This gorgeous stole was a pleasure to knit, from start to finish.

This is Kidsilk Haze in 664 Steel - the most lovely delicate soft grey - and lots and lots of silver lined glass beads from Debbie Abrahams.

You can read all about it - and see lots more pictures which are all infinitely better than mine - here on Debbie’s website, and here on the website of Alison Crowther-Smith, who is - of course - the designer.

I’ve had to be quiet about this until the Bead Club 2013 opened for signups - which, of course, has now happened. I was the sample knitter here. And yes, it was quite hard parting with it, when it was finished!
