Dulcavina

I've been lucky enough to test knit Laura's latest stole pattern - Dulcavina.


Isn't it lovely?


It measured 76" x 24" and took just under three hanks of Malabrigo Laceweight yarn in colour Verde Esperanze ( with about 25gms over) on 3.75mm needles. It's the first time I've used this yarn but it won't be the last. It's such a beautifully soft merino wool I wouldn't have believed anything that wasn't Cashmere could be so soft. I bought mine from Stashyarns in London.


The stole is made of a travelling vine pattern is in the centre with vine lace zig-zag at either end then a deep border all around.



And part of the bottom edge with one of the pretty corners





Has that wet your appetite?
