What will you find on the other side of the looking glass?

The Through the Looking Glass KAL is a mystery lace knitting club. Janine le Cras designed a stunning circular shawl for our first mystery KAL club, The Secret Garden and a triangular shawl for The Enchanted Wood a lace weight rectangular wrap using the classic story Moonfleet as inspiration and is now treating us to a Faroese style shawl based on the imagery of Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll.

This shawl is designed for fingering weight yarn and can be knit in Luxe, Tinsel Toes, Sushi Socks, Verve, Greensheep Fingering, Green Sheep Cotton Bamboo Fingering or Pashmi or Marici Fingering (for an extra charge). You can choose a regular colorway or one of our Gradiance colorways. You also have the option of including beads. We will be using high quality beads supplied by Earth Faire and will pick out a color that will coordinate with the colorway you choose. Or, you can supply your own beads (bead requirements TBA). The pattern is designed to use either beads or nupps.

Sign up now and your yarn will be shipped in time for the start date of October 15th. The pattern will be emailed to you in pieces. On the first day you'll receive the instructions for the first part of the pattern. In the following weeks you'll receive the rest of the pattern, bit by bit. But you won't see a finished picture of the shawl until the very end!

We'd love to have you join us on this knitting adventure!

Announcements and conversation will take place on the Ravelry group board so please join us there! The designer (Janine le Cras) and the dyers (Kelly Eells and Laura Lough) will be active on the Ravelry board as well as on Plurk to answer questions about the pattern and cheer you on!

If you'd like to add beads to your shawl, you'll need a very thin crochet hook.

KAL membership can also be purchased through Earth Faire.

You can find the free text of Through the Looking Glass online at Project Gutenberg or the free audio verson at Librivox.

Price: $80 for the pattern and yarn; $20 extra for Pashmi, $35 extra for Marici Fingering, $12 extra for Bead option, $10 extra for International shipping. If you'd like to order yarn for more than one shawl, use the "Additional Shawl sets" option so that you only get charged for the pattern once!
*For Pashmi or Marici Fingering please make sure to add the extra charge to your shopping cart!*
