Peacock Feathers variant
Yay, finished Peacock Feathers from Fiddlesticks. Instead of the triangular shawl, I went with the stole version, using the original pattern as guide.
What a lovely fun knit.
This took me a little less than 4oz of zephyr, and a tad under 2 weeks to finish. I knit this by provisional casting on 128 stitches, and then when done with the one side, picking up and knitting the other side. I also added clear #6 beads. Here’s a pic of the join.
There is a disaster associated with the stole. My two year old beautiful daughter somehow thought it was okay to play with the ball of yarn and proceeded to bite into it like an apple (sigh). She broke the yarn at the needle, and several places in the ball mess. Here’s that picture:

Your stole turned out beautiful even with your disaster. My 18 month old Grandson also seems to think that balls of yarn are apples…until he bites into yet another one and then the look on his little face is priceless
