Dancing Cranes Stole
Shui Kuen Kozinski and Benne Ferrell
Yarn:
Dye for Me Suri Alpaca Merino Glow
Natural
I really loved this pattern when I was first picking out a large lace project. Initially, I had decided to make the Queen Anne's Lace Shawl, but that ended poorly, so for my second try, I decided to make this.
I was really inspired by this picture:
It looked so beautiful, comfortable and practical, that I decided to shorten my stole to ~260 stitch cast on instead of ~300 and do only two repeats of the pattern instead of 3. It was a really relaxing project to knit that worked up really quickly. I love how it turned out and I can't wait to wear it! The yarn was perfect for this because there is just enough sparkle to make it pretty without being a disco ball. It's super soft and fuzzy as well, which is always a plus.
Dec 2012 Update: I really love the look of the pattern so I am going to make it again using the amount of repeats and cast ons that the pattern says to use. I feel like I would be able to wear the scarf more and enjoy wearing it more if it was bigger. We'll see what yarn I get. I am currently eyeing up the Valley Yarns 2/14 Alpaca Silk in natural.
