Sun Struck MCAL Wrap Up!
Sun Struck Boho Vest Crochet Pattern
The Sun Struck Mystery Create-A-Long has wrapped up, and the results are absolutely stunning! Once again our wonderful community did a splendid job joining forces and working together to create something beautiful. We had a smaller group than usual this time around, but we still had over 450 participants, and it was SUCH a joy to work alongside the group as usual. This event was run through The Ultimate Crafty Membership. Though change is hard, I’m super glad that we made the switch to hosting my events through this new platform. It really cut back on the amount of technical difficulty we came across, allowed us to add in some fun new elements (segment riddles and an awesome FAQ doc!) and helped us to create an even more awesome event than usual.
“Melody never ceases to amaze me. What a fun MCAL! Loved the riddles and every aspect of this one. I feel like each MCAL gets better and better! I absolutely loved this pattern!” ~ Domesticjenne on Ravelry
The final project was an elegant, lacy, boho vest featuring beautiful detail work on the upper back and around the bottom edges. This was a design that stretched and challenged me as a designer, and I’m really proud of the final outcome.
Sun Struck was inspired by that fresh, exciting feeling that blows in on the Spring wind. It’s a time of promise and possibility. This year I was able to experience it through fresh eyes once again as I watched Netherlee venture out of the house and into the spring weather. I designed this piece while sitting with her in the backyard and watching her explore. There’s something magical about that….and I’ve done all that I can to capture the essence of that magic and include it in this project.

In true Mystery Create-A-Long fashion, there were moments during this project that really challenged and stretched the participants. In fact I’m pretty sure a few of the knitters were ready to crawl through the computer and have it out with me, haha. Those who stuck with it were so happy they did, though, and I heard endless talk about how much everyone learned during this project. The videos that accompany the pattern are very detailed and they offer a really great chance to learn some new skills while creating a truly beautiful final project.

I love, love, love browsing through all of the final projects after these events! It’s a truly incredible experience for me to watch a design I’ve dreamed up come to life not only in my own hands, but through the hands of each of our group members. I’m so honored that I get to lead you in these adventures, and I’m so appreciative to have each of you along on the journey.
Make sure you check our the Ravelry project pages for the pattern so you can see how amazing it turns out in all the different sizes (this pattern includes all sizes Toddler through 3XL)!
