Postcard from the Edge | Spring String MKAL Kits

This year’s Spring String Mystery Knit Along with Marie Greene of Olive Knits is all about discovery, delight, and stitches that feel like a postcard from someplace beautiful. Each week in April, you’ll open a new clue and watch your shawl unfold — a gorgeous three-color triangle with texture, lace, and color details that are worth writing home about.


Our kits include 3 balls of yarn in your selected colorway, a skacel by addi Ewenicorn Turbo fixed circular needle (24" long size US 5), plus access to the Spring String MKAL: Postcard from the Edge!

WHAT WE'RE KNITTING

A beautiful, large triangle shawl — approximately 60 inches (152.5 cm) wide, wingtip to wingtip when blocked — featuring three stunning colors. This design is full of charming lace, texture, and color play, but don’t worry — no stranded colorwork here! Just smooth sailing and beautiful stitches.

 

SKILL LEVEL

Perfect for intermediate knitters, or adventurous beginners ready to join the journey!

 

NOTE

The MKAL adventure is nearly here! We’re working to send your kit on its way as quickly as possible. While delivery by April 1st can’t be guaranteed, your special package will soon arrive — and you’ll be ready to cast on and catch up in no time! After all, the best mail sometimes arrive just when you need it the most.
