Magnify MKAL

Magnify was Spring 2014's Mystery KAL... and what fun it was!  It's knitters had no idea what they were making... and in the end it was an infinity cowl! Worked in 4 different sections, the first two sections are knit separately. Then the third section is worked while joining the first two sections... basically making a scarf, and the fourth section is worked on the other two ends of the first sections turning it into a loop.  You can see more photos of the process in my Ravelry group.

Thanks to Gale Zucker for the gorgeous photography!
