Try not to pass out
Finished stole!

The yarn is Lion Suede, colorway coffee, although to me it's more chocolate brown.

It is modified version of Lily Chin's Reversible Cable Wrap, in Vogue Knitting on the Go: Shawls. It's modified because I used completely different yarn with a bigger gauge so I cast on 66 stitches instead of whatever the pattern calls for.

The pattern is easy and mostly mindless, but just the right amount of interest. It's easy to go past the 6 rows between cables, though, so if I hadn't ever had to frog it, it would be a foot longer now.

I really love it. It's cozy and perfect for cooler fall weather.


And look what goes perfectly with it.

I admired it at the Irish festival a few weeks ago and my very cool husband got me for our anniversary.
Speaking of our anniversary...






He also let me order these stitch markers from Entrelac.

They are perfect because we have a wedding ring quilt that I made him when we got married 11 years ago, and it is blue and green interlocking rings.

The Omegas are unrelated, I just like them.

Ana even included a cool card :)
