Breaking out of the Gilded Cage
Originally knit as our third Stunning Mystery Society MKAL for 2022.

Stunning String Studio has complete kits available in your choice of size, base, and color!

This will be a single-color shawl in optional small, medium or large, with the option of holding the lace double for a less delicate shawl. We will be working in the round, knitting lace and adding optional beads.

The clues will be spread out over 8 weeks with simple, non-stressful sections released each week.

The MKAL discussions will be in the Wild Prairie Knits group, so come and join us.

Skills Needed
Each clue will be fully written out and charted. The stitches used are basic, so it is a relaxing knit, but with enough detail to keep you interested. Basic knit increases and decreases (yo, k2tog, ssk) are included, but anything beyond that will be explained. We will be offering a good introduction to adding optional beading.
