For many more years than I care to count I’ve struggled to manage knitting. I know HOW to do it, but I’ve never been ABLE to do it, as my fingers refused to cooperate. With this pattern, though, I think my fingers have got it.

@rollergirl55 3 жыл бұрын

Absolutely love your tutorials! Your voice is so easy to listen to. Is it copacetic to alternate the type of yarn used during the making of this shawl. For example, I began knitting with double yarns in an Aran wool, but realized that I would need more yarn. I decided to add different colours of wool, but was unable to purchase my original brand. I wanted to switch to an acrylic yarn with 2 strands (the gauge was the same for both wool and acrylic). I wanted to know if the knitting would drape the same way so it would look the same throughout the knitted shawl. I haven't switched colours as yet. I thought I would check with the "expert" before moving forward. Will you ever do patterns for the dog and bunny in knitting as well as the crochet versions you have done? I find I am "all thumbs" when I attempt to crochet. Thanks again, Fiber Spider, for all of your tutorial videos, comments, patterns, and for sharing with the cyber world, all of your creative talents. You are one in a million!

You’re a lot smarter than I am when it comes to incorporating stitches, could this be done in sc or HDc ? I don’t know how to knit but I may have to try this in crochet...... if I do, will try to let you know if it turns out ! This is beautiful work and I enjoy watching you knit or crochet !!

@minnie87679 3 жыл бұрын

this is perfect for a beginner to pi shawls like me, i'm already on my 4th increase row and loving every second of it thank you so so much fiber spider for showing us how to do this gorgeous shawl, I've seen another shawl that i like by someone else on KZfaq and their bind off is the one where you cast on an extra 5 then knit the first 4 then knit 2 together then turn the work around and knit the 5 again, so my question is this, would that be a good bind off for the half pi shawl?

@HaleThePanda 3 жыл бұрын

I'm not exactly sure what happened and dont know if it's because of the changes I've made in needle size and yarn weight and stitches, but my shawl isnt straightening out the farther I go along. Do you have any tips if you happen to see this by chance?

Great tutorial. I’m wondering why you didn’t use stitch markers with first and last three stitches. Similarly, do you have the pattern so one can begin this at a later time without needing to see the entire video again (not that I don’t enjoy listening to your soothing voice!). 🤣😂😅

I can’t wait to dig out some of my hand dyed yarn and get going on this. Seems like a perfect holiday gift and seems mindless enough to be easy to pursue at night when I’m too tired to concentrate in a focused way. What could be more perfect? (Thank you again for a great tutorial!)
