A little Mystery in the kitchen!

Starting January 1st, we will begin our first Stunning Mystery Society Club knit along for 2026.

Stunning String Studio has Let’s Bake kits available in your choice of colors; complete with yarn, stitch markers and beads.

Created in sport weight, this two color shawl is knit with optional beads in your choice of 4 different sizes.
The clues will be spread over 8 weeks with simple, non-stressful sections released each week.

If you’ve never done a Mystery Knit Along before, you are in for a treat. Discovering the mystery along with your fellow knitters is the best.

Each Clue will be added to the one(s) previous, so in the end, you’ll have the final pattern in whole.

The MKAL discussions will be in the Wild Prairie Knits Stitcher’s Lounge, so come and join us.

Skills Needed: Each clue will be fully written out and charted. The stitches used are very 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 in detail. Beading is optional.
Pattern is fully written and charted.
