Hello from Deep South Texas. Hope to meet you at Rhinebeck. I am participating in the MKAL.

Your shawl is so cool. This is my first MKAL and fall colors and mohair.

blue and yellow could look really good!!

The dying highlighter color is sooo pretty, and I love the name lol

Your shawl is looking great. Not sure I could be so adventurous….but you certainly are an inspiration.

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! ❤❤❤

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.)

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!

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!

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

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.

Love watching your go go dynamo and process! Bummed to miss RBK. Def VKL?

I love the direction you've taken with your shawl!!! The green is going to be incredible.

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.

Hey Shanon, lovely podcast as usual. I get lots of color inspiration from your projects as well ❤. Looking forward to seeing you at Rhinbeck.

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. ❤🎉

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❤

The new kitchen will be exciting! I love seeing you pop up in the feed. I feel similarly about Instagram. Stay well! -Kimberly

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 !

❤❤❤

This was really helpful, thank you! You seem like a really sweet person 😊

What color work sweater is that for?

That book is fabulous, can u forward the info? Where did u find it?

Love the yellow with the Spincycle.

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.😊

Thank you Shannon, that was so interesting. I think I’ll put the book on my Christmas list!

Thanks for taking us along your color picking process for color work.

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 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😘

Loved this video, the Japanese colour combinations dictionary looks awesome 👍, Thank you for sharing your time, home and makes ❤💕

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!

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!

I have that book to reference in my graphic design job but I never thought to reference for knitting! But of course I should! 🤯

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 ❤

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…

Oh what exciting combinations you ended up at! Both those sweaters will look stunning in those colours :)

Always! This was so fun, Shannon. Thanks for knitting with us. -Kimberly

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
