The Westknits Mystery Shawl Knit along (MKAL) occurs each fall. Get ready to celebrate 15 years of MKAL magic with this year’s shawl: Go Go Dynamo! This design is bursting with energy, featuring bold, playful details that will keep you on your toes.
MKAL stands for Mystery Knit A Long! Knit Alongs (KALs) are fun, social activities in which a group of knitters all make the same project in a specified timeframe. A Mystery Knit Along adds an extra level of spice, because you won't know what the thing you're knitting is when you start. A section of the pattern (clue) is released each week, and at the end of the Knit Along, the final design is revealed.
What is the MKAL?
The Westknits MKAL is always a shawl design, and always incorporates interesting techniques (shaping, stitch patterns, and other design features), but beyond that, it's a mystery!
The pattern isn't included and you will need to buy it directly from Stephen West via Ravelry.
The clues are released every Thursday. If you purchase the pattern through Ravelry, you will receive an email and be able to update your pattern in your Library. If you purchase the pattern through westknits.com you will receive an email when the update is available for download.
There are four clues:
Clue 1 - Thursday, 3 October
Clue 2 - Thursday, 10 October
Clue 3 - Thursday, 17 October
Clue 4 - Thursday, 24 October
Which yarn base should you choose?
We are using our bestselling superwash 75% merino 25% nylon 100g 425m per skein, as the colours are more vivid and speckles really shine.
This year, we are also offering our non superwash 100% merino base which is 400m per skein, the colours will be more muted than shown due to the non superwash qualities of the yarn. Speckles are a little more "smudged" on the non superwash base, so please bear that in mind.
