Marly Bird Garter Stitch Shawl Knit-along Week 1. This was one of my very first knit-alongs. I loved designing a shawl that could teach you so much about knitting then creating the videos to take you through that information step-by-step.
Of course, the KAL is done now, so you can work through the videos at your own pace to knit this garter stitch shawl. See the whole playlist here: • Marly Bird Knit-along ...

Thank You! Instead of showing off flashy advanced needle work skills (like so many instructors), you have taken the time and care to provide easy throughly understandable demonstrations . What a refreshing change not have to be shamed by another knitting instructor. I have subscribed and look forward to the next lesson!

Marly, Where were you 40 years ago when I was teaching myself how to knit??? As a child, it took me forever to read and understand the words and line drawings to knit. You show knitting to be so easy, as we all know it is once you get the motions learned.

Hi Marly, I bought a set of Interchangeable Needles from Goodwill. It has the words Susan Bates on them but no other identifying info. They look just like what you are using in this video. Can you help me identify what they are? I only have a 32" and a 16"cord, I believe a 20" or a 24" inch is something I should have?? I do not know what to search for or what might be compatible. Any help would be appreciated from anyone. Thank you

Hi Marly! I recently discovered your fantastic video series and just started KAL shawl. I am a very new knitter and your instructions are so clear that I felt comfortable trying this. However, I ran into a big problem and I'm not sure how to fix it or perhaps ignore and keep going. Just finished my color A on the garter stitch section and where I should have 51 stitches I have 53 :( I think I may have knitted row 1 twice. Is it possible to continue, just add two stitches to each of your steps or should I rip out? I am not sure if you even still follow up on this thread since the original post was last year but I thought I would take a chance on you or if someone else has an idea. Would be much appreciated! Thank you!

@MarlyBird 7 жыл бұрын

Ideally, it would be better to rip out that one row. BUT, I *think* you will be okay. If I remember correctly, you just need to have an odd number of stitches. So, without seeing a picture this is my best advice. Just so you know, the KAL FB Group is still open and you can join in and still ask questions about this KAL even though we are done with it ;-) Don't be shy, the members of the group are FANTASTIC!

@marylpn1 7 жыл бұрын

Thank you so much for replying ! I will check out the FB Group. I am learning so much from you. I am finding that learning how to knit at 62 is a slow process but I am enjoying the journey. Looking forward to watching more of your videos!

Hi! New knitter and learning via you :-) I am going to start this KAL tomorrow (at least do it in the order of the videos). I went to join the FB page but it is for socks....Am I going to the correct link (the one above)? Thank you for all the wonderful videos :-))
