Stone Page No. 6

The latest in the Stone Page series featuring a beautifully tumbled rock from the sea.

I stitched the rock in place with the idea that I would bead around it, but I'm liking the look of the delicate thread against the rock. Hmm.

Yarn

Owning lots of fingering weight yarn, what to do with it ---- give it away, continue to store it, or come up with a project to use some of it. In the end, I sorted the yarn into two piles, one pile of clear colors and the other of greyed colors. I'm now working on a shawl/throw (depends on how much yarn I have as to whether it will be a shawl or throw). To the grey pile I added a ball of handdyed mohair in a deep blue/purple color combination.

Project details - fingering weight yarn; size 9 needles; feather and fan stitch pattern; 312 stitches (allows for 3-stitch borders).
