Mystery Shawl Knit-A-Long (KAL) - Finished!



My Mystery Knit-A-Long Shawl is finished! It took 4 weeks to knit and a day to block. I really can't believe that I managed to knit it. I thought I was quite a slow knitter but apparently not. I would never have attempted it had I seen the pattern beforehand as it would have scared me half to death. But now I feel quite confident about attempting another lace shawl.



And, I can now read a chart. For some reason I just haven't been able to get my head around charts at all. But, partway through Clue 3, I decided to have a serious go at it, and I did it. So that now opens up a whole host of other shawls to try.

I think I'll be on the look out for another mystery knit to try!

  3. This is jaw droppingly gorgeous!!! I find knitting patterns bewildering and wish they made better snese to me as I fel I am missing out on a lot of knitting fun. I get by and I have manged to work many of them out in the end. This, however would also scare me too.
