Clue one of the Socktopus Mystery Shawl

I’ve joined the knit-a-long for Alice from Socktopus’ Mystery Shawl [Rav Link] and up there you can see clue one, in its completed state. I’m knitting mine in Socks that Rock (Heavyweight) in Jaded and I’m loving both the yarn and the pattern. Although, really, I think I should have knitted the first clue on 6mm needles as the StR Heavyweight is very much a DK-y sock yarn but I do like the effect it gives now – and there’s still the blocking to take into consideration.

Hilariously, this is the first time that Jam and I are knitting the same pattern at the same time – we often knit the same things but staggered, so it’s quite nice to be able to compare and contrast as we go, particularly as we’re using very different yarns.
