Supported Knit-a-long: WestKnits MKAL 2025 w/ Sarah

It’s time for the WestKnits Shawl Mystery Knit-a-long (MKAL)! The superbowl of the knitting world!

Every year esteemed knitwear designer Stephen West designs an exciting new shawl pattern that uses interesting techniques and plays with color and texture. The pattern is released in weekly segments or “clues” over a 4-week period.

Join our instructor, Sarah, and a group of fellow knitters to work through the clues as they’re released each week. Sarah is an experienced knitting instructor who will be there to help you through each twist and turn of the project! Join a community of knitters as we try to complete the shawl in 4 weeks! 

Update! This year's theme has been announced! Mystery MusiKal -This year's MKAL is a mysterious collage of bold stitches, unexpected directions, and vibrant color play. Each weekly clue will built a new "track" in your shawl, creating a wearable mixtape of texture and rhythm.
