Magpie Mystery KAL

This was our Jan 2014 Mystery KAL! 

Magpie can be a scarf, a shawl OR a shrug... you choose!  Magpie is worked from the center out in two mirrored mitered triangles.  The triangles are then "built out" on each side to create the arms.  Of course Magpie can be worked without beads and it will still be stunning!

I am currently working on a new design that uses this construction, but is a bit simpler (and doesn't have beads!)... what?
