I have been determined to keep up with the clues and finish with everyone else but I am so tempted to quit. The pattern is working out nice although I like the looks of the MS3 Stole better but it is requiring about 12 -16 hours of knitting a week. After I get both of these stoles finished, I probably won't do anything lace for a long, long time.
Clue 3 finished
Clue 2 finished
Clue 1 finished
The stole seems like a big commitment right now since I am trying so hard to work on the Dale of Norway baby set for my friend. When I chose the baby set, I thought I had a full six months to work on it but the shower is 2 months before the due date. So I only have until Dec 1st. It is progressing but on #1 needles the process is sloooowwww! It take about 4 hours to get 1" done ... I am so glad I chose to do the smallest size.
Progress so far

There was no way to keep shaping in the stripe pattern.
On a better note, the MS3 is in hibernation until at least next spring when I decide to knit the wing. I like the MS3 pattern so much better than the SOTS pattern. On the MS3, I added about 12" and knit and alternate border. I really love how it is looking and am so proud of it.
Clue 4 finished with added length and border

Anyway, I thought I'd give a quick update on my knitting since I haven't made an entry for awhile. I have been a little lost in the Ravelry world when I am not knitting ... I have been able to organize my knitting and dream of new projects. The dreaming of knitting something else has been so much better than the reality of what I am currently knitting. Right now, I am actually looking forward to folding about four loads of laundry.
