Done!


And I LOVE it. It's just the splash of color I'll need in the collar of my autumn jacket. A jacket that will soon drop into my mailbox. I'll show you the ensemble when I have it.
Again: Stephen Wests' ability to simplify technique into concise directives in a pattern is like reading an art piece to me. So well done. If you've never knitted intarsia before, just knit this and go "Oh, so that's how you do it huh? I just did it, didn't I?", when you're done.

First clue

I am at knitcamp. Best holiday ever. We sit and knit in the middle of nowhere with beautiful views and lovely people around us. I started by making my Clue 1 in the Westknits Mystery KAL. I hope my color choice pays off.

Westknits Mystery Shawl KAL part 1

This is the most perfectly timed Mystery KAL evah!
I was trying to choose which Stephen West shawl to make For Me (Because I’m on a Clockwork that’ll be a gift. It has to stand back for a bit.) and this pops up just as I was unable to pick one of the many…

YAY! Stephen chose for me!

Then I went to KnitNation and actually got to say hello to Stephen West himself (Hi Stephen!) and I actually told him I was making this in teal, the swampcolored green and a solid grey… Then I got home and this RED just popped at me and wanted to be part of it. They’re all quite "stiff" sockyarns, but it’s just the wrap I need. But now I can’t decide which one to leave out!

The red is a Colinette Jitterbug, the “green” and grey from the Yarn Yard and the teal is a Socktopus.

Care to give me your input on what to do? I think I'll be swatching quite a bit for this...
