FO: Blooming Fuchsia Shawl

Originally I designed this shawl not for Mystery KAL because I thought this is a simple triangle design and nothing new about it. However, I really wanted to do mystery KAL and many people in the forum seemed like the idea. So, in the end I published this pattern as my first Mystery KAL.

Since this is my first Mystery KAL, I was really nervous that people would not like the pattern. There were times I regret my decision to publish this as mystery KAL, but I could not do anything about it anymore.
I was very happy that people seems to like the pattern. There are more than 100 projects in Ravelry. For me this number is good enough and considered this Mystery KAL a successful one.

Since the KAL is over, it’s time to reveal the FO. Tadaaaa!

I love making this shawl and as soon as I finished blocking, I immediately planning to make another one, larger one. Too bad, I couldn’t do it because I was out of yarn at that time. I have the yarn now, but I have already in the middle of other project, so I guess I will do it in the future.



Another thing is that originally I designed this shawl without beads, however, somebody asking whether it is possible to put beads. In the end I added beads on the pattern as an optional.

Blooming Fuchsia Mystery KAL

UPDATE 29 Feb 2012: The Mystery KAL is over. You can buy the full pattern or the kit here.

So, I decided to do my first Mistery KAL in February called: Blooming Fuchsia Mystery KAL.



Blooming Fuchsia is a triangularish-shaped shawl worked from the bottom up. I named this shawl Blooming Fuchsia because the color of the yarn I used to knit this shawl is inspired by the color of blooming Fuchsia.
Pattern includes charts and written directions, and instructions to calculate the stitch count totals for every row. I also include the number of stitches to cast on and the yardage if you decide to work a different number of repeats.

The KAL is divided into 4 Clues published every Thursday starting on February, 2.
1st clue: February, 2
