Duocenti MKAL by Laura Nelkin in Sycamore & Charter Oaks - September 2016

My First Mystery Knit Along aka MKAL

Today I started working on Clue #1. Actually I've only started the cast on process since how much time I can spend knitting each day is limited while I continue neck / back / shoulder rehab.

None of us participating in the event will know exactly what the finished object will look like until the final clue is released and a speedy knitter finishes their project. The first clue was released September 18th. Clues #2-4 will be released weekly. Buy the pattern on Ravelry here and join in!


SCHEDULE of Clues 
Clue #1- Sept 18th 
Clue #2- Sept 25th 
Clue #3- Oct 2nd 
Clue #4- Oct 9th 

We agreed not to post 'spoiler' pictures anywhere for now except on one discussion thread on Laura Nelkin's Nelkin Designs Ravelry group page. Not wanting to get left too far behind I chose to use this Miss Babs Yummy 2-ply 100% Merino superwash from my yarn stash in colors Sycamore as main color & Charter Oaks - Wild Iris as contrasting color. Beads are an option. I've selected Miyuki 6/0 round beads in Ivory Pearl Ceylon.

Yes -- I will also be doing the Westknits MKAL. That doesn't start until October and is still in the color planning stage for me since my anticipated yarn has not yet arrived.
