Since I finished the Scheherezade stole and clue 5 of mystery stole 3, I decided to get back to work on the Moon Dance stole. I am using a gray zephyr that didn't quite get along with
Kimberly. I didn't think I would have enough for the full stole because I can't get more than what I have and all I have is just under 70 grams. Instead of casting on 101 sts I cast on 61 thinking that would be enough width for a scarf. This morning, after finishing 13 of 16 repeats of chart B I decided I would have too much yarn left over and I didn't want it to go to waste. Solution? I ripped all that work out and started over casting on 81 sts instead. I hope it works this time and I don't run out. If I do I have an idea of what I will do. I can try and get some black zephyr and do both borders in black. That will solve the problem entirely and I still think the stole will look alright. I'll just have to make sure I have very good lighting because black and my eyes don't get along very well.
Well it's back to knitting. Maybe I'll get caught up to where I was by the end of the month. The stole will be put aside soon for other knitting that has deadlines and it's back to work tomorrow. YUCK!!!

That's too bad. I'm a terrible of judge of yarn needs, especially with lace.
