Welcome to the Boo-Knits Spring MKAL 2024!

Looking at history books/records and books of myths and/or legends, there are often the same names mentioned in both. Are legends stories including real people, in actual places, with imagined experiences with twists and turns, woven around them – essentially some truth but with a degree of embellishment? Where does history and truth stop and legend and myth begin. I don’t suppose we will ever know.

Truth or Legend is a top down, crescent shaped shawl inspired by this very question. Using two colours (one base at 400m/100g, two colours; one skein of each or one of Yarn A and two of Yarn B for a larger shawl or for yarns of less than 400m/100g) and beads on Colour B the decision is entirely yours as to whether the truth is darker than the legend or whether the legend is very much a lighter tale. Choose the beads to match Colour A – they will be used on Colour B so will stand out beautifully and provide a link between Truth or Legend.

Truth or Legend will be released in five clues in May
Clue One will be released on the 10th
Clue Two the 17th
Clue Three the 22nd
Clue Four the 26th
Clue Five the 29th

Each new clue will be released at around 10am UK time and will be added to the previous clue(s) so you have an up-to-date pattern. You might like to check each update as you may not need to print out the entire pattern on each clue release.

As always, we respectfully ask you to keep the first photograph on your project page as the placeholder, that can be copied from the pattern page, so as not to spoil the enjoyment of the mystery for other knitters.

An updated and complete pattern will be sent to all purchasers after the MKAL has finished.

Please be aware that when purchasing this prior to 10 May 2024, you will only receive a PreRelease Information Sheet. The actual pattern will be released in clues on and after this date.

You will find it useful to print your pattern on a colour printer, however, coloured pencils could be used to highlight aspects of the pattern.

The pattern is both fully written and charted throughout.

If you like my designs please join us in the Boo Group where you will find a place to discuss my patterns, show off your knitting and hear about KALs and MKALs.

Patterns already set up by KnitCompanion can be purchased, in the KnitCompanion Store, for knitters who like to use KnitCompanion, but prefer to have their charts already set up. However, MKAL patterns are not available in this format until after the MKAL is complete.
