Every year Stephen West does a Mystery Knit Along. This year will be his 12th year! Past MKALs have resulted in some of the most loved and treasured Westknits shawl patterns including Exploration Station, The Doodler and Slipstravaganza.
We will help you put together 5 skeins if you need any assistance, or stash-dive to put together your colors for the shawl (or bring in what you would like to use, and we can help fill in the blanks!!!)
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an MKAL? MKAL stands for Mystery Knit A Long! Knit Alongs (KALs) are fun, social activity 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. 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!
When does it start? Clue one is released on 8 October 2021 (A Little Knitty) will host a special daytime and evening cast on party!!!! Stay tuned!
How do I sign up? From September 1st you can purchase the MKAL pattern on Ravelry or Gumroad.com/Westknits There will be lots of fun chat in the Ravelry group, on Instagram, and Stephen will be hosting Instagram Live events throughout the MKAL. A Little Knitty will host a Facebook Group for this knit-a-long as well. You guys can chat and post update pics!!!
How do I get the clues? The clues are released every Friday. 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 Gumroad you will receive an email when the update is available for download.
How often will I get a clue? There are four clues, released on 8 October, 15 October, 22 October and 29 October. A Little Knitty will host a finale party during the day and in the evening on the 29th!!
What yarn do I need? For this year's pattern, you'll need five skeins in five different colours of fingering weight yarn: 1 skein of each colour or 100g of each colour.
