    I am in luuuuuv with you! I started knitting 60 years ago at the age of 12. Finally discovered some one who is all about the freedom and joy of using color, stitches, texture etc. serendepitiously! Fix as you knit, not always necessary to RIP and start over. This video refreshes my joy for knitting.

    I have been so intimidated by your patterns for so long (so many colors! So many new techniques! So much to mess up!!) and yesterday I finally got brave and purchased this one!

Can't wait to get started! Stephen, you are a joy. Can't wait to dive into this incredible project. Thanks in advance for your creativity and sparkle.

  • @Sunnydazeknits
    @Sunnydazeknits 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    First off, I love that bright neon yellow. It reminds me of my childhood and the splattered paint sunglasses I had and my Boy George sweatshirt w/glitter, that my grandma bought me. Whew! . Second, I'm not knitting this yet. But now I can't wait ! The tips are wonderful amd I've learned alot from watching. But before this shawl I have to knit your Painted Bricks shawl because I already have the yarn for that. ☺

  • @angelaevans8632
    @angelaevans8632 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Another stunning creation Stephen and with such clear instructions and demo’s you can’t fail. You take knitting into another realm. It becomes 3D and sculptural enhanced by the combination of your colour choices and stitch patterns. XAngela

I’m excited and now after this 1st clue, I’m having a hard time going to sleep so I can begin fresh in the morning!!!! Yes I did panic a little and got a wee bit of a headache 🤕... but it’s only because I’m tired and will have a hard time deciding on cc1 and cc3 - ready for the challenge

    @coyoteblue9605 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    For the icord cast on, you don't actually have to slip the stitches back to the left needle if you're using circulars! Just slide them down the cable until they're on the left needle! You'll see the working yarn ends up in the same place (farthest from the tip) as if you'd slipped the stitches back the regular way.

    Suggestion: if you are having difficulty picking up the stitches the method Mr. West is using, you can use a small crochet hook and pull the yarn through the legs of the iCord and pick the loop up with your needle.
