il mare oscuro
I didn’t quite get this finished for the Ravelympics deadline, and it took me even longer to block it, but my stole, inspired by the sheen of the yarn and the ideas of water and the sea, is finally finished.
Pattern: My own, composed of motifs from the Barbara Walker stich dictionaries
Yarn: Briar Rose Fibers Sea Pearl (merino/tencel) - very nice to work with and lovely sheen.
Needle: 3.5 mm/ U.S. 4
New techniques: Russian join, sewn bind off
Yards knit: 815
More pictures are at my blog and on Ravelry .

Thank you!
Gorgeous!!! And because you designed it yourself, there’s only one in the whole world!
Thanks!
That is beautiful. As soon as i saw it I thought I have to find the pattern for that… then cried a little inside when I read there wasn’t one.
Thank you very much!
Very pretty! I love the edgings!
