Hello everyone! In case you had not seen it, the Inspiration Stole is the latest addition to the my love of lace run It is amazing, since it is so long from the inception of an idea to the tangible photographed magazine in your hand- that once you look, all that excitement and glory surges.
When I started this stole, its actual beginning never came to fruition. I was working a small tedious stitch, and at the beginning, it seemed to be going well. However, as I worked on it more and more, it became very monotonous and I began to loathe it. Not sure what I was thinking, but it just tells me that sometimes, it just isn’t meant to be. I started to rip out, which proved to be quite an undertaking. With time not on my side, ceased the delicate task of ripping and began anew. This of course was after consulting Marcy (the Editor of Interweave Crochet). Thank goodness she has faith in me because she said follow your instinct. I was so worried with limited time, and a whole lace project to come up with pronto.
So alas, here it came to be, the Inspiration Stole!
Lisa,
The Inspiration Stole is exquisite! I ordered yarn for it immediately! I am, however, having difficulty with round 5 of the border. I cannot get my corners and short ends to come out right. Is is possible to send me the complete diagram of the ends instead of just a partial diagram? I’d really appreciate any help you can give me.
Thank you,
Melanie
I love this stole! I think it would look great on pastel color dresses in spring:) I cant wait to wear bright colors soon.
Hi – I love this item. Is there a crochet along for this? I’m feeling a bit wobbly on it now that I’ve done the body plus two shirt sides.
Thanks.
I meant short sides, not shirt sides obviously!
Hello Arlene! I am so sorry I am late getting back to this! I will have to take a look at that and see if I can’t find if there is an error.
Thank you so much dear! I am so sorry for being late in writing back!
Hello Melanie, Unfortunately, this was charted through Interweave. However, when I get the stole up on the Crochet Garden Website, I will keep that in mind when making the chart!!
