The third Mystery Stole Knitalong hosted by Melanie of Pink Lemon Twist is well underway! Melanie released the first clue on June 29, and 4000 members are gradually discovering, at the same time, the design as it unfolds week by week.
The Mystery Stole is an intriguing concept - nobody but the designer knows what the finished product will look like - therein lies the appeal. However, given her previous mystery stole designs, you can be pretty darn sure it won't suck.
This clue was fairly short because it only started with two stitches and increased, but I think the next ones will be the full width and rectangular. But you never know!

Kimono shawl beginning
I've been wanting to do this shawl since I got the book, and this is a nice long term project. You don't want to sit and knit this all at once, because it does get a bit monotonous, but it's nice to pick up and work on on movie night.
I'm using size 4 Boye circs and Knitpicks Shadow in...um, I don't know. The greenish one. Lost Lagoon or something like that? I had used this earlier for the Mystery Stole, but ended up frogging it because the style just didn't suit me. It's a beautiful stole, just not my style. I was worried that all that frogging/reknitting/spit splicing would really do a number on the Shadow but it held up well. I like the multiple hues in this yarn and it's fairly soft. I'm in no hurry with this, so it's a nice leisurely knit I can take my time with.
