Needle size
Well, I was lazy and didn't really swatch to test the needle size. I went straight into using 2.75mm with Alpaca Cloud (thicker than cobweb) and cast on for the stole. Now I am at row 15 of first repeat ... no much to show you. But I am a little bit concerned that I am using a needle size too small ... the YOs don't show too clearly even when I stretch the little piece out. I'll try to take a picture of it this afternoon. If I have to start again, I prefer to do it earlier than later. So, I would like to know what needle size you are using. Thanks.

i don't know if this will be helpful or not, but in the shetland workshop i did, the leader suggested size US7 (4.5mm) for laceweight yarn...i found that a bit larger than i was happy with, but it's a place to start...i'd suggest at least a size 4, probably a 5 (sorry don't have the mm page open yet lol)
