🧶🧶🧶 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!

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

🆘️😣🆘️ Have tried brioche for 1st time on this MKAL. Ripped it out a kazillion times. Missed YOs in setup row too, finally got that right to = 37 but still, the brioche looks weird. Is this right or wrong? Aaaaarrhh.

Houston, we finally have lift-off!

Got MusiKAL off the ground, at last. Hit the brioche section, a stitch pattern I've never done before. So a LOT of frogging going on. I keep reminding myself, frogging IS knitting, part of the process. Am one week behind. If I can conquor clue #1, clue #2 looks super easy. This is a fun one!
