Notes

When Tammy, the owner of Jessica Knits, suggested combining these yarns, I thought it was crazy. But it turned out to be a beautiful combintion with the Celine giving a silver sparkle to the fuscia collor of the Stella yarn.

Watch the direction of each piece as I had to frog the back, thinking the measurement were wrong when all I had to do was turn the piece 1/4 turn so I got to knit the same piece twice. At least the openwork patten goes quite quickly.

The Celine shreds quite easily so while working with it, be sure to tie a little knot at the end of the yarn. Then I used fabric glue to secure the ends I wove in as they tended to poke out through the openwork holes.

I used the larger needles for the openwork portion and the smaller for the Staghorn Cable section.

I get lots of compliments when I wear this!
