I'm still slogging through the Through The Loops Mystery Shawl 2017, but the KAL is over. Designer Kirsten Kapur has renamed the project "Fugue in Mosaic Minor," and is it for sale on Ravelry.
Many people have finished their shawls. Here was mine before we left Madison for Door County:
I was halfway through Clue 3 out of 5, so I figure I'm about halfway through it. Now I've seen photos of the finished shawl, and it is pretty stunning.

| Can you see my mistake here? There's an extra pink ridge at the top of the mosaic section. I'm OK with it. |
One of the nice things about it is that there are four mosaic sections, each one more challenging than the one before it. It's like a mosaic tutorial.
If you are interested in the pattern, you can find it
here.
This is my trip knitting, but I don't know how much I'll get done. My main focus is on the art quilt I need to finish for a show this winter.
That ridge doesn't look at all like a mistake to me - definitely a design element. I love the colors you chose!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! And, that hot pink will certainly brighten up the grey days of winter.
ReplyDeleteOh, it's just gorgeous! Love those colors and all the texture. Door County is one of my favorite places, too -- enjoy your trip. Have you been to the Door County Creamery in Sister Bay yet? They have terrific goat's cheese and make wonderful sandwiches.
ReplyDeleteI did take a peek at the finished ones and they are stunning!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is sure pretty! You need to keep at it! The mosaic is a pretty accent!!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a fun knit! Love the colors you have chosen. Door County is so beautiful - enjoy your visit.
ReplyDeleteLovely! No one will notice the "extra" ridge without the pattern right in front of them, and I doubt it would be noticed even then.
ReplyDeleteYour work is gorgeous.
I really love the colors you chose! Beautiful! And, absolutely no one will notice! It is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's fantastic. The texture is fabulous. I've never really considered a mosaic project like this. hmm. You've done a great job. And seriously, even though you pointed out what was "wrong" I don't see it as a mistake at all. Well done.
ReplyDeleteNice work; Kirsten makes great patterns. I don't think I've ever finished a KAL in the allotted time. Love your shawl and hope you have time to finish it before school begins again. Where did summer go?
ReplyDeleteGreat colours! It looks really good doesn't it. Enjoy using it!
ReplyDeletepretty array of pinks!! I love the pattern and the color choices. Looks like the perfect size not too big or too small.
ReplyDeletePhoooph. I one extra garter row is a pattern improvement! I LOVE DOOR COUNTY. Happy Everything there. Wilsons Ice cream ! Not licked yet! Penninsula state and my favorite JULIES !! Enjoy . Knit some! Hope you arm is good
ReplyDeleteWow that really is a stunning piece. Good luck with the finish. That could never be my trip knitting, I need something really simple with no counting for a trip.
