Proof, at Last

I've long felt that I could hear the yarn speaking to me:

Freshly-dyed skeins for your Flight Path Mystery KAL

And now I can prove it.
 

Mystery KAL Kits, and a Not Very Helpful Hint

In case you didn't get around to checking Ravelry this weekend, I'm delighted to tell you that the Mystery Knitalong kits are ready for order! 

If you click the obnoxiously-glowing button on the sidebar here, you'll be taken to the Abstract Fiber website where you can buy them for - are you ready?- $15.00 each!  I don't know about you cats, but in my world, when I can't decide between two colorways, and then it turns out that they are SO fairly priced, why, the solution to Get Both is totally obvious.

And while I'm on about our mystery knitalong (when am I not?), I think it's time I offered you a sneak peek:

This is an extreme closeup of the sample made from Colorway 2.  Notice anything unusual about this colorwork?  Take your time.  I'll wait.

Post your guesses, and I'll tell you when somebody figures it out.  Bwaaaa Haaa Haaaa!  I love this KAL game a little too much. 

I think I may have a future as a benevolent knitting overlord. 


Congratulations, Emily!  With a close second to Audrey, whose guess was almost correct.  Yes, the stitches are upside-down.  But I photographed the sample right-side up.  So how can that be???

Love,
Mysterious Mary

Congratulations, Susan and Ginny!  You cleverly surmised that (at least the part in the photo) is worked from the top down.  My Gentle Readers are all such clever Beasties.  I'm gonna have to make the next one way harder...

Warning: The following images may be hazardous to your Yarn Diet.  But I have to tell you about some delicious sweets:

Colorway 1

Colorway 2

These are the freshly-dyed (and now fully-dry!) yarns for our Flight Path Mystery Knit-Along Kits!  Both are Abstract Fiber "Alto", 100% BFL.  Lip-smackingly good.

Colorway 1 is a tart and tangy blend of Pale Turquoise and Royal Blue, set off by accents of Bright Green, Soft Violet, and Carrot Orange.  Colorway 2 is a sweet and sugary mix of Carnation Pink and Deep Red, framed by the same Green, Violet and Orange accents.

Am I mean to dangle bonbons like these in front of you, when you can't get them yet?  Yep.  But I'm doing it for your own good:  How will you really and truly know how to indulge your sweet tooth when the time comes, unless you've seen the very best options?  Believe me, this hurts me more than you.  I know what it means to see something so tempting, get all want-y, and then feel the cruel pang of being made to wait.  But my dear friends, I love you enough to make sure you don't blow your yarn diets on any sub-par treats.  I can't have any of you falling off the wagon prematurely for some Hershey's Kiss, when there is a box of Godiva on its way.

I'm starting the sample today.  I'm going to try not to overindulge.  No promises, though.
