🧶🧶🧶 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
