Yarn:  Woolen Rabbit Whisper Lace Yarn
Needles:  Knitpicks Options size 5

Isn't she lovely?  You have to know how very much I love this stole to allow pictures of ...gulp...me.. in it.  I am a wee bit camera shy if you haven't noticed.

I did manage to snap a picture of Ashley romping in the garden with Bee.  I love the way Bee gently wraps around her head....it is going to make a wonderful winter stole, don't  you think?

....and of course....every Bee loves a sunflower and this Bee is no exception!

I loved, loved, loved each and every stitch in this pattern.  There is such a wonderful rhythm that flows...almost meditative.

I am sad to see her come to an end, but the reward will be getting to wear her this fall.

Now that she is complete, I am looking forward to my next lace beginnings....I think I may just have a thing for these insect shawls. :) 

Hannah and I are off for a drive thru the mountains to visit friends in Vermont.  I hope that you all have a wonderful day!

It is so lovely. I am partial to the sunflower wearing it. Very creative and lovely on her as well!

Kim - the stole is gorgeous and the photos are blissful. You got me good with the sunflower picture. Thanks for that great belly-laugh. It's too cute and funny. This is truly a special piece of knitwear.

The new stole is just gorgeous - and so are YOU!

[Laurie]

THAT is a stunning shawl, even more so in person.

[Beth]

Your stole is beautiful and it looks so nice on you!

[Valerie]

Bee is incredibly beautiful and looks gorgeous on you! What an accomplishment and if I were you I would be hoping for cool weather soon so that I could wear it. Your lace yarn is so soft, I know it must feel luscious, too.

[tiennie]

You're beautiful! The girls get their looks from you. The wrap ain't bad either. :)

[Lorraine]

Kim- You look simply beautiful in it. You did Anne Hanson proud.

Lace is an addiction, isn't it?

[Norma]

Ohhhh, just so beautiful! I love everything about it -- the color (you knew that already, I bet!) and the non-triangleness of it!!! Well done!!!! XO

Bee is absolutely stunning! Beautiful, and so are you!

Kim, the color is FABULOUS. The exact color of the local honey in my honeybear.

[Beth S.]

Oh goodness, the COLOR...! It's breathtaking. :-)

[gail]

Kim it looks LOVELY on you! Just gorgeous. I bought the pattern and yarn as a kit at the Fryeburg Fair last year. Will I have enough yardage? I really want to put it up closer in the queue now after seeing yours completed.
Will you be at the FF this year too? We just made our reservations at the inn and I sent in my entries so was hoping to see you and make some plans for the retreat in the spring?

[Katherine]

Kim, that shawl is just gorgeous! And I am absolutely in lust over that color....

KIM - the stole is beautiful and you look like a lovely bee woman in it - what could be more fitting for you - you need to model more often, chuckle !

Just read your 'rain' post! Its just like the UK! My tomatoes (indoors!) don't even have a hint of red on them & the beans are either a)pathetic(runner) or b)slug food (french)! The courgettes/zuchinni are producing a glut though! The stole is awesome btw!
