Starting January 1st, we will begin our first Stunning Mystery Society Knit Along for 2023. As we knit our projects, we will enjoy Budapest.

This will be a two-color shawl in optional small, medium or large. We will be doing mosaic (slipped stitches), a bit of lace and adding optional beads.

The clues will be spread out over 8 weeks with simple, non-stressful sections released each week.

If you’ve never done a Mystery Knit Along before, you are in for a treat. Discovering the mystery along with your fellow knitters is the best.

Skills Needed
Each clue will be fully written out and charted. The stitches used are very basic, so it is a relaxing knit, but with enough detail to keep you interested. Basic knit increases and decreases (yo, k2tog, ssk) are included, but anything beyond that will be explained in detail. We will be offering a good introduction to working mosaic, and adding beads.
