The 2023 Westknits Mystery Knit Along (MKAL) is starting in less than a week! I wasn’t sure if I was going to participate (still not 100%), but I have selected yarn and I’m ready to go just in case. Keep reading to see my color choices, thoughts on participating this year, and predictions for the Geogradient Shawl!
Last year, I participated in my first mystery knit along by Stephen West and I had so much fun. The MKAL is usually in October so, to prepare, I set out to finish out all of my WIPs. I finished the Nightshift Shawl a couple weeks ago and now I’ve just finished the Overthrow Wrap. Keep reading for my experience knitting this wrap:
I have the most amazing little stash of hand dyed yarn right now, and I wanted to share it before I start knitting through it.
I have been knitting a lot lately, and getting more comfortable understanding what the different stitches look like and how to fix mistakes. I am really confident making socks and I’ve been successful in the couple of blankets that I’ve made, but I wanted to try something a little more “difficult”. I found a free pattern from Tin Can Knits and bought everything I needed to make the Flax Light Pullover for my niece. That sweater was so much fun to make; it wasn’t perfect, but it got me excited to try another one for myself.
