    I don’t know why I bother with anyone else's tutorials! Stephen shows what is important and what you can fudge! It will all work and look beautiful.

    Thanks for this great tutorial! The explicit directions about which strands are easiest to pick up - and the advice that it doesn’t matter which strands you use on the cast-on edge - are especially helpful.

    Stephen, Garter Tab is not my favorite so I always go to this YT bc you are so cool how you show us! Be well!

    You make it so easy and relaxed, Stephen. Feels in-person. You're the best.

    Loved this tutorial! I appreciate how it shows you not only how to pick up stitches, but how to actually apply this technique in order to create the garter tab. I'm a first time shawl knitter so the "pick up 3 stitches from side edge, pick up 3 sts from cast on edge" had me scratching my head and frogging a billion times. But this tutorial makes it super clear. Thank you! PS. I'm not knitting a Westknits shawl, but once I have my shawl knitting-chops down, I'm sure I will! 🙂

    I love to watch male knitters and crocheters. My Dad could do both. He taught me more than my mother did!!!❤❤❤

      Uhm ... Mary Cassett, Camille Claudel, Berthe Morisot, & don't forget Sofonisba Anguissola, Artemisia Gentileschi ... a small handful of "greatest hits". Also, numerous historical tapestries & fiberworks were constructed entirely by unknown female artisans. History is often written by whoever is in power but, artistic endeavour has a particular staying power. Art bides it's time until rediscovery.

    Thank you, Stephen, for your enthusiasm, clarity and the love you pour into your work……starting the Dustland Shawl this morning! Super excited. And then, my plan is tackle another from your gorgeous book, Painting Shawls, which I bought last summer. Thank you, thank you, thank you❤

    Thank you for simplifying this method. I have watched numerous videos and have gotten an in-person demo at a yarn shop but always felt insecure about the garter tab cast on. After watching this, it became crystal clear and almost obvious. You cut right to the heart of the matter and for that I thank you. I am now free to start on one of your shawls. 😉🧶

    • @StephenWest
      @StephenWest  4 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      So glad it helped! I use these stitch and row counts often. Some of my shawls have 5 or 7 stitches, but the concept of where you pick up is the same.

    I'm just starting the Bella Botanical shawl in KP Shadow lace yarn- that with size 3 metal needles and arthritic hands doesn't make for alot of fun when the yarn keeps wanting to fly off the needles 🙄, but I'm so glad I found your video as this is the cast on their calling for, it gets confusing when they want you to knit the sides! Thank you, you do beautiful work and I'm going to subscribe- greetings from NYC!! 🤗💐💜🌹💚
    I must say when I just clicked on your channel profile and saw your name, I said- "wait a minute- that's the guy who has all those insane shawls all over Ravelry!!- I'm definitely subscribing!! 😆😆😆

    Thank you SO much! I ripped it out four times, just couldn't get it right till i watched. Plus fun to see more of your shawls - you can't have too many! I love my Rising Dawn and will make many more.

    Love this cast on. Gives your work strength for that first row and is certainly easy. Thanks for showing this. No curling!

  • @LadySoran

    Great work in explaining and assuring us that we can use any yarn on the third turn/pick up. I was ripping my hair and yarn out on how to get it to look nice.

    Love it. I was knitting a shawl that didn’t use a garter tab start. It had this funky “V”. And I frogged it and went to you garter tab from your slumber shawl and changed it up. The garter tab can’t be beat. Ur the best West! Thanks for the quick tutorial.

    Thanks for the great tutorials, they really do help. I'm starting my 1st West shawl...Vulpix and needed to be sure about knitting the garter tab stitch. So happy you didn't do it at the speed of light, since some tutorials do travel at the speed of light. ;-)

    I prefer to slip the first stich as if to purl on the edges. How can I get the edge of the garter tab to match?

      Hola, la verdad es que vale la pena interiorizarse un poquito con el inglés, se abren perspectivas de miles de miles de millares de patrones y técnicas, y los trabajos de Stephen West son espectaculares que la verdad justifican el pequeño esfuerzo.... ¡Suerte!
