I'm on a Roll
I can now work on Icarus a bit more. Madli is finished, nupps and all! I finished her a bit before midnight Friday. (Guess what I worked on yesterday? I'll show progress on Icarus on WIP Wednesday. And maybe a new WIP if I get my yarn.) Anyway, here she is:
Specs:
Pattern: Madli's Shawl from Interweave Knits, Summer 2004
Needles: Size 5
Yarn: Knit Picks Shadow in Jewels
Size: 19" X 62"
Let me just say that this picture was the best one out of about twenty and it still doesn't do justice to this stole. The detail is really pretty and the Shadow yarn has bits of purple that just don't show up. You can sort of see the nupps in the close-up, but the texture in the stole is so nice.
And being modeled by Lily Brown Bear.
Although I did enjoy this stole, the nupps got to me after a while. I'm glad that I finally finished her though! I'm very happy with the finished product. Might be a while before I attempt nupps again though. (There are only a few in Forest Path, so that shouldn't get to me too much.)

Wow! How absolutely GORGEOUS!
So pretty! I love the color. :)
beautiful...
I can't believe how gorgeous it looks, you did such a great job with it! This stole's a true beauty with all these lovely details and in this great color! Congrats on finishing it!!!
Absolutely lovely.
she is just simply and magnificently, beautiful...
Wow. More inspiration for me! I wish I could start all these at once. You amaze me!
So lovely. And the nupps completely make the stole.
Beautiful, I think I have to stop working to reach everything I want to do.Why does the day and night only have 12 hour each......
LOVE it! It's fantastic! You are an awesome lace knitter, darlin'.
You got me drooling over this pattern too.
that stole is STUNNING!
Beautiful stole. How did you like the Shadow yarn ?
Wow - absolutely gorgeous! And I agree about the nupps. I really want to do Fiddlesticks Lily of the Valley stole, but after Madli and 5 Estonian scarves, it will be a long, long time before I do nupps again.
very very pretty!
I'm with you on the nupps driving you batty... the finished product sure does make it worthwhile, doesn't it? Just gorgeous!
It's stunning! I'm looking forard to seeing your Icarus, too. :)
Very beautiful. Makes my tiny nupp undertaking (Swallowtail Shawl) seem puny. Now I don't have any excuse for my behavior - need to suck it up and get it done!
Just beautiful.
Oh wow- I love the color and it looks amazing!!!!
Just catching up with my reading. Your recent lace shawls and stoles are breathtaking. How beautiful!
