What is a MKAL?

An MKAL is a Mystery Knit-A-Long and Stephen West is famous for creating the most spectacular shawls for each of these mystery events. Every autumn knitters around the world knit a shawl based on a new "clue" (a fresh section of the pattern) that is released every Friday.

There is a very active Ravelry group for MKAL members, with loads of support on hand and always someone to cheer you on. Stephen will also have great tutorials for any tricky bits.

How do I sign up?

Unhappy Yarn

Beautiful color, feels great squeeze…Winding that yarn was AWFUL. It definitely had a mind of it’s own.. Winding the first two skeins drove me to some dark chocolate. The second two skeins are in a time out until they can learn to behave

Hi Cathy,

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us a review and I am so sorry to see the skeins caused you such an issue when winding.

I know it is of little help now but for the future we are always happy to wind skeins before shipping and so they would arrive ready for cast on. If you were a little closer we would also be happy to take the other two into the shop to wind for you. I will have everything crossed that the remaining two will behave after their time out.

Wishing you all the best,
Aisling
