This stole is the fifth version of the Lady Eleanor that I've made (modeled by my best girlfriend, Bri). The first version I knit using mostly my homespun. The second, third and fourth versions were knit with Noro as is the fifth version above.
Why did I make so many of these, inquiring minds want to know? Well, I taught several entrelac workshops last year. Each version of the stole represents one workshop taught, as I started a new one each time I began class, working the tiers along with my students. I found this method an effective way to teach the entrelac technique.
I finished this stole last winter, but was unable to block it until recently. You know, all that pesky chaotic life stuff got in the way. Anyhoo, I am happy to call this LAST Lady Eleanor done! She is now on her way to a new home and owner. I hope that she enjoys wearing it as much as I enjoyed making it!
that's beautiful!

ReplyDeleteStunning! Not sure I believe it's your last one, though...
ReplyDeleteoh I love the colours.. :) it is so beatiful. I tried last winter to make one in the same pattern.. although the recipe called it a "Super Karla shawl" ( named after af fantastic supergirl-tv-personality from the '70'es in Denmark. When she twirled wearing her shawl she would disappear.
