Mystery stole blocking

Here is my finished mystery stole on the blocking pads.
I did use beads and they look great on the stole, you just can't see tehm in the photos.
I used two different coloured beads. One colour (darker than the yarn) along the edges and then a shinny same-colour-as-yarn bead for the inside areas of the yarn.
I really enjoyed putting beads into my knitting. I have never done that before but I will do it again. I put them on using a crochet hook and found it really easy to do.

I like both ends of the stole but I'm not sure I like them together.
I really like the pattern fro the wing and will probably use it again.
I also like the triangular end.

Thnaks to melanie at Pinklemonknits for another interesting mystery knit along.

Your stole is beautiful!
I'm with you on your thoughts about the stole....both ends are very nice but, maybe, not together.
I still need to block it and post it on my blog.
