twinings stole
in lacewight yarn, an airy veil of a thing to skim the shoulders if a chill strikes.
or knit in a larger size with slightly heavier yarn it makes an excellently warm wrap.
the vine motif climbs from the hem, wending its crookedy way to the center back; a softly pointed, openwork edge trims the sides.
shown here in fearless fibers merino laceweight, colorway rubicund
for more information, or to order, please visit our shop
huge thank yous to nan, debbi, and anne (all blogless!) who test knit and made excellent pattern suggestions.
i have lots of photos—the light was beautiful this morning and the stole was flirting madly with the workmen on the job next door. shameless, but blushing like a girl.

Fabulous pictures! I do love artsy lace shots. I already mentally chose some green cashmere from the stash to knit this one. I’ve got to get it under control, here. I have so many projects lined up that I can’t possibly finish them before I die.

Another beautiful creation. I am trying to keep up with you but it’s hopeless. Perhaps if I just took up knitting full time! Wonderful photos too, the one with the light and shadow playing on the lace is just gorgeous.

Oh, my, it’s absolutely pulchritudinous!!!!!! I love it!
September 6th, 2007 at 1:42 pm
By the way, I must say that I love the personification of the shawl in the wind with the workers next door: “blushing like a young girl.” That’s exactly what it reminds me of!
September 6th, 2007 at 1:46 pm
What a beautiful stole. Love it. The color is just perfect.
September 6th, 2007 at 2:01 pm
You know…I love the fact that post more than just a few photos. I love seeing the lace in as many different photos as possible. The color is amazing too. It really suits the lace design.
September 6th, 2007 at 2:13 pm
You…. enabler!! What a wonderful pairing of color, yarn and pattern.
September 6th, 2007 at 2:15 pm
I love this one, it is so pretty.
September 6th, 2007 at 2:25 pm
Oh, what a beauty, Anne! And could any setup be better for knitters to get patterns than the web? Best use of the www that I can think of!
September 6th, 2007 at 2:25 pm
As usual this is just stunning! Already purchased and printing even as we speak. Keep up the good work.
September 6th, 2007 at 2:27 pm
Beautiful! How do you do it (I don’t really care, just keep doing it!!)
September 6th, 2007 at 2:27 pm
that is lovely, truly beautiful!
September 6th, 2007 at 2:49 pm
What does the center look like? is the stole knit from each end to the middle or one end to the other?
September 6th, 2007 at 2:56 pm
Stunning! But but but – I haven’t even cast on for the Bee Shawl yet!
September 6th, 2007 at 2:59 pm
Wondering the same as Barbara and also are both ends equally as undulating? Beautiful either way!
September 6th, 2007 at 3:14 pm
Breathtaking! I love the simplicity of the vines!
September 6th, 2007 at 3:15 pm
Yay! I’m off to the shop now.
September 6th, 2007 at 3:17 pm
oh dear, oh dear. it is absolutely gorgeous in its simplicity.
September 6th, 2007 at 3:18 pm
Crap. I had my mind all made up to make my mom the Japanese Feather Stole for her 60th, then you throw this at me? Thanks a lot!
Sigh. I guess I’ll just have to drop out of grad school and knit full time. Would you mind writing a letter to my husband explaining the whole thing? Much obliged.
September 6th, 2007 at 3:28 pm
Stunning! Gorgeous! Breathtaking! *gasps for air* I just love it.
September 6th, 2007 at 3:28 pm
Beautiful, as always! I think this one is it for me. Your making it really hard to decide though – you know I can only handle one big lace thingy/year
September 6th, 2007 at 3:35 pm
As Berlin would say: “You take my breath away!” The stole is gorgeous!!!
September 6th, 2007 at 3:42 pm
Lookit her, shaking her goods out in the yard for the whole world to see! I think you’re rubbing off on your handknits.
September 6th, 2007 at 3:55 pm
I just love all the photos with nature. The color and the pattern are lovely. I still haven’t started the bee shawl – now I want to make this too.
September 6th, 2007 at 4:16 pm
It’s gorgeous! I’ve got to stop coming to your site. I want to knit all your beautiful patterns but I only have two hands,lol! I think this will be my next stole as I finsih up Morning Glory.
September 6th, 2007 at 4:24 pm
She is just beautiful !
September 6th, 2007 at 4:30 pm
I can’t keep up with you! Still trying to dye the right colour for the last stole! This one looks great in pinks, Think I will dye some pink yarn for this one. Congratulations on another wonderful design.
September 6th, 2007 at 4:39 pm
Anne, you never dissappoint. This is really stunning – I must make it.
September 6th, 2007 at 5:01 pm
Stunning. Your work just keeps getting better and better.
September 6th, 2007 at 5:06 pm
Beautiful pic’s, glad the light was so wonderful for you today
I especially like the one with the leaves that are hanging slightly over the top of the stole. I like how the green of the leaves “pop” against the rubicund color of the yarn.
September 6th, 2007 at 5:13 pm
Oh Anne, I just had to wipe up drool from my keyboard! lol Your shawl is so lovely! I wish I could knit as fast as you create! Your work is stunning.
September 6th, 2007 at 5:45 pm
Ey yi yi………..every time I think I have seen my favorite shawl, you crank out another beauty. Blocked out, this is incredibly beautiful.
September 6th, 2007 at 6:59 pm
So pretty and feminine! I need to learn to knit faster.
September 6th, 2007 at 7:29 pm
oh anne! that’s sooo beautiful! question: can it be made less wide with less pattern repeats? is it easily adjustable?
September 6th, 2007 at 7:38 pm
that is so terribly seductive. what are you trying to do to us?!
September 6th, 2007 at 8:07 pm
It is so pretty. Did she get any whistles back for all her flirting?
September 6th, 2007 at 8:57 pm
Simply gorgeous (again). The light indeed is perfect in those photos.
September 6th, 2007 at 10:27 pm
Beautiful photos again, what a little minx to be flirting with those workmen!! What a gorgeous pattern, it looks fantastic.
September 6th, 2007 at 11:06 pm
Applause!! Another winner. You’re a machine, woman!
September 7th, 2007 at 7:34 am
It is just breath-taking! I want to reach into the monitor of my PC and caress it!
September 7th, 2007 at 7:45 am
Lovely! As per usual, you and Deb have rocked the house.
September 7th, 2007 at 10:23 am
Holy crap. I need that one. I love the simplicity of your designs. Understated elegance.
PS: I am a little jealous of the size of your living room floor. Blocking can be a bit of a pain in my house. At least I have a small spare bedroom that is out of the way.
September 7th, 2007 at 1:46 pm
Anne it’s gorgeous! I just love it!
September 7th, 2007 at 2:43 pm
The new stole is very pretty. It looks like something growing right in the yarn.
Congrats on your new yarn store. I know you have worked hard to get where you are!
September 7th, 2007 at 11:53 pm
Oh my. How absolutely lovely!
September 8th, 2007 at 7:21 am
so, so lovely. and the color!! I ran over and bought the three skeins she had left yesterday. SUCH an enabler!
September 8th, 2007 at 7:39 am
Yet another MUST HAVE pattern!
September 8th, 2007 at 9:57 am
I like the look of a rectangular stole and this one is gorgeous.
September 8th, 2007 at 1:19 pm
Dadgummit, you can get the patterns up in the shop faster than I can even add them to my queue! Hmmm, Honeybee or Twinings, honeybee, twinings …..
September 8th, 2007 at 1:57 pm
This is absolutely stunning!
September 8th, 2007 at 6:40 pm
OK, first, Stop with the gorgeous lace stoles already, I still have to Start Morning Glory, and Second, there is the flirty, blushing lacey tart, but where is her Mistress to model her…. Twining’s sia nother stunner… when’s the book coming out?
September 9th, 2007 at 6:22 am
Heck, Anne, that is utterly amazing! And your photographs do it justice which is saying quite a lot. It’s not easy to capture such beauty and subtle patterning. Stunning work, girl!
September 9th, 2007 at 7:21 pm
The first picutre of this post, made me go “wow” again! I would never have thought this yarn would make this lovely stole! Once again, well done!
September 9th, 2007 at 10:02 pm
You’ve done it again
Simply gorgeous in every way! I keep coming back and gazing at all the photos of it. The color is perfect!
September 11th, 2007 at 9:23 am
I’m in LOVE! Are you going to make mitts to match??? I have just the yarn……
Your designs are always stunning and I love that you use Fearless Fibers because it is one of my favorites too!
September 12th, 2007 at 8:54 am
It’s beautifu…it burns with an unholy fire!
September 12th, 2007 at 9:17 am
Oh, so gorgeous!
September 15th, 2007 at 2:44 am
Good grief, Anne, Temptress Extraordinaire!! This one is definitely my next lace project. Just love it. I keep trying to finish up projects so I can get started on some of yours with a clean conscience, and you just keep making more patterns!!!
December 27th, 2008 at 4:31 pm
This is the most beautiful shawl I have ever seen. It is perfect both in design and in colour.
