The 2015 Westknits Mystery Shawl KAL is officially my favorite mystery KAL to date. The Doodler was fun and exciting to knit, and it sneakily made even a knitted-on edging enjoyable by placing it in the middle instead of the end, so that I didn't even realize what I was doing until I was well into it.
I'm also quite satisfied I managed to utilize stash from two or three years ago, including the Schwefel (which is not sure if it's a green or a yellow) which had not inspired me until I saw it next to the Mont Blanc and decided they were destined to be together. The Petit Poison Nr. 5 dark, on the other hand, is a long-term favorite Wollmeise colorway.
I'm very happy with the finished product, and this one I'm definitely keeping to myself. It's something I will be taking to my next Westknits class or get-together if I ever attend another one.

Beautiful, Helena! I would never have thought to place Schwefel and Mont Blanc - two of my favourite Wollmeise colours - together. This is one of my favourite finished versions of Doodler, and I think this pattern is one of those that shows that the colour choices can really make or break a pattern. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThank you! The colors ending up together was really a happy accident!
