You are really good at tutorial videos. It seriously feels like we are crocheting together, not through a phone screen. You do something that is lacking from ll the other videos I watch... You pull the piece out and look at it, and you even show us what to look for. That helps SO MUCH!!
Awesome pattern. So easy to follow. I did mine with a 4 ply merino wool from the Bendigo woollen mill and it turned out beautifully. Just took a tiny bit longer but still grew really fast. Thanks again for the pattern.
This is fabulous! Tried this out this weekend, so quick and pretty! Started Friday evening with scrap yarn, had a full shawl before supper on Saturday.
This pattern is great and how I became acquainted with your tutorials. I'm making it now and it looks beautiful ! I have been looking at the viral shawl pattern for quite a while but honestly I am a little frightened to try it. After watching your live stream video I think I'm going to "bite the bullet" and try it. If I'm successful I'm going to try the blanket tutorial too. You have so many beautiful patterns. I am a big fan of baby blankets and will be looking to donate them soon.
I love using crochet projects with my clients with anxiety as a way to help them feel calm and focused, and your videos have been such a help! Many of them have never crocheted, and you are so patient and clear in your tutorials. Many thanks!
+Talk Therapy Channel thank you very much, I'm deeply touched! I too have found crocheting to be a great form of therapy. It utilizes constant repetition and therefore an almost zen-like state can be achieved. Use of color and tactile senses, creative problem solving skills. Best of all, when you are finished you have a tangible object and a sense of accomplishment! 😉
I just finished this shawl and I loved making it and it turned out beautifully. I used Mandala yarn a light weight yarn the color I used was warlock . It’s the best of both worlds as far as I’m concerned, being super easy and gorgeous . I’ll be making more of these, thanks Fiber Spider!!
I enjoy watching your video tutorials. Please don't change a thing. I love the quirkiness as I am slightly strange myself. 🙂 I got this when you told us that it would make sense in a moment. I'm stash busting with this shawl. Thank you again for your videos.
I love what you have done with this. I haven’t done a shawl before, but I’m pretty experienced with crochet, but of course just not as much as yourself. The only thing I would say is I wish you were in a little bit slower in the beginning. I kept having to pause it. But what I love about you is that you don’t “talk down” to your audience if you know what I mean. there are other people who do that on TH-cam... they go TOO slowly and it’s quite annoying. Thanks again for your incredible creativity and spunk. I really love your designs and as a painter myself, now I feel like I’m expressing myself with yarn. This gave me the confidence I enough even though I’m not done yet to go on and do one of your more complicated shawls. Thanks again for all your work. 😎 Greetings from sunny Florida.
I loved this pattern so much I have made 2 so far.. One for my friend who got married.. Beautiful.. I have no idea how to show you the 2 shawls I made.. Thank you so much for all your videos. I am making the hooded cardigan now.. Love your story time as well thank you a million times...
Thank you!!!! I have been asked to do 6 - yes SIX shawls for bridesmaids in a wedding at the end of September and we are already in mid july! I work full time so i needed something really really simple that i could work up very quickly! This is it! I can dress it up with a sparkly yarn. I've done virus shawls and they are way too time consuming. Thanks again! :)
You're welcome! Sounds like it's coffee time, lol. If you have the free time you could have them all done in a week. Just remember that breathing is your friend and you will be alright, lol. Also I would be delighted to see your finished work, perhaps a photo of the bridesmaids donning your work. If you wouldn't mind sharing that would be delightful!
Love,love,love this pattern so easy to do and crochet's up so quickly. It would be nice to have a written pattern though that could be printed off. Thank you so much for sharing your work and time. :)
Hi FS, Thanks I love this pattern it’s my favorite. When I’m working on the shawl I called it my Fiber Spider Shawl. I have made so many and many more to make. Enjoy your day
Your voice is so soothing. I took the time to write out step by step what needs to be done. Now I am just waiting for my yarn to come in. I'll be using Red Heart Ombre in Deep Teal.
I love your videos. You have lots of patience which I do appreciate. I have a hard time reading patterns, which is nice and explain so well, it's a plus👍😊
Hi Craig! I needed a little break from working on my 3rd C2C join as you go blanket ( one of my favorite tutorial of yours) and decided to work on this shawl - I'm using RH hello Gorgeous 'Peacock' with a 5mm 'H' hook and it's looking SPLENDID! Thank you!😊
What I like about this pattern is the open lacy stitch which Is difficult to find in this top to. bottom type pattern. This way of working a shawl allows for some fun stripes and textures. Thank you for sharing.
I am a novice at crochet and i love this pattern im trying it for my very first shawl. After a few false starts i have a good start. Thanks sho much, your tutorials addre so good!!
I loved the backround but then I am a quilter so that might be why. lols great video. I want to really thank you for creating this shawl. I do prayer shawls for our church and living in a very warm area it is so difficult to come up with lightweight shawls this should do nicely. and it works up so quickly. thanks again linda
Hi, I'm just finishing off your Glorious Granny shawl for our new baby granddaughter Charlotte and I think this one will be my next project, I love the lady effect. Stay caffeinated and stay safe my Viber spider friend, I'm Janet by the way from middle England.
Love this pattern and it is perfect for our north Carolina weather but soooo wish you would write out a pattern . when I leave this for awhile as I tend to work on several projects at a time I always have to take the time to come back and rewatch your vidios. thanks so much for your vidieos.
More rows to show us. So we can finish our shawl We all appreciate when we can start and finish with you I go to them be cause sometimes I will give up if I am lost After four rows this one is open and different Good Job
Fiber Spider, I loved the pattern. I was ableto work on it at my crochet group and it was simple enough when I was gabbing with the Chix that I didn't get lost on the count. Thank you for the pattern! As for a suggestion for the future, would you consider doing some filet and other shawls not in the triangle, but with a boxed rectangle bottom edge? Sometimes sitting on that triangle edge it not comfortable and it pulls on the shoulder when you drape it.
Hi, Penny shared this on her channel. She made one with bright yellow colorways. Actually, she used Big Twist Relax Yarn Sunrise from JoAnn 's. Thank you.
I really enjoy your channel and you have me making things that I didn't think I could make as I am ne to crochet! Do you have a tutorial for a spiderweb shawl? I would really love to make one. Cheers!
Love the stitch. Would love to make a long shrug type cardigan; I guess basically a rectangle to fold in half and then make a border and sleeves. Does this sound like something you might do a tutorial of? You are a delight btw.
+Teresa Spector lol, thank you. Actually I have a vest I'm working on, along with the many other projects, tutorials, and narrations I'm also working on, whew! Lol
Hello love this pattern. Making it for the second time now. This is about the tenth tutorial of yours I have made. So many triangle shawls to choose from love it. Was wondering if you could do a rectangular shawl for a change.i am pretty new to your channel.
I am excited to start this. It's gorgeous, hopefully I will get to keep it for me. I usually end up giving my shawls away if my nieces like them. I went crazy buying every color of Caron Cakes, so now I just have to choose a spring color. It looks nice and airy, just wondering if it's not too heavy with the Caron Cakes? I use the Cakes for neck warmers and blankets. I just started following you, thank you. I really enjoy listening to your voice, you are a great teacher, very detailed in your explanation.
Hello 🤩 I've been having a play and trying to hybrid this shawl with the fishnet crescent shawl. I love the fishnet shawl but I find it very fiddly, I like projects where you go into chain spaces instead of stitches. Hope this makes sense. Any help would be appreciated. Keep up the good work 🙂 Caz x
Thank you so much Fiber...I love the way you teach making the crochet easy to follow ..specially for beginners like me. It's great to work with you!! Love it!!
I love the shawl but ran short of yarn. I made it with a caron cake and size I hook. Was my tension to tight or do I need to use a different size hook ? I added on to the one I made and still like the way it turned out. thanks for any suggestions .
+M Perkins everyone's tension is as unique as a thumbprint, and there is nothing wrong with being unique. You can always increase your hook size to accommodate size/gauge differences to an extent. Changing your tension is like all of a sudden having to become ambidextrous - it's possible but NO fun, lol. The beauty of this pattern is that finished size is relative to what you want, so ultimately do what is right for you. Whatever you do though - keep stitching! 😊
this is a really lovely shawl however,l only have number hooks..the hook your using looks big so im guessing 6mm or 6.5 mm .l.ll look it up..can you please use Canadian sizes as well ..thank you
Thank you, but if you made the shawl in just one day then you are quite awesome yourself! I hope you had fun making it and that your mother loves it 😊 Can't wait to see what you have done!
Thank you , at the moment I am crocheting the Virus Shawl and I was having a little bit of problems ,but what i do I just go back to where i don't understand in my computer.Just wanted to let you know my Lacy Shawl came out pretty.I love your videos and the way you explain along the way.This is my second shawl I made of your's I can hardly wait to start the Pineapple Shawl.Thank you.
+Nicole Owens good question! I always leave a fairly long tail because I err on the side of caution to give me plenty of length to sew in the end. Plus, I like to use the scraps in other projects.... which I will be showing in future tutorials (hint hint) lol
i love this pattern! i have some super pretty-fragile 4-ply yarn from cottonflowersyarns on etsy that i think will look SO GORGEOUS with this pattern. i can't wait to try it. also, i hope you are okay -- your hands seemed shaky in this video!
+heather griffin experimentation and thinking outside of the box helps us to grow - go for it! As for my hands, I'm sorry if it's distracting or difficult to get past - I think it's a combination of too much coffee, not eating enough, and the general excitement of doing another tutorial. I have a tendency to get a bit hyper and overtly chatty when I'm excited about my projects, lol.
my mom is such an odd width and height....she is a UK 14 across but only 5ft tall.. yeah i know BUT i'm stuck as it is a surprise gift for her ....can you please please please give me a rough length and width in inches i could do for her. She even has to have her clothes bought in waist size and has to have her legs taken up on her pants legs. she is a medium shoulder as well too make it more awkward HELLLLLLPPPPP xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
hello fiber spider, I started my triangle lace shawl last night, still working on it will probably finish it today, it's easy and coming alone beautifully LOVE it thank you♡
I hate turning chains. Anyway you could show us how to use a stitch marker because I would like to crochet this but turning chains are not my friends. And you seem very nice so please don't give me feedback that is not nice. I am only asking a question I know you don't have to This is a nice pattern Plus only two rows of repeat. My kind of project. Can you use cheaper yarn Too because this yarn is getting crazy expensive now . Stay being nice and don't change.
+Carolyn Baesler, first off remember rule number 1 - don't sweat the small stuff. Rule number 2 - everything is small stuff. 😊 Technically speaking, you can use any yarn for this project, I just personally like the color change as the piece grows. Get creative and be adventurous, lol. As for turning chains, I know only too well how beastly they can be! My first suggestion is to crochet your turning chains just a bit looser than your other stitches which will help when you have to stitch into them again on the return pass. As for stitch markers, I usually use a little scrap of yarn pulled through the stitch. However you can of course use a paper clip hooked into the stitch, a safety pin would be even better. There are locking stitch markers out there for sale, but I'm a frugal crafter and like to save where I can. I do hope this helps and that you keep stitching 😉
Okay I will try this yarn but I did use a piece of yarn for the turning chain and that does help. Thanks for all your help I made two of these now. Yeah for me and for your great video
Hi Carolyn. As a 50+ year crocheter I can honestly tell you I couldn't live without placing open-ended split stitch-markers (must be open-ended markers, not solid ring-type) in each and every turning chain I make. It's really well worth the trouble. Here's how: First, read your pattern row directions to determine which chain you need to place your stitch (or slip stitch, whatever) into when you get to the end of your NEXT row. Most of the time it will be the 3rd chain, even if you've been instructed to chain 4 (more later). Get to the instruction in your pattern where it tells you to chain 3, chain 4, etc. This can be before or after you turn, depending on the pattern directions. Now, start your chain...you'll see a some interlocking "V's" (Fiber is a master at showing us where and how many there are). Place your split marker under the 2 legs of the "V", most of the time it will be in the 3rd chain, or the 3rd "V"; this is where so many folks have trouble getting their hooks into the chain. Think of the marker as a "pre-placement" site for your hook. Go ahead and place your marker there, even if you've been instructed to chain 4 or more. Just place your marker and do one or more extra chains. Your marker will be right there in the 3rd chain when you get back to the end of that row. Then, instead of doing the wiggly-waggly into that 3rd chain, just slip your hook right into that chain ALONG with the existing marker. Once you're connected and your new stitch is made, you can slip the marker out of the chain to be reused in the next chain on the next row. I hope this hasn't been too confusing. If I knew how to post a TH-cam video, I'd do a very short tutorial. Good luck, and let me know how it goes. Be well. Andie PS. Here's where you can find the stitch markers I use: www.amazon.com/Lion-Brand-Yarn-400-5-3002-Markers/dp/B004BOZOZW/ref=sr_1_1?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1501509978&sr=1-1&keywords=lion+brand+stitch+markers
Carolyn Baesler, here is a tutorial to answer your request on using a stitch marker! (Fiber Spider, no disrespect to you is intended!) Also, bear in mind that you can find a video tutorial to just about anything that need how to do! Hope this helps you! th-cam.com/video/a9fbVxNjzkU/w-d-xo.html
Thanks. I enjoy the simplicity. I enjoy your patterns. I especially like the fact you get into the piece without all the unnecessary editorials.
Love your tutorials you take your time not racing through the steps . Thank you
I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed making this!! The person I gave it to absolutely loves it. Thank you so much!!!
This is the only shawl that I have finished, made big, and didn't frog a dozen times. It's so easy and quick! You never cease to amaze me,FS!
You are really good at tutorial videos. It seriously feels like we are crocheting together, not through a phone screen. You do something that is lacking from ll the other videos I watch... You pull the piece out and look at it, and you even show us what to look for. That helps SO MUCH!!

Awesome pattern. So easy to follow. I did mine with a 4 ply merino wool from the Bendigo woollen mill and it turned out beautifully. Just took a tiny bit longer but still grew really fast. Thanks again for the pattern.
It may not be “avant-garde” but it’s beautiful and easy to learn and that is priceless! Thank you!
Keep warm Keep Inspired and Keep Stitching! I love it!!! Your a great teacher, glad I ran across this video, will look for more too. Happy Holidays.
I had limited time and limited yarn to crochet a Christmas gift for my mom in law...this pattern is perfect..thank you
This is fabulous! Tried this out this weekend, so quick and pretty! Started Friday evening with scrap yarn, had a full shawl before supper on Saturday.
Exactly what I was looking for and your teaching is a joy to watch. Thank you!

That is a perfect way to describe it!

I love this pattern! I made myself a beanie and this shawl as a matched set with a beautiful mandala yarn in green/blue/white
I LOVE U LOVE LOVE ❤️ THE CROCHET GOD BLESS U
Congratulations. Great work!
I just finished this shawl and I loved making it and it turned out beautifully. I used Mandala yarn a light weight yarn the color I used was warlock . It’s the best of both worlds as far as I’m concerned, being super easy and gorgeous . I’ll be making more of these, thanks Fiber Spider!!
Did you use the whole skein?
I enjoy watching your video tutorials. Please don't change a thing. I love the quirkiness as I am slightly strange myself. 🙂 I got this when you told us that it would make sense in a moment. I'm stash busting with this shawl. Thank you again for your videos.
Really lovely pattern, thank you! This is the first shawl I've made that lies flat immediately and does not need blocking. Great design!
You have the nicest voice, very soothing.
cant believe I had over looked this tutorial I love it
I love what you have done with this. I haven’t done a shawl before, but I’m pretty experienced with crochet, but of course just not as much as yourself.

How do you make your double crochets look so small mine always come out big
Do you done a afghan or blanket using this pattern.
Do you have 2 rows of double crochet in a scarf?
very very nice.. thank u for your time
Cinnamon Howard you are so very welcome, and thank you! Stay tuned because I plan on posting another crocheted shawl tutorial soon!
Is there a way to make this a rectangle?
Fiber Spider, did you use the "I" hook for the Caron Cake shawl or a larger size?
I do not have a Caron cake yarn...what was the yardage you used for this shawl? Thank you for your time to teach us!
Laurie Digilio I have a Caron cake and it is 383 yards.
Gracias Fiber Spider me encanto!!!!
I love the shawl but ran short of yarn. I made it with a caron cake and size I hook. Was my tension to tight or do I need to use a different size hook ? I added on to the one I made and still like the way it turned out. thanks for any suggestions .

this is a really lovely shawl however,l only have number hooks..the hook your using looks big so im guessing 6mm or 6.5 mm .l.ll look it up..can you please use Canadian sizes as well ..thank you
So we repeat two rows. I am not sure. Oh thanks for your tips. They work
Love this pattern going to make it for my mom for Mothers Day. Is it beginner friendly?
Wendy Streeter It's a two row repeat, and I know you can do it (then again, I created the pattern so I'm biased, lol) Go for it! 😉
I made the shawl in one day will send u pics YOUR AWSOME
Thank you, but if you made the shawl in just one day then you are quite awesome yourself! I hope you had fun making it and that your mother loves it 😊 Can't wait to see what you have done!
Can I use a fine yarn for this shawl?
Can i put a border ..what type..i am about to complete.Thankyou
Where can I get the written pattern for the Lacy Shawl?
+Nelda Carranza I'm sorry but I don't have a written pattern, just the video.

not at all distracting to me - just made me tilt my head and go, 'wow i hope he's ok!"
This looks very similar to the Coraline Shawl that Bobwilson123 did.
👍
Need a written pattern to follow, please
👍❤
Love this pattern, so easy. Hard to watch with such a busy background though. Please try to think of that next time. Love your videos otherwise.
Pat Boyd thank you so much for the background suggestion, I didn't realize but totally see what you mean, will fix that in the future 😉
my mom is such an odd width and height....she is a UK 14 across but only 5ft tall.. yeah i know BUT i'm stuck as it is a surprise gift for her ....can you please please please give me a rough length and width in inches i could do for her. She even has to have her clothes bought in waist size and has to have her legs taken up on her pants legs. she is a medium shoulder as well too make it more awkward HELLLLLLPPPPP xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Love this pattern, but your background is very distracting
Thank you, and sorry. I've since corrected the problem with a solid background on my videos since.

I hate turning chains. Anyway you could show us how to use a stitch marker because I would like to crochet this but turning chains are not my friends. And you seem very nice so please don't give me feedback that is not nice. I am only asking a question I know you don't have to This is a nice pattern Plus only two rows of repeat. My kind of project. Can you use cheaper yarn Too because this yarn is getting crazy expensive now . Stay being nice and don't change.
+Carolyn Baesler, first off remember rule number 1 - don't sweat the small stuff. Rule number 2 - everything is small stuff. 😊 Technically speaking, you can use any yarn for this project, I just personally like the color change as the piece grows. Get creative and be adventurous, lol.
As for turning chains, I know only too well how beastly they can be! My first suggestion is to crochet your turning chains just a bit looser than your other stitches which will help when you have to stitch into them again on the return pass. As for stitch markers, I usually use a little scrap of yarn pulled through the stitch. However you can of course use a paper clip hooked into the stitch, a safety pin would be even better. There are locking stitch markers out there for sale, but I'm a frugal crafter and like to save where I can. I do hope this helps and that you keep stitching 😉
Okay I will try this yarn but I did use a piece of yarn for the turning chain and that does help. Thanks for all your help I made two of these now. Yeah for me and for your great video
Hi Carolyn. As a 50+ year crocheter I can honestly tell you I couldn't live without placing open-ended split stitch-markers (must be open-ended markers, not solid ring-type) in each and every turning chain I make. It's really well worth the trouble. Here's how: First, read your pattern row directions to determine which chain you need to place your stitch (or slip stitch, whatever) into when you get to the end of your NEXT row. Most of the time it will be the 3rd chain, even if you've been instructed to chain 4 (more later). Get to the instruction in your pattern where it tells you to chain 3, chain 4, etc. This can be before or after you turn, depending on the pattern directions. Now, start your chain...you'll see a some interlocking "V's" (Fiber is a master at showing us where and how many there are). Place your split marker under the 2 legs of the "V", most of the time it will be in the 3rd chain, or the 3rd "V"; this is where so many folks have trouble getting their hooks into the chain. Think of the marker as a "pre-placement" site for your hook. Go ahead and place your marker there, even if you've been instructed to chain 4 or more. Just place your marker and do one or more extra chains. Your marker will be right there in the 3rd chain when you get back to the end of that row. Then, instead of doing the wiggly-waggly into that 3rd chain, just slip your hook right into that chain ALONG with the existing marker. Once you're connected and your new stitch is made, you can slip the marker out of the chain to be reused in the next chain on the next row. I hope this hasn't been too confusing. If I knew how to post a TH-cam video, I'd do a very short tutorial. Good luck, and let me know how it goes. Be well. Andie PS. Here's where you can find the stitch markers I use: www.amazon.com/Lion-Brand-Yarn-400-5-3002-Markers/dp/B004BOZOZW/ref=sr_1_1?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1501509978&sr=1-1&keywords=lion+brand+stitch+markers
I also use the stitch markers, for first and last stitch of each row. Keeps my edges straight.
Carolyn Baesler, here is a tutorial to answer your request on using a stitch marker! (Fiber Spider, no disrespect to you is intended!) Also, bear in mind that you can find a video tutorial to just about anything that need how to do! Hope this helps you!
