I am a new male knitter and I enjoy watching your videos. I started knitting after a stroke. I found repeating the movement helpful but I also find that knitting is not easy. I would very much enjoy a beginners video. So much to learn.

I’m so glad you are making a series and it is so nice to meet Stitch. You have such a joyful positive persona and we need that positivity. Thank you so much. 🥰

Stitch gets more relaxed as you talk about relaxing knits🧶

Love love love everything , show the shop , show the studio , show everything , brilliant thanks for sharing xxxx

I’d love a tour of the shop please and some chat about how you got started and where you see it going maybe.

Let’s see/hear it all!! Your history to present would be great to learn. A modular project with lace, cables, stranded color work, and other Westknits craziness all in one would be an awesome shawl.

I came for you and stayed for STITCH!,,,😃😂🥰

YES... do the fringe... that's my style... NO WASTE... no mistakes.. only creative opportunities!!!

stitch has to be the most laid back pup ever. I wish my two tiny Yorkies were so calm. They are crazy, always chasing around having two speeds, super-speedy or asleep.

Hi. Love this new podcast. Stitch is so cute. I love Yr idea of mixing stranded knitting with texture/ garter/brioche, other Westknits techniques.

I LOVE the idea of a modular sample piece. All the different types of stitches knitted into blocks, so, stranded, brioche, cable, lace then brought together West knits style in a modular shawl or throw xxx

Omg…. A new baby!!!!! West knit pupperized!!!!! Yes!!!!!👏🏾. Yes also on the “things I wish I knew”

Yes, yes, yes!!!….doggie sweaters. I signed up for your Brioche Class so by the time your doggie collection starts, I’ll be ready for the one Stitch is wearing…woohoo!!!

This was like having coffee with a friend to catch up and it was relaxing and fun to watch. I have a retriever/border collie mix, lots of energy but more of a blanket to curl up on kind of dog, though in the winters here in Wyoming , he could use a colorful out for walks sweater. He about 40 pounds.

Stitch is sosososososo sweet. What a great addition to the west family. Really enjoyed your video. Cannot wait for the next one. Thank you. Cindy

Yessss to a dog sweater workshop! I have a Chihuahua and a Dachshund who love sweaters! Congrat.s on Stitch she's adorable.

Yes, please ! More episodes 🥰 and please put a pocket in the cardigan 🤩

Definitely more of these videos please, I loved it :)

I love how Stitch was sleeping in your arms

For my daughter’s pit bull. She is a sweetheart and has outgrown her sweater!

So happy that you’ve started this KZfaq series! Love everything that you mentioned for upcoming episodes and workshops and will definitely take the brioche workshop. I’ve been so intimidated by that stitch and based on your MKAL tech videos I’m sure I’ll be able to learn it. Looking forward to the next episode!

🧶 Loved the format of this video! Stitch is adorable 🥰 and yes to the Mash up and mixing textures, fading, and modular knitting 🧶

All the thumbs up to pupknits!!! My mini schnauzer definitely needs a sweater in her wardrobe!

Oh yes Stephen!! Doggie knits galore please! We have 2 chihuahuas and an Australian shepherd. The Australian shepherd isn’t pocket sized like the two girls but he would look so handsome in brioche. I also love that you are including your children in the videos! They are adorable 🥰

Omg - would love to have a pattern. I make dog sweaters for shelters so I make all sizes. Looking forward to the pattern. Love your shows and instructions.

Oh my goodness Stitch is a curie patootie! Yes please to dog sweaters and a workshop. Please consider larger sizes. We have a 110 pound mastiff lab mix who loves the custom sweater I knit him. He actually takes it out of his box when he wants it on. I had no luck in finding a pattern for larger sized dogs so I made one up as I went. It would be fabulous to have a well designed pattern.

loved listening about your projects and how you work your patterns. I have been a knitter for about 50 years and have always followed patterns to a tea. Then i discovered westknits and my internal knitter was twitching as i love love love colour, texture and the unique process of your patterns. To make items to suit yourself to change and play and experiment is truly marvelous i now incorporate this fun behavior in my other craft spinning, weaving and dying and it makes me happy. snuggles to brioche and stitch pets are a blessing and fill you with unconditional love.

I have four pups that all love sweaters, a Chihuahua, a Lab and two Great Danes! The Danes love clothing, especially since we live in northern New Hampshire where it sometimes gets to -30 F in the winter. So pup sweaters in multiple sizes would be AMAZING!! They deserve to look as fabulous as we do!

Stitch is adorable and quite the lady! I am so excited to hear of a Penquino workshop, and the Modular workshop. Thanks for the sneak peek at that workshop’s project. You mentioned incorporating different stitches in a modular project. I think that would look amazing! Really enjoyed watching this. I feel like I’ve missed you recently, so great to ‘catch-up’.

Pattern Idea: Stitch picks the next yarn, then Brioche picks one, then Stitch, then Brioche, and so on until the piece is finished!

My 6 pound chihuahua could probably wear the size you made for Ditching. She's adorable! I can't imagine life without my little guy. I love your videos. You are so amiable and seem very approachable. I love how you explain new techniques and point out how to correct mistakes. More please.

Favorite tips and beginner techniques is always great to.watch!

I honestly feel like I'm going to end up casting on all the Westknits sweaters this year. gone on a bit of a sweater knitting kick and I love me some Westknits patterns because of the regular changes that keep me on my toes either in colour or texture!

Hi Stephen: Love this episode, seeing Stitch, your WIP's, hearing your ideas and learning about the wool (especially when and how they are best used). I have lots of your patterns but never know what yarn is best to use for which project. I've signed up for your Brioche Workshop as I really enjoyed the "Textures Unite" which was the first time I was successful with the brioche stitch. You are an excellent teacher so keep up the workshops. I've done the Vertices Unite and looking forward to your Modular Knitting Workshop. If you could show part of your store/workplace each episode (for those of us who can't travel). Please keep up with your short tutorials as I've saved most of them on KZfaq but if you put them all in one place, that would be helpful. Would love to hear your story although you have touched on it in some videos. Love to hear your different options in your patterns (i.e. you can do this, or this, or this ...... ) as it sure helps someone like me who can't design worth beans. Your don't stress attitude puts things in such a positive light for me and I'm looking forward to more Episodes like this. It's a good way to get to know you and how you go through your designing journey for your projects. Love to hear the previews and tidbits and I'm a sucker for details. lol. Thank you for all you do.

Brilliant. Thank you for such an entertaining view of you and the pup and of course all the yarny stuff. More of EVERYTHING please.

Loved the video, and hearing about what’s coming up. I’ve admired your work for many years, but always thought it was beyond my ability. After taking the plunge with Shawlography, and loving it, I’m currently knitting my third Westknits design. :-) Would love to see more on pup shawl knitting. I have a 14 pound bichon/poodle mix and have knit sweaters for my boy, but he’d look so handsome in a Westknits design. Lastly, I’m lucky enough to be coming to Amsterdam this fall, and looking so forward to shopping at S&P’s in person, so I’d love to see a video store tour! Thanks for all you do, Stephen! You bring a lot of joy and beauty into the world .❤️

My knit worthy dog is my husband's service dog Cooper. He is a husky king Shepard mix so unfortunately no sweater for our house wolf...but my best friend has a Yorkie who is knit worthy too

I love to hear you create and brainstorm live, it is wonderful.

Really enjoyed this video. Especially liked hearing about BFL and the benefits of this yarn. I would love to hear more of your favourite things, such as yarns, and what you would suggest using them for (pros and cons). Thanks!

I would love love love a pet sweater knitting workshop!!! We have a Frenchie, Chihuahua, and guinea pig😆

Yes! More please! What about a vlog... a day in the life ... favourites places to go around Amsterdam (potential vacation spot)... favourite foods, drinks, etc., of course knitting and more knitting!

I have 4 yorkies children and I love them whole heartly , 3 girls and 1boy and I look for new things to knit them all the time.

I’m always curious as to what the reverse side of the knitting looks like…in shawls/scarfs. It can be part of my decision making process. I guess I really like reversible knitting….. Keep up with the good work. The podcast just got a thumbs up from me….

LOVE LOVE LOVE this episode! you and now your pups are such a joy. I'm so intimidated by starting a sweater and I want to knit one. What confuses me is how to measure for a particular pattern. As a woman, do I measure chest with or without a bra, padded or non padded, lol do I measure underarms or is it shoulder to underarms, arm length....how do I know which style sweater will fit best....

Stitch is so cute, and the brioche sweater is not only adorable, but very practical as it stretches every which way to fit. I have a small long hair chihuahua, about the size of Stitch, that is begging to have a colorful brioche sweater.

Yes!!! Pup knits. I have a 10 pound Yorkshire terrier and a 5 pound Yorkie. The super small one simply stopped growing and she’s always cold. THANK YOU!!!

i am soooo happy you got the pups. nothing better than woolly goodness and puppy belly. and in your case- lots of sweet snoring. love the Keith Haring wallpaper... i was fortunate enough to chat with him down in the NYC subway way way way back in 1982. we did not know then how big his artwork would become. so glad to see it now and then. yeah

Stitch is adorable. She is such a good sport with you wiggling her all around. I would love a puppy sweater for my Chihuahua/fox terrier mix.

We have a Pittie and a Chihuahua! The Pittie, Fiera weighs isn’t a “Tank” Pittie but has the more slender muscular at 46 pounds and Itsy, is a bigger Chihuahua at 14 lbs and is called a RatCa! We love our Dog knits and can’t wait for your Puparino Knits! Welcome to adorable Stitch❣️ Ctest pair of Frenchie’s with an amazingly fun Dad❣️

Oh yes please a series of pup patterns would be superb Stephen. I have a toy poodle - Riley - our little girl lives the life of Riley for sure. She weighs in a a whopping 3.3 kilos!! It would be such fun to knit her a sweater. Love this new series - Thnak you

Thanks Stephen for your infectious smile and all the fun new projects coming up. I enjoyed meeting Stitch, she is beautiful. I would love to participate in a pup sweater class. I have a Chihuahua/mix and she can always use additional warmth. Your current format was great and I look forward to more. Happy Knitting

My daughter has a rescue dog that has grown into a mixed hound breed called Mr Beau, as he is so handsome! I am going to knit him a sweater to open on Christmas Day so that he doesn't feel left out and I like the brioche design that Stitch is wearing.

Yes Doggie sweaters please, and marl cardigan, ohh just everything! Love the video and love stitch.

I LOVE having a peek inside your creative mind!

Mash-up workshop sounds great! Love learning new stitches and different ways of putting fabric together.

Love to hear you and Stitch sit and chat. 🥰I would like to learn more about modular knitting, different ways of picking up stiches to create different looks and joining the different parts together and how to make different sizes of Icords and to make it look nice

Thanks for doing this. Lovely to see you and catch up Stitch is adorable.

The idea of an amazing dog sweater pattern from you brightens soul. My husband is the only knit worthy human in my life aside from my fur kids. I have big boys, but big boys like nice things too. Standard Poodle and Goldendoodle. 🥰

Hi Stephen! I really enjoyed this Wooly World episode! I will definitely tune in to hear about whatever topic you decide to present next 😀 I have a mini dachshund (named Siggy) and have knit him 1 sweater (which he tolerates in our cold Ohio winters). Of course his long back is the most unique feature to which I have to adapt, but also his broad chest and short legs! Thank you for all you are making available to the knitting community through your patterns, and videos. You are a treasure!

Good title has lessons learned now you can know them to love you Stephen every time I look at those puppies I smile I laugh I love love love four-legged friends they're your besties I don't get as much joy looking out of a kid I can't stand them lol

Love to watch your updates on Brioche and Stitch they fill me with joy, and yes my baby boy dog child Jackson is a Staffordshire medium to large size as he has gained some weight in lockdowns, we are both trying to diet LOL, but a Brioche stretchy coat for him would be perfect 😍. As a workshop suggestion I have knit your Monsieur Plastique sweater and love this unusual construction, maybe a sweater construction class would be great for a variety of body types, I find all your patterns so interesting and learn new techniques all the time, thankyou so much Stephen 💜🌈💚

Great fun. I would love studio and shop tours. Also I find it really helpful and engaging when you show and talk about your patterns, helps me understand them and choose what I’d love to knit. You are inspiring. And love your pups!

Yes, enjoyed this episode and will enjoy many more. Doggie sweaters workshop would be great!!! YES for Q and A. Love your pups!!!

Omg! Stitch is super adorable!! I love the pupdates and yesss to the pup knit fashion 🤩😍

More of everything. I so love your videos. Workshops are wonderful. So much to learn!

This style of video is very inspirational and fun to see how much you love what you are doing! So keep on making them. Thanks much😊

I love the updates, behind the scenes, I like them all.

Oh Stephen this is long over do thanks so much for podcasting your a natural . Please keep it up you have so much to share, Thank you .

Loved this meandering meeting Stitch. So cute!

Stitch is heavenly. She looks like a real cuddler. I’d love to see a Day in the life of Stephen West - I’d love to know more about what it is like for an American living in Amsterdam. I’m also interested in your take on colorwork and, yes, dog and cat sweaters would be awesome.

I love the idea of the Mashup workshop. Love your designs and the full range from comfort knitting to adventurous!

Love the pup sweater!😍 She looks like a purl Stitch! Adorable! Congratulations on the new baby. I have mini poodle I'd knit that for. Thank you for all your inspiration. Blessings

I love all your videos, I'll watch whatever you put up, it's so relaxing.

I thought my dog was well dressed until I saw Brioche and Stitch in their custom garments. My little girl is 15 years old and a Maltese X Miniature Fox Terrier. I’ve been knitting jumpers for Miss Pippi Shortsox since she was a tiny puppy. She needs jumpers more than ever now that her coat is thinning and she’s had a Vet check to eliminate causes. I loved this video, I think you’ve persuaded me to make a Penguono for myself.

Stitch is absolutely precious

Would love a knitprovisation workshop for shawls. Like if you don’t fancy a particular section how you can vary? As for dog size I have a mini dachshund who never stopped stealing all the suri…

I like to see and hear your videos. „The KnittingSecrets I wish to have years ago " should be my favourite theme. 👋🖖

You have the most wonderful and fun way about you! Thank you for the sharing your pupdates!

You have a PUPPY - of course you need calming knits! I LOVE the idea of mash-up knitting!

Hi Stephen Peace and Love, It's Stephanie from Chicago ... my friends dog Champ who is a rescue pit mix loves to just open his mouth and close it over the yarn I'm working with and rest his head in my lap. My daughter's cat Cairo he loves the expensive stuff too. I threw acrylic at him and laid it out and he walked right passed it as if to say c'mon Grandma (rolling his eyes). Be well and safe. wavvvvviiinng

Also I love the Keith Haring wall.

Thank you, Stephen. You are a true inspiration.

Doggy patterns would be grand! I have a cavoodle and a cavalier King Charles spaniel. I love Stitch’s jacket 😀. In terms of content - the variety you suggested would be really entertaining so all of it please! Thank you for injecting a massive shot of originality, colour and creativity into fibrecrafting.

Really loved this video. You are always great. I loved all the tutorials I use the shawl design one all the time. You have given me the freedom to go wild with color and to wear multiple knits at one time. Thanks

Workshops on how to swatch for sweaters with a colorwork yolk or all over colorwork would be very helpful. Workshops on how to carry yarns through different types of knitting projects would be helpful. A knitted capsule wardrobe discussion for an elementary school child would be great that allows the knit wear to change in use as the child grows (leg warmers, socks, cardigans, sweaters, tunics, hats, wraps, mitts, etc.). Your new sweater designs are delightful!

I am constantly amazed by your creativity. It is kind of you to allow us into your mind's eye and explain the evolution of your designs. Waiting for the movie version: "Being Stephen West". 😉 (Chicago/Illinois misses you)

You're so adorable! And very talented! I'm so glad You Tube suggested you. You're puppies are so cutest! I've got a morkie and a pekechon. Love them to death! I love the sweater in the back! Thank you for being so wonderful!

So nice spending the afternoon with you! Keep up the fun!

Yes to the Mash UP workshop. AND the pet sweater workshop....I have two Chihuahua crosses.

Would love what's new in the shop, behind the scenes of the studio, your favorite spots in Amsterdam, pet knitting. Thanks for sharing! I am a better knitter because of your generous spirit and encouragement.

Loved the new wooly episode and look forward to seeing similar on a regular basis. I’m happy to see new designs and the process used to arrive there. Interesting yarns that work well with Westknits patterns are great. More pup stories and designs will always go down well. Thanks for taking the time to share more insights xox

Def love this update! So much fun to see the puppers and get an update on your patterns and plans for workshops. The shop updates would be fun too. I can't wait for the Penguono workshop.

Thank you for M1R~M1L on you tube 💐 just learning to knit ~ West-knits are the best 💐looking forward the the new shawl workshop💐

Stitch is a funny girl! The flop over of her head like I’m over this! Lol

Came for the dog, stayed for the knitting. Great job

Thank you for the lovely episode Stephen. I would absolutely LOVE❤️ a dog sweater workshop so that I can finally start knitting puppy sweaters for my darling chihuahua-can' t wait for your puppy sweater designs either🥰

i love the idea of a day-in-the-life style videos, or studio tours! but honestly, i'll watch anything you put out! loved getting to catch up with you!

Literally gasped out loud at the sneak peak of the riff on Vertices Unite! (Also: SHOP TOUR!!!)

Thank you for the video, I really enjoyed it 🙂 This modular workshop will be just what I need right now and the sample is super fun and beautiful. I would definitely love a puppy sweater workshop, and maybe something relating to lace would be super fun! watching Stitch lying so peacefully on your arm was very sweet, she is quite calm for her age! I hope she soons stop getting in your alpaca!

Loved your video! Yes please to a full shop tour of Stephen and Penelope's and the beautiful city of Amsterdam.
