Black Olives
This stole reminded me of black olives while I was designing it so that is what I ended up calling it. It starts with a provisional cast on. Once the main knitting is done the lace edging is knit sideways on the working end, then unzip the provisional cast on and knit the border on the other side. It was fun to design and to see it progress. The blocking really did open everything up a bit more. The yarn is Pisgah Yarn & Dyeing Co., Inc Article 2025, Rayon Petalspun in Black. It was a 1680 yd cone. I’m not exactly sure how much yarn I used…more than half….maybe 3/4’s of the cone. I used size 5 (3.75mm) bamboo needles. They were circular…it was what I had available at the time I started the project.
I put more pictures on my Ravelry project page .
