Fall is time for Stephen West’s yearly Mystery Knit Along (MKAL)! This year’s installation is called Go, Go, Dynamo, and it calls for two colors of Fingering Yarn, 200g (2 skeins) each. Optionally you can also add 25g of Mohari yarn for the “Mohair Dare”.
Below I’ve put together some yarn combinations that I think would work great for this year’s MKAL!
The most important things to know about the Go Go Dynamo MKAL:
- It is a mystery knitting pattern, and a new part of the pattern will be released every Thursday in October
- The finished object will be a shawl
- Steven recommends yarn in two contrasting colors
- Total yarn amounts needed: 400g (200g per color)
- You need to buy the pattern separately from Wesknits, see: Go Go Dynamo: Westknits MKAL 2024 (Ravelry)
Neutral Autumn Colors
This is the perfect combo for those who prefer a warmer, neutral palette. Essence of Halloween is a warm white with a few orange and green speckles; Levitation Libation is a dark, warm brown.

Bright and Colorful
The colorfully speckled Firecrab shines here against the soft backdrop of Pebbles.

Moody Fall
Haunted Mansion is a silver grey with soft speckles of red, orange, and brown. Barrowland Ballroom is colorful yet moody, with tones of orange-brown, green, and beige
