💚OMG I must now have that Basketweaver Shawl, Stephen💚Thank you for the great tutorial!

[@ileanaleah2545]

You are the king of shawls
Amazing work

[@KaringOne]

“Block it and rock it”. Love it 🥰

[@violachavez9280]

I truly enjoyed seeing this. I've never blocked my shawls because I thought it would be so hard. You made it seem so easy. Thanks again.

[@suejames3208]

Thankyou. A masterclass in using what's around. The conservatory sofa will work fine for me.😄

Every time I see you wearing the Pierre Pullover, I want to knit it. I need to get on that lol.

[@AntisocialAuntie]

Perfect timing! I am on my last ball of yarn with the Eyelet Burst Shawl - my very first shawl and first of your patterns. I am so happy I found you! Now I have a list that I want to make, including both shawls you put in this video. Lots of love from the Pacific Northwest 🧡

I Love This 😅 If My Shawl Has Detailed Lace Or A Detailed Border, I Go And Use Blocking Wires... I Am Also Lazy, But My Knits I Am A Little Obsessive, And That Trumps Any Laziness I'd Rather Be Committing. 😂

I love this pattern! Can’t wait until it comes out!

[@whatleighmakes9119]

This is so helpful, thank you! xx

[@viridiangreen8259]

Very helpful Stephen 💛

[@nicolelafontaine1720]

Nice blocking lesson !

[@prachihingorani1136]

Stephen, I like to make a swatch and test it in water for colour bleeding. For same reason I give a swatch to my clients too.

Hi Stephen - I love the woolly waffle shawl and plan to get the pattern when it comes out tomorrow. I also love the sea swell shawl. Which would you recommend a beginner tackle first? I’m definitely doing both - they’re so gorgeous! Love your work!

[@ileanaleah2545]

Great idea to block on your rug

[@ozi8483]

[@user-hl5wi1rv1b]

Thanks a lot,how i can found the paterns of the shawls from this video,thanjs in advance

[@kristiinalaine2750]

Must one do that after every wash? Or does it stay like that after washing it?
Love that you make it not so complicated..like blockning on the carpet! Perfect! ❤️❤️😻 Many regards from Sweden! 🇸🇪

[@StephenWest]

Ideally it's good to block shawls like this anytime after you soak it in water/wash it. This will help exaggerate the shape and points of the shawl.

[@ambersmith5650]

How did you do the border

[@pattigolden1]

Ok, you're tempting me to get in that cubby of the "to be blocked"....
I don't even know how many are in there.
What's your take on steam blocking??
It'll skip the soaking step. 🤔

[@dexterlockhart425]

So I’m having a hard time finding this pattern,is it part of some club ?

[@StephenWest]

This shawl comes out tomorrow! It's called the Woolly Waffle Shawl.
