A little Mystery in Victorian London!

Starting October 1st, we will begin our fourth Club Mystery Knit Along for 2025, as we virtually travel to Victorian London.

Stunning String Studio has Murder at the Manor MKAL kits available in your choice of colors; complete with yarn, stitch markers and pattern.

This will be a one color cape in 4 optional lengths. We will be doing cables and a bit of lace.

The clues will be spread over 4 weeks With simple, non-stressful sections released each week.

As we knit, we will also be discussing the mystery book Murder at the Manor by C.J. Archer.

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.
Pattern is fully written and charted.
