Beehives Ahoy!

Beehive Section



I'm making good progress on the beehive section of the Bee Fields Shawl, and I wish that I could work on it all of the time. I seriously want to cast on the Honeybee Stole immediately, and I may or may not have picked up some yarn during lunch to swatch with.

I'd like to make a solid Killer Bee black stole, and I'd like something about the same weight as the Wooly Wonka kit I'm using for the shawl. The yarn I am going to swatch with may be too heavy, and it might have more halo that I'd like. Does anyone have suggestions for me?

If it's a solid black you're looking for, Carrie, Jaggerspun Zephyr Wool-Silk laceweight comes in Ebony.

Wow, I'm just blown away by the thought of knitting the Bee stole in black! Your "Bee Fields" knitting is lovely, though, so if anyone can do it, you can.

Absolutely gorgeous!!!

I'm so impatient to cast the Bees on now, but have to finish a gift shawl first...
