I have bitten by the bug that seems to be sweeping the net. The Mystery Stole 3! I didn't know a thing about this until I happened to be at the Harlot's site on Friday and just couldn't resist. I found this lovely cashmere/merino laceweight in the stash that I got in a swap last year and I love how it is turning out. I did have to go down to a us 3 to get the look I wanted in the stockinette but don't think that will change it too much. The bronze beads I found in my stash really show up well I think. The funny thing about starting this was that I had everything onhand to just get started which hardly ever happens! I even had the itty bitty crochet hook that you need to put the beads on with. In fact, I have an abundance of them from several grandma stashes of knitting/crocheting tools that I have inherited through the year. I have looked at those hook so many times and wondered, just what the heck do you use these for? Now I know and am glad that I didn't have to go hunting for them!

Hi, it's me, Brooke in CA. I accidentally deleted my old blog, and have been putting together a new one. I've included you in my "brookes that knit" links. I am trying to do the MS3 too. I spend more time frogging that knitting. boo hoo.
So, how far along are you on MS2 now?? I am almost to row 100, can't wait to get out of double diget rows!! LOL. I have checked out some of the finished pics... amazing!!
