🧶🧶🧶 Slowing things down a lot on this #WestKnitsMysteryMusiKAL shawl, designed by #StephenWest of #WestKnits.
Clue #2 - nine curvy bands of color - each held to the next with narrow eyelet strip in pink mohair.
Teaching myself to enjoy the process. Turns out there is no race against time, just an old habit to rush, that I'm working on eradicating.

🧶🍾🥂🧶 Clue #2 = soooo much easier!
Yes there is stitch counting for short rows. Using stitch markers helped a lot with both those things. Looks more orange here than in real life.
I go back and forth between liking this #MKALand finding it all too busy. I proceed, having faith in #StephenWest and #WestKnits. Onward!

🧶🧶🧶 Jesus, Mary and Joseph, people! FINALLY finished Clue #1 of #MKAL- the MusiKAL shawl from #StephenWest of #WestKnits. It was a beast.
All those ends to sew in. Juggling 3 needles for all those welts. The constant color changes. Aiaiaiai.
Clue #2, with its glorious long bands of garter stitch, here I come!

The MKAL, just one more crescent to complete clue #1. Giving myself to Christmas to finish the 4 clues, and enjoying the process!

Slogging forward on the WestKnitsMKAL2025.
I'm 2/3 of the way through clue #1. The final clue (#4) is about to come out! So, I've had to majorly adjust my self-expectations. It's OK to take longer. I don't know why I put these time pressures on myself.
Peeked ahead at clues #2 and #3. This design is wild! Based on music.

OMG I finally finished part one of clue one of the #StephenWest #MKAL. Hooray!
Tried for the brioche stitch for THREE AND A HALF DAYS!!!!! Still couldn't conquor it, although I think I finally understand what went wrong. Epic fail.
Plus a color change. Plus a color order change. Finally, off to the races. Yay! #WIPWednesday

🧶🧶🧶 This year's #StephenWest shawl #MKAL is a good one:
🧶 4 high contrast colors
🧶 Solid or speckles work, as long as high contrast - great for stash-busting
🧶 Fingering weight, w optional "mohair dare"
🧶 Built-in "early exit" if running low
🧶 Has extender options, if you want a large "shlanket"
🧶 Starts in October, so syncs up perfectly w #FinishOrFrogAlong 😊https://youtu.be/UUoZwty9DYA?si=N_260D8dpT0Oh7lf

Loving how this Mingling Daisies Shawl is coming out! And have seriously fallen in love with this 30% yak 40% merino 30% silk blend from Anzula Lana.
Just one or two more repeats of the three stripe sequence to cast off with an i-cord finish.
A very mentally stabilizing and clarifying knit - did a lot of good thinking during this one. Recommend!

Here we go, several bands of overall shawl pattern down, 3 or more to go! Yak is magic yarn - so strong I can't break it with my hands, so soft it feels much like cashmere. And that color over a gray base. Loving it!

Look at this... 👀👀👀!!!!
A sweater version based on the hugely popular #AuroraCabinShawl of the #StephenWest #WestKnits school of design.
As some of you might recall, I started knitting again and joined Mastodon, both at about the same time. The shawl was a marvelous knit -- lots of variation, 5 colors but always one at a time,tricks and techniques.

Hello #Knitterati ~ FINALLY coming out of a months-long funk involving COVID, RSV, long hospital stays, and ginormous sleep, eg 15 hours a night... Yikes!
Back at this #MinglingDaisies shawl, #StephenWest #WestKnits.
So far, easy-ish with 3 pattern bands - mingling daisies, open lattice, broken rib. Will probably add extra band of all 3, for more length in back.
In Anzula Lana, a dreamy merino-silk-yak blend.

Ooh-la-la Fiber Folks, this yarn is a revelation! Anzula's hand-dyed Lana - merino, silk and yak. Yak!
It's like butter. And the strength! I cannot break the yarn with my bare hands, even though it's just fingering weight.
Re color - it looks to be dyed on a distinctly gray base. Don't know about other shades in Lana line.
WIP is #ChasingDaisies from #StephenWest #WestKnits.

Here's another shot - much more accurate color in this one.
Now the mosaic color has gone all dark and high contrast in this next large band of triangles, followed by a deep edging, all in the contrast color.
SO. As someone else recently posted here, "Meet the shawl where it is." Therefore, I'm just gonna go with the flow, see what happens!

My #AuroraCabinShawl from Stephen West's HKAL last winter. I learned so much making it!
The air has cooled, so I've broken it out for winter. Cosy, lightweight, large, worked in silk and cashmere from #JadeSapphire. It's a great pattern. 😊

Taking a break from knitting because friend is postponing their travel so I'm going to stress my fingers by resuming spinning. This colourway is from World of Wool's zodiac series. Can't even be mad this is mine... I really do like these colours 😅👀👀👀 #HandSpunYarn #YarnSpinning #TurkishSpindle #knitting #crochet #knitstodon
