Here she is all blocked and very happy. I really love how she turned out.
In case you didn’t know, the theme of this year’s stole is Swan Lake and one end represents a wing which makes the stole asymmetrical and really quite different.
pattern: Mystery Stole #3 by Melanie at Pink Lemon Twist
yarn: JaggerSpun Zephyr Wool-Silk 4/8 in white, less than 4 oz.
needles: size 4/3.5 mm
notes: I knit this according to Melanie’s directions and used white matte beads which don’t show up very well, but still add to the stole. I really enjoyed waiting for the clues to be published and not knowing what was coming. I’m definitely doing this again next year. Thanks, Melanie!!

It looks beautiful! I like how it’s different on both sides.

Kim, this is the first finished stole I´ve seen and it is VERY beautiful. I´m happy to knit the wing.

Exquisite! You did a fantastic job. I love seeing it all blocked out and on a person’s shoulders. Definitely incentive for me to get past Clue #6 and onto #7 and then off the needles. Great job!

Absolutely stunning!! Great job.

I’d had doubts about the different ends but you know, that really is amazingly gorgeous. Better than I thought it’d be. And it looks so good in the yarn you chose!

It’s beautiful! I like the size of it. Time for Peacock Feathers now?
August 19th, 2007 at 8:40 pm
Wonderful!
I love the finished look of the stole. I´m knitting mine in black so it look a bit different. I think I will knitt one moore in a lighter cooler after seeing your white stole.

You wearing it is really quite lovely. I wasn’t so convinced seeing pictures of other stoles flat on a surface. But worn it is stunning especially the wing looks great!
August 19th, 2007 at 8:45 pm
It is beautiful!
August 19th, 2007 at 8:59 pm
Absolutely beautiful! I haven’t started and, like many, was unsure about the assymetrical effect. Seeing it “in person” makes all the difference. (knowing me, it’ll be 10 years before mine is finished!)
August 19th, 2007 at 9:03 pm
That turned out really pretty! The wing looks almost realistic. cool

Hi Kim, until yet I doesn´t know how to finish my own stole. I’d had doubts about the different ends. But after seeing this gorgeous stole I know I will finish mine in the same way.
Thanks so much Vera

August 19th, 2007 at 10:23 pm
Wow! It looks really realy lovely! The wing is stunning. *Gorgeous* work!
August 19th, 2007 at 10:26 pm
Great job. You caught up really quick and it’s already done.
August 19th, 2007 at 10:29 pm
That’s so lovely, you did a great job. I love the “wing.”

Very pretty – you did a fantastic job knitting it (and modeling it!) =)

That is a fabulous looking stole. I’m doing a way simpler one and can’t seem to get into it, sigh…maybe some day…ciao
August 20th, 2007 at 7:56 am
It’s really fabulous! It’s nice to see the stole worn too instead of flat pics.
now I need to finish my other projects so I can continue knitting my stole(I think I stopped at the end of clue 3…)
August 20th, 2007 at 11:28 am
OMG! That is gorgeous!
August 20th, 2007 at 12:57 pm

That’s gorgeous! Beautifully knit.
August 20th, 2007 at 3:23 pm
Beautiful! what a neat shape!
August 20th, 2007 at 4:52 pm
It came out gorgeous. When The Wing was revealed, I put my shawl on hold because I wasn’t sure I would like it and wanted to see some finished ones first. After seeing yours, I am going to go ahead with The Wing.
Lovely.

Beautiful! This is the first pic I’ve seen of a finished Mystery Stole. I can see now why everyone is so crazy for it.
August 20th, 2007 at 10:18 pm
It looks fabulous the way you hold it. Mine is still crumpled in a heap
August 21st, 2007 at 7:32 am
Yours is the most beautiful one I’ve seen yet! You are inspiring me to continue on mine!
What size needles did you use? Is 4/8 the dk weight?
August 21st, 2007 at 1:01 pm
Totally beautiful, Kimberlolly! I think it is so elegant!
August 21st, 2007 at 6:16 pm
Really beautiful, Kimberly! And your camera seems to be on a winning streak.

Oh! It’s beautiful. This is the first one I’ve seen all done and blocked. It’s lovely. I love the asymetry. You did a great job. I love that you picked white. Very appropriate.
August 21st, 2007 at 11:45 pm
What lovely work! The asymmetry makes it so interesting!
August 22nd, 2007 at 1:18 am
It is gorgeous. I am only on Clue 3 but seeing it finished, I am going to do the wing.
August 22nd, 2007 at 2:03 pm
Wunderschöne Stola!

Beautiful shawl!! Very elegant!
August 23rd, 2007 at 5:25 pm
Kimberly, it’s stunning. You must be so proud!
August 23rd, 2007 at 10:02 pm
It’s adorable! I wish I started mine in white!… Well, I have the pattern, I may always start another one. *^v^*
August 24th, 2007 at 2:16 am
just have to get on the band-wagon and say…that is so beautiful. LOVE the asymetry. I am happy to report that I finished my first knitted project in 5 years…a hat, yay! thanks for the inspiration!
August 24th, 2007 at 7:28 am
Wow, I like the different sides of the shawl. The wing-side of it is my favourite, it is awesome!
Very well done.

STUNNING! I absolutely love how yours turned out. I’ve finished the knitting and now I just need to do the blocking. You’re finished photos have me feeing inspired.
August 24th, 2007 at 10:48 pm
[...] finished the knitting on the Mystery Stole 3 and after seeing this post I was eager to block it as well. (Thanks to Annmarie for the link!) It took me about 45 minutes to [...]
August 25th, 2007 at 9:50 pm
Breathtaking! I can’t believe how out-of-it I am that I’ve never heard of the Mystery Stole. I’m signing up with you next time. And I swear never to miss another post from you – you find the coolest stuff on the ‘net!
August 26th, 2007 at 9:00 pm
That’s stunning. It looks very classic and delicate in the white.
August 28th, 2007 at 2:35 am
I’m a little late, but just want to tell you your stole is beautiful and so elegant! Mine is blocking as I write this – I can only hope it turns out as nice as yours!!
