I love your new shawl, Barbara! I’m quite the impulse buyer of yarn, and I like that this can be knitted with a choice of yarn weights. Another home run, Barbara!
Pretty and straightforward lace with nice flow. I like how the lace breaks up the variegated yarn and that the lace is mostly on the neck side and creates more interest but not distracting.
Very pretty! Love that colorway also. I just finished my first crescent shawl. Played yarn chicken and I won! Had three inches left.... I'm so proud! Haha
This is fantastic!! I recently organized my yarn. I actually touched all my yarn. I organized it into weight and fiber types. This new pattern is exactly what I need to use up my impulse buys. I am so excited. Thank you❤️
Ms. Benson, thank you, my love for these lovely videos! You just don't know how much it swells my heart with DEEP APPRECIATION for the way you represent yourself!
I think the most genius part of this fabulous pattern is starting it off in the lace pattern. That stretches out the colors at a point where, in garter, they'd be more likely to pool because of the small # of stitches. You can see this at 6:27 in the video.
I love this shawl! What a great design to get the most out of that beautiful impulse buy!! And it's easy too! I'm definitely knitting this. Can't wait. Thank you Barbara.❤ ❤❤😊
Impulse Buy? Ja ... ich habe mir Deine Anleitung sofort gekauft weil ich die Idee, die Lace Kante am Hals zu tragen, einfach nur genial finde. Vielen Dank dafür 🤗😎
Just got the pattern. So excited. Can’t wait to start! My impulse buy yarn I’m using is a fingering weight, self striping yarn in jewel tone colors. I had no idea what to make with it until now! Thank you. ❤❤❤❤❤
Hi, Barbara. I am definitely a beginner at knitting, a frustrated one! I love crochet, so I’m learning to knit Continental style. Not comfortable with purling yet. This is a lovely shawl, and I have the perfect “impulse buy” yarn to make it with…. Just don’t have the skill. I’ll keep practicing. Thank you for the inspiration. 🌻Carola on Morro Bay
I already bought it!!! I Love shawls......This is going to be great for the spring and chilly air-conditioned room during the summer....I'm looking for yarn from my stash...I have an lot of "Impulse" yarn...LOL Thank you!!!
I decided no more lace as I seem to mess up often. However, this pattern may be one that I will tackle. I am almost finished with Curvette by Stephen West. A little encouragement please. Have lots of beautiful fingering weight yarn in various colors.
This pattern is very interesting for me. I’m not an expert knitter but this doesn’t look like a basic shawl. My sister-in-law is a very small person and I’ve had a hard time finding a shawl (pattern) for her to wear in church and other forums where a shawl will take off the chill in the air. I would like to use really, really nice yarn because I love her a lot and she deserves the best. That said, I think the first “go” should be more conservatively chosen. She wears a size 0-2 for most of her clothes, so you can imagine trying to knit for her. But she can’t find a ready-to-wear shawl anywhere. She has therefore given up…then I saw your new pattern which I love. Not too complicated for me yet not too “simplistic” either. Hope I’m expressing myself correctly. I plan on using a sock yarn because I have more colors to choose from and any of them would be beautiful. I liked your note of using “silk” as part of the yarn composition due to obtaining a better drape. Do you think this will fit her as a casual “wrap” for church? She is soooo tiny. I could only dream. 😅 Thanks for your response and any additional help, Sandy Fercho. 9890 sw Coral Tree Circle, Port St Lucie, Fl 34987 734-751-9048
The way this shawl is constructed it is worked side to side and can be made pretty much any size you want it to be. You could always transfer live stitches to waste yarn and let her try it on as it get bigger simply stopping when it is a size she likes.
I love it! I was thinking that was your shops colors, but I was thinking sea green and blues of water!😂 I have the perfect skein, one from a knit crate box years ago. Guess I better finish Argonata to free up those needles.😂
Just bought pattern I thought it was easy , l have been knitting for a year but this is really complicated 😂😊 I don’t understand the row7 what do you mean *to the last three sets,k1,ask? The same on the 9th row. Thank you very much
This is standard wording for knitting patterns and it is pretty literal. You repeat the stitches between the * and the ; however many times will fit until you are at the point where there are only three stitches left to knit. The last three stitches are k1, ssk.
Actually, at 1:32 in the video I specifically say that this is not a beginner pattern. I go on to explain why it falls into the easy and not beginner category.
@@WatchBarbaraKnit the count does not work out, however. My question: Do you stop in the middle of the * and ; ?? once there are three sts left? Please advise.
Soooo.. I'm am totally brand new to knitting. I've only knitted one thing before and I'm still working on it. I LOVE your style of teaching and even this brand newbie can follow. I must say though, my VERY FAVORITE thing about this post was discovering that you call your mannequin (sp?) your 'Silent Partner'.. lol lol I love it!! One more thing... May I ask what 'YARN CHICKEN' means? Thx! I subscribed!! :) :)
LOL, thank you very much for your kind words and I am glad you like my videos. The "chicken" in yarn chicken is like playing "chicken" as in running at another person and seeing which person dodges first. People us it to imply a race against the end of yarn when you are uncertain if you have enough yardage to complete the project. Winning means you finish the project with at least a small amount of yarn to spare. Losing means that you run out of yarn before you run out of pattern.
Hi Barbara, Fantastic thought having pattern adaptable to different yarn weights. Love the pattern with simple lace & garter stitches. Do have a question 🙋♀️ I was gifted 3 skeins of Malabrigo lace. 100% baby merino 470 yards in each skein. Being petite I prefer a shawl to be shorter/smaller. Would this yarn work for this lovely shawl? Thank you, Denise
If you’re not looking for a sizable shawl you might be able to get away with only one skein. Two at most. Malabrigo lace is an amazing yarn but super delicate so be careful with it.
@@WatchBarbaraKnit Thank you, Barbara. Appreciate the reply. Glad you told me about the lace being super delicate because I’ve have yet to to knit with it. Thinking to do a gauge swatch to see how it works…Enjoy your podcasts..Sincerely, Denise😊
I am afraid I don't have any special connections when it comes to getting yarn. You can go to the LITLG website and find a list of stockists that you could contact.
I noticed u love lace knit. I'm a beginner knitter but been watch YT knitting sites to learn. I have a pretty small window in my bedroom and I want to knit lace curtains. I just can't seem to find lace style and I want panels hanging together. I don't want diamond or feather/fan stitch. I would like to advance to the next step but can't seem to find what I desire. Any suggestions?
Curtains are really just big rectangles so you could pick out pretty much any lace pattern you like and plan your own. You would need to do a blocked gauge swatch of the lace pattern and then do the math from there.
I've got some handspun alpaca/wool 50/50. It's fingering/ sport with a bit of halo. 1 ply is brown, the other white --- so marled. Question: do you think the lace will show properly? I'm worried because of the slight halo. Silly me --- you'll tell me to swatch, won't you?
LOL, yeah if you really wanna know you have to swatch. Honestly tho, before I blocked the shawl I was sort of in love with how the lace looked as more of a texture. So you never know.
Well I ordered your pattern but apparently I missed something. I paid but haven't received pattern. It looks so pretty I'm anxious to get started. Thank you....I'm technically challenged apparently 😅
You should receive an email with a link that will allow you to download the pattern. It will not come as an attachment. Make sure to check your spam and promotions folders.
You may have already done this, but would you consider reviewing some of the less expensive yarns like Lion Brand, Pattons, etc. for those of us on tight budgets? I know shopping at big box stores is bad, but some of us have no choice. Also, heaven forbid I know, are there any good acrylics?
I would never say shopping at Joanne's or Michaels is bad. Everyone has their own level of budgeting for their crafting time. I will contemplate how to approach your request. My videos are primarily to help uplift other small businesses in the fiber industry but I totally get where you're coming from. Oh darn it, I might have to go to the craft store! LOL
@@WatchBarbaraKnit I actually went to Joanne’s today for some buttons. I haven’t been for years and it was pretty strange and sterile. Don’t mind me, stay true to your vision. I think sock knitting might be the key. Lots of knitting with a small amount of yarn.
I am so very sad that I’m just now seeing this video. I’ve had yarn for at least 10 years. I couldn’t figure out what to do with it. I’m halfway through a project now. And I don’t want to rip it out. Even though I like this project better the project I’m currently making is like my fifth start with the yarn. Your shawl is absolutely beautiful!
This is beautiful. I’m knew to knitting and would like to attempt this. How do I increase the size for a plus size body? I know you said use a longer cable… any tips?
The way this shawl is constructed you simply need more yarn and you just keep on knitting. It is knit from side to side. Going up to a larger yarn would also help make it bigger.
I love your new shawl, Barbara! I’m quite the impulse buyer of yarn, and I like that this can be knitted with a choice of yarn weights. Another home run, Barbara!
Thank you! I cannot wait to see it in different weights.
Pretty and straightforward lace with nice flow.
I like how the lace breaks up the variegated yarn and that the lace is mostly on the neck side and creates more interest but not distracting.
Thank you so much!
I have no words for this gorgeous workout done by you. I see your video late. But now I will try it as your guidance. Thank you so much.🙏💝💕🌷🌹💐💐💐💐

Shawls are my favorite, will be stash diving to to this one!!
I hope you enjoy it!
I simply ❤ you ducky got the cutest ducky I’ve ever seen.
LOL thank you!
I just saw this and I love the pattern! ❤❤❤ I’ll have to look at my supply and see if I have enough yarn
Considering you can make it whatever size you want I'm pretty sure you might LOL
I love this pattern and already have the perfect yarn in my stash for it.
Yay! I hope you have fun knitting it!
I think my girlfriends that work in offices will like the beautiful and no nonsense look of this shawl.
No nonsense is a great description.
It is a beautiful design and I love the colors!

Great idea the shawl. Love how it can be adapted to all weights of yarn. Perfect name!! 🧶💕🧶
