Detective Joey has a mysterious case that he needs your help to solve. He assures us that no clue will be too difficult, and he will be here to help. You will begin by tiptoeing over trip wires, then dodging around barricades; next up, we get dizzy, followed by some rocky territory, and finally, we float away to solve our mystery.

Dates:
MKAL kicks off on Monday, January 29th (my Birthday!)
Clue 2- Wednesday, February 7th
Clue 3- Friday, February 16th
Clue 4- Sunday, February 25th
Clue 5- Tuesday, March 5th

Color Choice Notes:
Color A will be close to your Neck and, in a later Clue, will be worked with Color B.

Color B should be your darkest or lightest.

Colors C & D will be worked together in a few Clues, so make sure they are contrasting enough for your taste.

Color E will be worked briefly with Color B, and then wrap everything up at the end.

A Gradient would also look fabulous. If you go this route and it is not one continuous skein, label your colors in order A, B, C, D, and E; use them in the same manner as written.

The Colors pictured are what my Sample was knit in.
