The stole measures 170cm x 52cm. It is intended as a gift but after trying it on I realised how soft and warm it is. It might just not quite make it to the gift pile!

The last one for the year
My last shawl of the year is the Crest o' the Wave Stole. This stole has been on my needles forever and a day. I would pick it up and knit a couple of pattern repeats and then put it down for something more interesting. The yarn, which is Touch Yarn Kid Mohair Merino 2 ply, has been frogged a couple of times as well. I could just not find the right pattern for it. I finally realised it needed something simple and that was the problem. The pattern is a simple 12 row repeat. So simple in fact that I got very bored with it. Still, I persevered and finally finished the stole. I had intended to keep knitting until I had used up all the yarn but I fear that after 40 repeats I had had enough!

it's lovely! I'm glad you persevered. I'm on a 12 row repeat stole that goes for 30 repeats. I'm not sure I could go another 10 repeats. Very over it!
It is simply beautiful! I adore the color too.
Are you sure you can't squeeze in another little shawl, these last two days of 2010....? (VBG)
Any plans for 2011?
And of course: your last shawl is lovely again!
Beautiful - love the colour! Happy 2011 coz. Hope it is showered with love, health, happiness and lotsa knitting opportunities.
