I decided to use the dye-your-own laceweight I've had sitting in the stash for over a year but not to include beads since that would make things too complicated.
I cast on Friday after work and knit continuously until I finished the first clue Saturday evening (Spilly and I had fun emailing back and forth checking on each other's progress).
It was really nice to have this project to get me through the weekend spent resting on the couch. I knit the majority of it during a Bridget Jones marathon on Saturday.
Here are the pictures of the first clue:

This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever made. I love watching the pattern become clear as I knit it. It reminds me of a medieval tapestry. I started the second clue yesterday and have done 20 out of 50 rows. I'm trying to avoid seeing pictures of it until I am done my own because I don't want the surprise to be ruined. I will post pictures once I'm done.
P.S. The Coupling-at-Sea socks are done but I've been took sick to get some good pictures. I'll try to do that soon.

You people and your mystery stoles!
I can't wait to see your coupling socks... and hooray for your parents making their move! Hope you are fully recovered now, if not, soon!
Aw, I am sorry you are feeling so crappy! I will look forward to your mystery stole progress! I love the idea of that, but have way to much on my plate right now to attempt it myself, so I will be happy to live vicariously through you!
Glad you are feeling well enough to knit. I could never do a lace mystery, I have enough trouble when I can see the picture. How many clues are there, it is beautiful so far.
looking good! i'm well into Clue 2 now.
Poor Dee. That really sucks. I hope you feel better soon. At least you have your mystery shawl to give you woolly comfort.
I tried to follow the link to see what the heck a mystery stole was, and apparently I need to join before they tell me. I'm curious how it works!
And Yay for your parents being close! but BOO for you being sick :(
