Hello from Deep South Texas. Hope to meet you at Rhinebeck. I am participating in the MKAL.
How fun!! Thanks for sharing ❤️
Your shawl is so cool. This is my first MKAL and fall colors and mohair.
That’s so cool!! I love the camaraderie of Westknits MKAL ❤️
blue and yellow could look really good!!
Yes! ❤️
The dying highlighter color is sooo pretty, and I love the name lol
The name got me too!! ❤️
Your shawl is looking great. Not sure I could be so adventurous….but you certainly are an inspiration.
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️
Love to see your color choices and process - always so much fun. I'm flying solo too this weekend and will look out for you too! ❤❤❤
Sounds great!! I look forward to seeing you!! ❤️❤️❤️
Gorgeous shawl! So Steven West with your colors….its perfect. See you at Rhinebeck (I hope to catch you on the hill.T thanks for setting up a time to meet.)
Aww, thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️
Morning ~ I would absolutely love to purchase your neutrals combo spins that you showed. I’m not sure if you’re wanting to sell them but I figured I would ask just in case. I enjoy watching & learning from you & those neutrals are 100% my love!! Please consider… thank you!
I’ll be at Rhinebeck with my sisters and I hope to see you there!! ( this will be my second Rhinebeck & I’m so excited!! )
Kept watching & it sounds like you’re going to consider making your son some socks with the yarn…. If you change your mind & if you consider selling them… please consider me~ I’ll treasure them!
Oh that’s so cool!! You’re in for a treat!! ❤️
I’m not sure what I’ll do with it. Are you on Ravelry? I’m not against selling them and have before but I’d rather DM you.
That dirty gold color looks good next to the hot pink, where you have them laid out in the beginning of the video. I love that you’re modifying with your scraps. I live to do that. It looks good!
Thank you!! I’m not against adding it! We’ll see what happens! ❤️
Wish I could join you at Rhinebeck. Maybe another year. I'm also trying not to buy. Love your shawl- I think the colors are amazing. I got a Sprinkle Fibers set for the MKAL, almost decided not to do it but I'm very much liking his direction. Love the kitty footage too. All the best, Kimberly
Very cool!! I get that!! I was definitely nervous after last year. I like it so far too!! ❤️❤️❤️
I just watched another TH-camr who is knitting hers in a rainbow of colours too and is attempting to make a gradient with her contrast colours. Your and hers are both lovely. I have stash yarn perfect for the shawl, and I love how everyone's looks so far, but haven't cast on yet. I have too many things on my needles and shouldn't do it, but I'm so tempted. How long did it take you to do part one and part two? I'm wondering if a train ride and a wait for my brother to have 2 surgeries over 2 days, and a train ride home again would be enough time to make headway on it.
Very cool!! I’ll see if I can find it! Part one went pretty fast. A few hours spread over about 3 eves. Part two has been more complicated due to the brioche. I messed up and had to pick it back. I’ll finish tonight (Monday) and in plenty of time for the next clue! ❤️
@whiskyandwool I just checked back on my history, and it was RowRow and Kades.
@whiskyandwool thanks. Hopefully, I can catch up then.
Oh my goodness!! Those colors! I can’t believe how it all went together so beautifully. It reminds me of the Art Nouveau style. Kind of like a Tiffany lamp or stained glass. You are truly an artist. Wait till Steven sees this one. I also love the sweater you are wearing.
Love watching your go go dynamo and process! Bummed to miss RBK. Def VKL?
I think so!!❤️❤️❤️
I love the direction you've taken with your shawl!!! The green is going to be incredible.
Thank you so much! I think so, too!! ❤️
As always, love the city views. And, I'm guessing that the buildings are a mix of offices and condos/apartments. I'd love to hear your thoughts on sock knitting machines. Have you ever considered purchasing one? Possible topic for an upcoming video.
You mean the buildings over across the river? Yes, definitely a mix although I think more residential along the river. Businesses tend to be more central. Never considered a sock machine mostly because I live in a small place and don’t have room. I think they’re cool though!!
Hey Shanon, lovely podcast as usual. I get lots of color inspiration from your projects as well ❤. Looking forward to seeing you at Rhinbeck.
Yay, thank you!!😍❤️
I'll be at Rhinebeck Saturday also and will look for you! Wearing a Framed, assuming I finish it. These colorwork sleeves are a bit of a chore. Love your channel. ❤🎉
Thanks so much!! Oh, yes, color work in the round on small circumference 😮💨❤️
Spinning is magic! Your color control is really impressive too! Love the chain ply - wow!!! And the combo spin is amazing too. Looking forward to catching up at Rhinebeck❤
Thank you so much!! Yes, me, too!!❤
The new kitchen will be exciting! I love seeing you pop up in the feed. I feel similarly about Instagram. Stay well! -Kimberly
Yes! Thank you!! ❤❤❤
It is always a pleasure to spend time with you and I find you very creative with colors and yarn substitutions! I love seing the knitted results ❤! Looove the zoom in, it is really nice to see the details of colors and textures, I really enjoyed that !
Thank you so much!! I need to remember to do more of that! ❤❤❤
❤❤❤
😍❤
This was really helpful, thank you! You seem like a really sweet person 😊
Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much! ❤️❤️❤️
What color work sweater is that for?
Hi! I talked about it in the episode. It's Stowaway by Wool and Pine. There are more details in the description box.❤️
That book is fabulous, can u forward the info? Where did u find it?
Isn't it though?! ❤️❤️❤️ The title and author are in the description box. I ordered it from Amazon.
@@whiskyandwool thanks! Found it🙏
Love the yellow with the Spincycle.
Thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️
I am so excited I just ordered that Japanese book of colour combinations! Thank you! I also am going to knit this sweater this winter.😊
Wonderful! Hope you enjoy both!!❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Shannon, that was so interesting. I think I’ll put the book on my Christmas list!
That's a great idea!!😍❤️
Thanks for taking us along your color picking process for color work.
You are so welcome! ❤
I love Cast on with me but I also like the other format too. I enjoyed looking at the swatches and I’m glad you are doing both. I agree I also like to knit with DK but my most worn sweaters are always the fingering ones I actually did cast on a new project as I watched which was nice (though I should be working on what’s already on the needles )
Thank you!! That's the challenge, right? I'm really itching to cast on something else new, but resisting it. ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for an inspiring and interesting video showing your creative process. I have the Japanese book, but never used it - I will from now on😘
Thank you so much! It's a good tool for color combos we wouldn't necessarily think about! ❤❤❤
Loved this video, the Japanese colour combinations dictionary looks awesome 👍, Thank you for sharing your time, home and makes ❤💕
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much! ❤❤❤
I hope you have the time to continue with these different versions of your channel. I find going along with you in your process interesting and actually helpful. I like looking at the creative process from all kinds of different perspectives. I find that i grow more as an artist and stagnate/stall way less. I suppose i would get that from spending time with other artists in person too, but don't have that opportunity...so I'm super grateful for people who enjoy making content on TH-cam! 😉 thank you!
Thanks so much!! Yes, I plan to continue both series for the near future. I'm enjoying it!! ❤❤❤
Hi Shannon, this was so fun to watch/ listen to as I skirt our sheep’s fleeces! Thank you for sharing Sweetpea & Holly’s yarn. I love the Jill Draper colors you paired them with. I can’t wait to see your sweater knit up!! You had our story almost perfect- we bought our first sheep in 2016, moved to our farm in 2020 during the midst of the pandemic. The rest is history!
Glad you enjoyed it!!! Oh thank you for the update to your farm story! I’m so looking forward to knitting with your yarn!! ❤️❤️❤️
I have that book to reference in my graphic design job but I never thought to reference for knitting! But of course I should! 🤯
Yes!! I just ordered Volume 2! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Shannon for this episode! I find you followed a very interesting processto decide what to cast on and choosing yarn that you want to use as a starting point! I am right now trying to do the same. Working on tge Trouville sweater from Sophie Ochera but I am trying to make it work from 2 colours of Jamieson and Smith that I have enough of for the main colour. Had I been shopping, I probably would have chosen different MC. I had to rip back my yoke many times so far because I didn’t want to swatch for color combinations ( there are like 10 + different colours on the yoke). I finally decided decided to go for a rather safe palette: all warm fall colours. I still may have to rip back at some point but trying to minimize that. I find it difficult to get a good color combination when there are lots of colours being used. It is a fun challenge though! Love you and all your content ❤
I have that sweater queued! It's so adorable! I've got to get back to color work yoke at some point! They fit so nice ❤️ Sounds like you hit on a workable palette! Hope it goes smoothly!! ❤️❤️❤️
Frankly, I’m such a fan of your “cast on with me” 😘 I love to hear your thinking process. I’m ordering a Japanese color book. Thank you so much for sharing…
I'm glad you enjoyed this episode!!❤️❤️❤️
Oh what exciting combinations you ended up at! Both those sweaters will look stunning in those colours :)
Thank you!! And they'll be fun to wear!❤️❤️❤️
Always! This was so fun, Shannon. Thanks for knitting with us. -Kimberly
Thanks so much!! ❤️❤️❤️
Very inspiring Shannon! I have a similar Japanese book of colour combinations that I love but haven’t used that closely before but this may change. Loved seeing you work through and all the swatches - this is what I do too, even if I keep yarn attached and unravel once I’ve picked colours and gauge. People who moan about swatching don’t understand that seeing the yarn knit up is such an important step in achieving a garment that you love. I think you ended up with the perfect colours for each knit. And I hadn’t seen the Stowaway, just love it, thanks for showing it and love the black and white
Happy to spread the love for swatching!! It does really help, and beats having to unravel a full size project! I love the test knitters versions of Stowaway. They're so inspiring! ❤️❤️❤️
