The Westknits Mystery Shawl Knit Along (MKAL) occurs each fall. Sign ups and kits launch in September as we collect colors to knit a surprise shawl pattern. We knit together throughout the month of October and Westknits releases a section of the pattern each week until the final design is revealed. The Mystery Shawl is a complete surprise, so when you sign up you just know what types of yarn you need and then Westknits entertains you with a beautiful showstopping shawl.
