I’ve put down my other project for a few hours to make progress on this old thing. It’s a #westknits #ShawographyMKAL from years ago that I’ve had in the wip pile.
When I chose this pure cotton & colours I ❤️❤️❤️’d. 3 years on not so much. But hey it will be useful to keep me toasty at the office. 🧶

Decided I need more orange in my life. Knitting up #westknits Daybreak (yes, it’s a go-to pattern for me) with #PortFiber Dance Dance Dance as the main color. This colorway is called Juicy Fruit. 🧶
Last year's #westknits #MKAL is finally ready to wear. #knitsky
Week 78 of #showmryourknits is #garterstitch! This storm is a good day to work up a project in it and binge watch something.
Here’s another of #westknits Purlbreak shawl I made.

I finished knitting the Stephen West 2013 MKAK Colour Craving. (I didn't start it IN 2013, I started it in December last year.) I love it!

And Cashew’s puppy shawl is done!! I made sure to block this one RS up this time 🙄. I hope he loves it! 2 shawls down, one to go! I just love this yarn so much! Gonna miss working with it.

Now drying after a full soak and blocking. Bubbly Blossoms Blanket by #westknits and done up in over 4000 yards of Lankava Mainio from #finnishedknits - almost feels like a weighted blanket on the bed! My planning spreadsheet is linked in the project that shows how much to knit every day for a year.
Forgot to post this once I got it pinned down.

Shawl is officially too large to display in my lap! The dye hides it, but there’s a 12 row repeat. 12 of 16 done before the finishing and BO, but I may cut it short to get it done in time. 😬

So far the Aurora Cain Shawl by #westknits is very relaxing. I suspect this project will take me through the winter! 🧶
My completed and blocked knitted shawl from the 2025 “Mystery MusiKAL” by designer Stephen West, pinned neatly on blocking mats. The shawl features bold geometric patterns and flowing wavy stripes in shades of teal, red, cream, and navy. The design transitions from diamond motifs to textured ridges and curving lines, showcasing intricate stitchwork and color blending. The even edges and defined shapes highlight the finishing process, with light from a nearby window illuminating the texture and color detail.
It’s very interesting. And it’s very chaotic. I bound off early after making too many brioche mistakes. There’s really only one thing I don’t like about the design, and it’s that straight line between sections 1 and 3. Otherwise, I dig the vibe. #MysteryMusiKAL #westknits #knitting #MKAL2025

MusiKAL Shawl by Stephen West
It has a lot of fun techniques and color play. I loved the squiggles and the triangle stripes. There is no balance or cohesion. I would not knit this again.

Aber: für etwas, wo ich keine Idee habe, wo das hinführt, ein kleines Vermögen ausgeben? Einmal drauf reingefallen, nie wieder. Rein gruppendynamisch bzw. als soziologisches Studienobjekt finde ich den #westknits #MKAL fasznierend. In diesem Jahr ist es

Finished clue 3 just in time for the final clue! There are a bajillions ends to weave in, but I’m into it and the final shape is starting to reveal itself.

Many setbacks. Much frogging. Photo in comments.
