this is the only time (from any angle) that I’ve actually looked pregnant. I actually have to thank the camera angle and the fact that I’m leaning back for the baby belly, because it’s really not that big (in otherwords, object in the camera are not as big as they appear). In fact I’m getting a bit tired of people telling me that I’m not 7-months pregnant. Like I’m going to lie to them about this. Really, people.

Now I really need to get some stitching done….
