A mystery knit-along (MKAL) requires confidence in the designer that your time and (more importantly) your precious yarn will not be wasted. As I was very pleased with my version of The Aquarelle Shawl (an April 2022 MKAL), I cast on The Tuesday Night Wrap the very afternoon the first clue dropped.
The early details alerted the 100s knitting along that the pattern would be released in four parts, create a rectangular wrap in two sizes (either scarf or larger shawl), and require two different yarns (one fingering and the other a lace weight mohair) best if undertaken in complimentary colors. With Miss Marple serving as the pattern inspiration, lace work was a must as her character is always adorned in lace – lace collars, lace gloves, even lace wound in her hair.
With finished dimensions of 16 inches by 67 inches, this scarf is wider than I would normally feature. Although the softness of this lovely merino fingering yarn, hand-dyed by Heather Best at Sew Happy Jane, will wrap nicely for squishy, cuddly warmth.
Librarian’s bibliographic note: Miss Marple, Agatha Christie’s popular knitting sleuth, was introduced to readers in a short story published in 1927 and entitled: The Tuesday Night Club.

This is super pretty and I love the contrast yarn edging. (Also…anything with a book-related theme and I’m there for it!)

Its lovely. What a relief it must be that you like it. I’m doing my first MKAL but it’s a gnome so low commitment on yarn and I’ve seen her other gnomes. Doing an MKAL for a larger item I’m not sure I’m brave enough. I’m glad this worked out so well for you.

That is a pretty scarf. I haven’t done a mystery KAL as too many times I haven’t liked the final items from ones I’ve seen. I’m also not a fan of most mystery yarn boxes although funny, I am enjoying my Advent calendars which are of course mystery by nature. If I can ever get my stash down, I would be tempted to join a mystery yarn subscription just to get me to use yarns that are different for me. So glad it was fun for you.
