Return of the Mystery Stole

Mystery Stole 3 is in full swing with thousands of participants. I signed up for MS2, worked on it through the first two clues, and abandoned the project. I loved the yarn I used (you can see my swatch here) and thought Melanie's charts were very clear and easy to use, but the pattern just wasn't "me." Each row was unique and there were no repeats to allow me to get into the rhythm of the design.

I'm much happier with the MS3 which has repeats and beads. I'm using black Misti International Laceweight Baby Alpaca leftover from this and mat medium blue beads from Ritual Adornments, my local bead store.
