Started: another beauty from Anne Hanson. This stole has been on my “list” for a couple years. It looked like a good summer knitting project. I wished I had one with me (finished) the other day. A dream, of course. In spite of the “feather” name, it has always reminded me of the little frothy bits of waves that finally make it to the beach. I picked the color accordingly. Two pattern repeats into it and I don’t have it memorized. If I glance at the pattern at the beginning of each odd numbered row, it is enough. As I knit, I picture myself knitting, while sitting on the beach, digging my toes into the sand. Instead, I find myself sitting on the deck, knitting and watching the critters in the pond.
Pattern: Japanese Feather Stole
Yarn: Ball and Skein‘s Arequipa in “Ocean”

I hope you can get to the beach one of these days!
I love that stitch pattern and your yarn is perfect for it!
Definitely ocean! Very nice…knit on.
Love it! Can’t wait to see it in person.
oooh, pretty! and judy i have swatched for a scarf with the copper yarn you sent months ago . . .i’ll start working on it as soon as i get the body of my shawl done (it’s my reward for hard work!)
Sooo pretty! Still have some of that color?
Sigh – so many of “the other” Anne’s patterns are on my list and so few hours in the day. I like that you picked blue for yours – it reminds me of the sea as well.
Nice choice, beautiful imagery…thanks for the virtual trip to the shore (which is what all of us from LBI call it)…
I made the Japanese Feather stole earlier this year in black Kid Silk Night. It turned out very elegant and was a great knit. I’d like to make another one in something vibrant like your color. It looks marvelous.
