My Secret of knitting

I've been working on Secret of Bad Nauheim for awhile now. The body pattern was released in four parts, which need to be repeated 3 to 3 1/2 times to acheive desired stole length. I'm doing 3 repeats since I'm a shorty.

I'm actually almost finished with the final repeat, but since I have a photo of 2 repeats to show, I'm skippin' the whole dry-blocking scenario until I have the first edging repeat done.


A lovely close-up:Since Moni's designs have turned me into a KAL Stepford wife, I'm gearing up for the Slow Bee Mystery (Slow Bee Mystery 2 still open for sign ups, in case you feel compelled to conform).

Here's my swatch, blocked on unbleached muslin for your hardly-contrasted viewing pleasure:
