It’s the 15th annual West Knits MKAL season! This year, Stephen West’s annual mystery shawl knit-along is called Go Go Dynamo. It is going to be a two-colour, lively, energetic design filled with bold geometric details. Stephen also issued a mohair dare to the pattern. Will you rise to the challenge? The MKAL starts on October 3. One section of the pattern will be released each week until the final design is revealed on October 24.
To help you choose your yarn, we have put together 16 different kits using either British 4-Ply or BFL sock from Les Garçons, or Twist Nouveau from La Bien Aimée. Each kit has the option to add a skein of mohair if you want to accept Stephen’s “mohair dare”.
The kit includes the following colourways in the required quantities on BFL Sock and Mohair Silk from Les Garçons. The pattern is not included; it is available on Ravelry.
