Masala

is a mixture of ground spices used in Indian cooking with great aroma and color. For me, it is a wonderfully creative process, full of emotion and energy by those who prepare it. No mixture equals the other. This MKAL is based on the idea, to enjoy every moment of the process. You will make a unique experience and discover the mystery step by step while mixing the three colors for this new shawl. I'm sure you'll enjoy Masala. This challenge took place from June 1st to July 31st, 2019.

It is a triangle shawl, available in one size. This shawl is top-down construction with written instructions and has been tested. Available in Spanish too, HERE

This design has a mosaic zone with the slipped stitches will be a lot of fun knitting, you'll see!.
I recommend three colors semisolid yarns. If you love the gradient yarn, I recommend only ONE skein in a smooth gradient. Not recommended a self-striping or wildly variegated yarn with vast tonal differences.
