I have decided on my yarn for this! I will Navajo ply it and it should be close to a fingering weight… This yarn is amazingly soft and the colour is to die for:-)
January 2nd.
I cast on for the medium shawl.
Clue #1 used 27 grams of my 100 on this cone. (I have 2 cones) 432 yards divided by 3 = 144 yards.

zzzzzzzzzzz tad predictable! (Could have done clue 2 last week and gotten it right!)
One interesting stitch… humm let me guess, clue 3 and 4 are expanded versions of clue 1 and 2, a picot BO… short rows to make an edge and collar on the top. *yawn* (Sorry SK, I am bored… I should have gone for the beads! Maybe I should wait and order some?)
I think I will put this Kal on the back burner and focus on the CM sweater Kal instead/as well. I’ll have to see but so far this isn’t really rocking my boat!
Maybe it’s just me… Maybe I am just not suited to Mystery Kals.

It’s finally done and has gone for it’s long hot baths! Such a pretty colour!
I didn’t even use 100 grams! 89 grams:-)
