I joined a Knit Along

This is for a mystery stole, where you get a clue revealed every friday for 6 weeks.You can eighter knit both halves at the same time or do one half and then do the other. I have never done this before so it ought to be interesting, The first clue will come friday. I have my yarn and needles on their way so am anxious to try this. I have never worked with lace yarn, so this will be a new experience for me. I picked shadow, grape jelly from knitpicks, purple for the project spectrum for the month of July, for the pattern, that I dont know yet, and will be working it on #3 circulars.
Well after a few false starts,a few trips to the frog pond and changing needles to a smaller size so I would'nt lose the pattern when my stole was blocked here is the progress
1. swatch






2. cast on






3. the first 10 or 12 rows






4. the first 50 rows






5. the progress so far





I love working the pattern it is worked in one piece starting in the middle and working both sides.I am going to try to pick up the other side tonight before I get to far on it and to see if I can do it. This as well is new to me so hope I can do it without going to the frog fond again, I have learned alot by working this pattern Melanie is excellent at giving directions and the pattern is a very easy read.
