I thought this would be a lot harder then it actually was. I'm surprised with myself that I was able to do these and they look good.

Happy 2nd Birthday Baby!

Completed hint 2. I had to burn bamboo on this one. I sat down friday night to try and finish it I was on row 117 and made it up to 168 from 9pm to 1 am. It had to be done by 12 am CST so i just made it in time. I have hint 3 and am starting that tonight. I love the KAL aspect of this. I have tried to do lace several time and didn't stick with it but having the contests and race feeling is keeping me interested and going on this so this might be my first finished lace. We'll see. I do love the pattern, color and texture so I'm sure I will push myself to do this one.

I love this daddy and Kiki cut the wood. I painted it with my lizards and a Godsmack sun and it is so pretty and personalized. I'm so happy.

Thank You Daddy

Thank You Kiki

My secret of the stole hint 1 was completed just in time to start hint 2 today. I'm proud of myself I only had to rip the whole thing out once. Not too bad. The second time it went very smooth and worked up easy and I like the look of it better as well. Now I just have to insert a lifeline before I start hint 2 so that if there are any issues I can save what I've done so far. It's a lovely rainy miserable day here today so I think I will curl up and knit for the better part of the afternoon.

I joined the Secret of the Stole along. Not sure how this is going to work out I've never really done lace and a mystery along so I'm excited to see what happens. This is my test swatch it is Misit Alpaca Lace in Garnet and I still haven't decided on beads. I think these amber ones will look good but not sure. The black get lost and the Ice I think are to too clear. LOL You know what I mean. I will have to see the first clue is being released on the 5th so we will see how I do. Wish me luck!
