Since I am not going to start the Forest Path Stole until February (yeah ... along with those of you who are also interested ... look out for the details next week ;)), I attempted the Unst Lace Stole, whose swatch you've seen. How was it going? These are two of the messes I got:

That, my dear, is why I never knit with anything thinner than fingering weight! No laceweight for me, cobweb...HA! Life's to short for knitting to be that frustrating!
The FPS should be a piece of cake after that tho :)
Agnes, just hang in there. If it doesn't work this time, never mind, just wait, and it will work some other time. I almost gave away this threadlike mohair yarn because it refused to work, then months later, I cast on again and it just knitted away. Now, fairisle is something I haven't tried yet :)

I can't work with thin yarn, that's why you haven't seen real shawls from me! :) I know what you mean by the thousand yo's in circular needles.

sometimes postponing a project is the nicest thing you can do for yourself and for the project. Good choice.
