That yarn is simply gorgeous!!! The sea and the sound of its waves calms me. The way the water is always moving is like life…. It is a continuous flow of beauty.
I love the peaceful calm feeling I get while walking along the edge of the water, feeling the warm sand & cooling water, along with the smell of salt & sound of the waves coming & going. All this reminds me of all your tutorials!!! Thanks for the wonderful tutorials & calming voice!!!

Again another beautiful shawl! One of my all time favorite things is to sit on the beach and just listen to the sounds. Waves on the beach , the laughter of children playing and the seagulls flying overhead. It's so relaxing for me. ❤
I love the sea....the movement of the waves is so relaxing and love the sound of it. It gives me a feeling of how vast the world is.
I love watching the movement of water. When I look out over the ocean, I see a symphony of movement. It has become one of my places
I recharge when life gets too draining. I am a math nerd and love Pi shawl. I haven’t done a crochet one and am definitely adding this to the queue. I am totally in love with the Grateful Fitter It All colorway. Have a fantabulous day.
I love the soothing sounds of the waves as they slide up & down on the sandy beach or the boom of surf beating on a rocky shore.
Love the fishnet look of this shawl with the beautiful edge finish ❤ and I absolutely love the ocean. The sound of the crashing waves brings me peace and much joy.
Every summer holiday I ever spent was at the seaside. The memories are as immense as the oceans themselves and involve all the senses. The smell and taste of salty air, the sounds of the waves and gulls, the feeling of sand both wet and dry and the ever changing colours of sky and sea 😊
Food for my soul with every recollection
The sound of the ocean and watching the waves as they drop on the sand is very calming to the soul. This lovely shawl is a fitting tribute to that.
The sea & it’s endless waves has been mesmerizing me since a very young age! My parents couldn’t get me out of the water on our seaside holidays , even now I can sit and watch the waves endlessly ❤
The sea is calming and healing, but can be fierce at times. I love all the new colors. I usually make gifts for everyone. This one I’m making for myself for a change. It’s beautiful and I love the color you used.
I love the sea / ocean: the warm sand giving way under foot, the wind, the seagulls calling overhead, the sound of the waves crashing, the smell of the ocean life, and the memories of the countless beach trips with family that have all gone. Janica did it again. What a stunning piece to complement that gorgeous yarn! 👏👏
I love the ocean, few years ago I moved closer to a sea and I very often go for a walk along the beach. It helps me to ground, wash off my anxieties, while i walk barefoot in the water. Just looking out to the vast ocean is so calming and the changing colours are mesmerising. So for me ocean means freedom, grounding, encouraging creativity, connectivity with the nature and all sea creatures...
I love the shawl, I am definitely making one. The new colour you are showing today is so beautiful too! Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻💙
I love the sea, the sound of the waves and the clean smell of the air. The cold Pacific ocean is only an 1-1/2 hours away, so while I cannot see it every day, I go when ever I need to refresh and reset myself. I love the look of this shawl and cannot wait to make it, it is going on my projects to do list.
Ahhh, the sea soothes my soul. I have lived by the sea all my life and cannot imagine living away from her majestic brilliance. I also Love Janica’s patterns and this one doesn’t disappoint. I will definitely be making this one. Hopefully with All good things. ❤
Ooh, those hideaway hues are gorgeous ❤ I love how changeable the sea is, from calm glassy water to crashing waves, always different. Some of my favourite memories through my life are related to the sea, from playing in the sand with my brothers as a child, or sea fishing as a younger woman with friends. Very special memories. Still connected to the sea, walking along the coastline is now my favourite way to get some fresh air and stretch my legs.😊
I have so many wonderful memories of the sea. We'd always go stay at the ocean on the north shore of Oahu when I was young. The smell of the water and the sound of the waves rushing in and out still makes me feel so calm and relaxed. I always loved the way the sun sparkled on the water and made our days there so magic.
The ocean is my calm space. Just watching the waves and the colors changing is so relaxing.
Hi Chandi. Beautiful pattern by Janica Carter. The sea has always had such special meaning for me. My husband would take me down to Cape Cod or Maine or Florida all the time. We’d go for anniversaries and getaways and with our family. He would take me around to all the specialty shops especially the local yarn shops and then we would always go to the sea. I love the National Seashore. It’s breathtaking and majestic. I find my peace there. Sadly he can’t take me ever again, but I will get there. Thank you for another beautiful pattern.❤
I always loved watching the waves crashing onto the shore and then retreating, and I love the sound they make. It feels rhythmic and calming, like knitting and crocheting. 🙂
I feel calm when I’m by the Sea or the Ocean. I enjoy the smell of the air and listening to the sounds of the waves…😊
Thank you Chandi…❤
I was introduced to the ocean at the ripe old age of 55 by my daughter as she was living in SF at the time. I was immediately drawn in and sat on the beach for hours just breathing. It is now my internal happy place anytime I need to unwind, regroup or just be calm.
Your All Good Things Fingering Yarn colors are gorgeous, and present so many possibilities!
I was fortunate to experience the Ocean standing with my Husband, on our Honeymoon in 1995, on Fort Walton Beach on the Florida Panhandle in April. The evening skies were soft to deeper pastel shades of cream to pinkish oranges, to blues and purples. The waves were low and steady moving in toward the shore. The temperature was in the low 70’s with a nice breeze in the air. It was like standing in a painting, looking out over the grand vista of the ocean, and feeling like I was part of it! God is so good. ♥️🙏🏻
You, Tim, and your staff are so good, as well! Thank you for all you do!
My family and I love going to the beach. I love taking walks along the shore and watching the waves come in and out. It's the perfect way to start a day.
I love the sound of the waves and the smell of the salt water. When I come home from the beach I smell like salt, sunshine and sunscreen and have the best most relaxed sleep ever!
I love the beautiful different shades of blue of the water of the sea and how it matches the blue sky. I enjoy sitting down and watch the waves come down.
Hi Chandi
The sea gives me the feeling of calmness with it’s majestic vastness especially during the morning or evening sunsets … so appreciate you and your amazing gift of your love of the craft of knitting & crocheting 🤗
Being at the beach is so calming. The sound of the waves, the movement of the water and the smell all combined relieves stress. 😊
When I visit the Oregon coast, I feel like I can breathe deeper, sleep better, and have way more energy! The ocean is so renewing for me! I would love that new collection of beautiful yarn! Thanks Chandi!
I am a lover of the water. Nothing like sitting on a beach with your knitting or crocheting and listening to the sound of the waves.
I love the sea!! The first I saw the sea the sound of the waves was so relaxing, I just sat down and enjoyed the sounds it made! I miss it so much!!❤❤
These yarns are exquisite. I’ve always been drawn to the sea for the sounds and the feeling of calm I achieve sitting there soaking it in.
Hi Chandi I have been in love with your videos and reminder text to love our selfs, the people around us and to take time to respect, and take in the world around us Thank You so much it has helped in the resent loss of my father and to remember to slow down and reflect. As for the ocean and all its wonders and beauty, I’m fortunate enough to live on the Oregon coast and have been drawn to the sounds and visual wonders since I was a child. I take drives to just see it and hear it calling to me with the soothing crashes and the ebb and flow of the surf and when fishing it the sway and rock is just so soothing.
So pretty! I love the open lacy look of this shawl. The sea reminds me of all the feelings of falling in love. My hubby and I met in Pensacola, FL, and the trips to the beach we had while we lived there were so fun, exciting, full of love. The wind, the moisture, the saltiness - all bring back so many memories - dates, expecting a baby, and then bringing baby to the beach. 🥰💕
The sea is such a beautiful gift. My favorite is visiting the shoreline listening to the waves ebb & flow. It’s so calming & healing. 💙
💚💙💜Lovely shawl, and the yarn is so beautiful. I live by the sea and it is so calming and healing to just sit and watch the waves and the sounds, smells, and colors of the sky and the water at different times of the year and day/night.
I love the serene peace the ocean brings and the sense of mystery of what was and what is to come
Thank you so much for this beautiful pattern 🙏 I used to live in Washington state and loved standing by the water and watching the sunset. The sea always made me feel such peace and tranquility no matter what was going on in my life. I'm grateful to be here today and looking forward to making this shawl 🌊🌅
I love how alive the sea and ocean is. With it's movements and all it's living organisms. From the tiniest crustaceans and plants to the largest mammals. It's amazing.
Chandi, you are a kindred spirit. Beauty and wonder at every step, even in the mundane and decay. As for the sea, it awes me and calms me and scares me and mesmerizes me. We just had Helene pass by our shore and our barrier islands and downtown were devastated by the surge of the sea. We are small by comparison and would do well to respect the natural force that makes up the majority of our planet and affects weather. So much awe.
I grew up on the Pacific Coast. There is nothing so soothing than the sound of the waves crashing against the sand and walls of the land.
Beautiful. Looks fairly easy! I love those colors. I used to crochet A LOT. I had to give it up after I had a stroke. But I think I am well enough to give it a try again. Who doesn’t love the ocean? I am excited!🤗
I grew up on the gulf coast and spent weekends on a boat. I have always loved the water with its calming effects
I’ve only been to the ocean once. I will never forget that experience. I got to share it with my husband and grandchildren. This shawl reminds me of the power of those waves. I was amazed, and humbled. Your beautiful yarn shows such strength and beauty all at once. A delicate balance, perfectly captured.
Beautiful shawl, it is amazing how the different colorways make totally different looking pieces.
My feelings about the sea is that I find it rejuvenating, a quick healing from the soothing sounds. I especially love how mysterious the sea can be. Oh my, getting lost in my thoughts.
Thanks again!
The sea flowing in and out is mesmerizing. It's so easy to relax and let it calm me.
The Ocean ……I live on the West Coast, and have most of my life. Twice I have moved inland, and twice I ran back home. Her awesome power. Her majesty. I NEED to be near the ocean. I can’t imagine ever living more than an hour and a half from her.
As always, think you for all of these gorgeous patterns you give us! Your yarn was the first hand-dyed yarn I bought; and remains my favorite. Thank you so much!
The colours of the sea, from the deep blues to the green turquoise give me absolute joy.
I love how the sea laps at my feet and the sound of the waves are so soothing.
The sea is very healing to me, when my son was little he was very sick and I lived by the sea. After I would put him to sleep I would listen to the crashing waves and remind myself that God is in charge and that He has the strength stronger than the sea. My son is 28 now and he surprised all the doctors who said he would not live to 5. God is our strength and the sea reminds me of Gods strength.
Good day! My mother was born on the island of enchantment and like mother like daughter I love the island vibes. Walking along a shore calms the soul in an almost spiritual way. Thank you for sharing and have a lovely weekend!
I love relaxing on the beach letting the sound of the waves lull all my cares away. I love this pattern and will be making this shawl as a gift. Your content has allowed me to really enhance my skills. Thank you!
Beautiful! The ocean gives me a feeling of peace and the sound is comforting.
Whether restless or calm, I enjoy watching the sea cap and roll to the shore. It gives me a peaceful feeling.
I love the sea it's beautiful and full of life. It's beautiful when it's calm and when it's angry. It restores my soul to watch the waves come in and caress the shore.

When I visit the ocean I get a refreshing sense of renewal and clarity. I take a deep breath in and the scent replenishes my soul ❤
Such a beautiful shawl, you get a totally different effect with the yarns, single colour or multi colour. The sounds of the waves crashing gives me calmness and respect for nature and reminds me how vast our earth is and how bountiful it is.
This shawl is delightful. I've been to Puget Sound and recall feeling mesmorized. Also. during a college study semester I enjoyed a rowboat trip on the Caribbean. Forty years later I still remember the still blue sky and water of God's creation. I'm still in AWE! The new yarn-oooh! Great teaching! Continued blessings!
Such a beautiful shawl! Love how it ripples like the waves of the water. I'm not close to a sea, but live near many lakes as I"m in southwest Ontario. The beach is my go to for restful, calming time at the end of a hectic week. There's nothing better than sitting and watching the waves roll in and hearing them crash against the shore.
I love your story of how you get inspired for your colourways! Have a wonderful weekend, Chandi, I'm off to the beach ❤
I've never been to the sea or an ocean, but one day, I'd like to. I love pictures and paintings of the surf on the sand. They're so peaceful!
You filled my heart with beauty today! Thank you for bringing beauty to the world. I was born in Seattle, grew up in the woods, and visited the mountains and all the different types of wa ter ways Washington has to offer. I love the ocean, as all life started in the salty waters (even the Minions)(heheheee), I feel at home on the Pacific shore as I envision the sun warms the water and it rises to the sky and then rains down, (I love the rain), and fills the rivers, lakes, and then flows back to the sea. Then I see my life flow like the journey of the raging river, calm as the sullen lakes and I understand that the journey never ends as the water flows back to the sea, back home.
This morning as I took my grand puppy outside I sang a song, the Corn Mother brought to the Navajo about beauty while I was think of what pattern you are presenting us today and your words, the shawl, the yarn, just you, showed beauty and I appreciate that. Thank you.
This version of "Walk In Beauty" is from Florence Loraine Bayes.
"Now I walk in beauty,
Beauty is before me, beauty is behind me, above and below, me".
Sorry this is so long, but I wanted you to know how happy you've made me when you talked about Seattle. Thank you!!! Love the shawl so much!!! Love and hugs !!!
The ebbing of the ocean is a calming influence on me. I often go to bed, listening to te sounds of the sea quietly lulling to sleep. It's hypnotic and powerful yet relaxing and freeing at the same time. I could watch and listen to it all day long!
I love being around the ocean! I love looking out at it while on a cruise ship! It is so relaxing and peaceful!❤
I’ve been looking for a half circle style crochet shawl this week - perfect timing! The hugeness of the sea gives me perspective. Regardless of what is happening in my life, the waves continue rolling, the sea goes to the horizon and tomorrow it will still be the same. It helps me realise that whatever is happening in my life will pass too if I continue to be steadfast and keep rolling. Thank you for your inspirational creations 🧶
I retired to Puget Sound from the Mid Atlantic almost 10 years ago and am lucky to live in a neighborhood on the water. I think Puget Sound is one of the most beautiful places in our amazing country. loving that this is inspired by this region.. the Sound is absolutely inspirational!
I love everything about the sea, both the salty freshness of the ocean and fresh waters of the Great Lakes. The sounds of the waves coming to shore remind me of the tranquility as well as the strength of nature.
The sea and ocean and lakes are all so peaceful. My husband and I love all of them and often try to get waterside when we get a chance for vacation.
Ahhh what a gorgeous pattern, yummm. Ahhh the vastness of the sea reminds me about how small I am and how playful I can also be. The waves, the sand, the ebb, the flow...I mean it's all pointing me back to slowness and allowing and play really.
I love the rhythm of the sea and the ability for that rhythm to transform sharp edges into smooth, clean softness.
💙💙💙
Being on the East coast I love watching the sun rise over the ocean. It’s quiet and so beautiful. What a lovely pattern🩵💜💙
The calm ocean with the sound of the waves coming into the shore bring me to that space of peace that I always love and enjoy
My family and I have gone on a few cruises. Being in the middle of the ocean looking out and listening to the sounds of the waves calms my mind and brings me peace.
Can't wait to make this. I grew up on Long island and have always lived near the water. It is beautiful and inspiring in every season and every kind of weather.❤
Nothing is more serene than looking at the waves of the ocean. Gorgeous design.
As a teenager I remember staying at a friend's cottage on Lake Erie and sound of the water was calming . I sleep peacefully. The shawl undulates just like the waves
Love it!
Wow! Thank you for making your videos easy to follow. I am self taught and having someone like you showing me how to make a beautiful shawl has made me really enjoy making them. Thank you for your videos and great tips. ❤❤
My favorite thing is listening to the sounds of the ocean while the breeze is around. The yarns are simply gorgeous
I was born close to the ocean, but have lived inland for most of my life. Every time I get back to be at the shore I feel peace, tranquility and at home. This shawl brings out those feelings. Thank you!!
Wow! What a beautiful shawl design and the inspiration behind it. It's just so poetic! I love the sea! I was born and still live by the Caribbean Sea. Actually, I live at a walking distance from the shore, if I want to do some cardio. 😂. The images you've shown of the sea waters caressing the coast from above are exactly how I feel whenever I go or just drive by. It's this soothing sensation even though I know how powerful the sea 🌊 really is. The sounds, the salty smell that the wind brings, the beauty of it all... the pelicans gliding silently looking for food... the whole experience feels like an embrace from earth. I am so blessed to have the opportunity to see the Caribbean every time I step out and drive to do my errands at any time, day or night. I guess it is the closest thing to live in paradise. 😊
That sounds so lovely! 💙
Your inspiration for yarn colors is the same as my photography. When asked for guidance, my #1 piece of advice is to slow down, look around, and find the beauty that others miss.
Beautiful! The sea is my absolute favorite place to be. Its completely therapeutic for me and I wish I could live by the ocean. The smells and sounds stay with you. I love Chihuly!! His work amazes me 😍
You always have the perfect intro!! The shawl is beautiful. It is simple but at the same time elegant!
Feeling of “CALM” is what I get when I walk on the sand or just at the boardwalk. I am grateful for living a few blocks from the ocean and walking at the end of my busy day gives me that sense of calmness!
Thank you for the pattern and your tutorial.
Love this! Nothing is better than the ocean and sunset! So beautiful and tranquil 🙂
Good morning Chandi! What a beautiful shawl. Thank you so much for the pattern today. I might just start mine today 👍💗. The sea is so amazing to be by and you can feel the power as each wave crashes before the shore and then rolls quietly onto the beach. I have video taped this while there so that I can take that power and the feelings it brings me home. It is mesmerizing and soothing. Love it! Have a wonderful day! 🌊💗💗
The ocean feels like freedom and oportunity. I love this pattern. Thank you.
The ocean is so calming. And brings good memories. This shawl looks like so much fun to make. I can't wait to get started.
I love the sea! Every summer we go to my husband's village for vacation, and me and the kids don't stop getting in and out of the water, swimming, diving, playing for hours and hours!! It's such a calming effect to watch the water reaching the shore in smaller or bigger waves, hearing the soft or loud sound of them and just dreaming of what you can do!
The sea makes me long for time with family. Many of our family vacations were at the ocean. The warmth of the sun and the sounds of the waves brings me right back.
I've always loved the ocean. I could listen to the waves all day long! But the animals in the ocean are what draw me to it more, I love seeing the dolphins swimming alongside the boat!
Such a lovely flowing design. So nice to see a beautiful crochet pattern. I prefer mountains ti the sea but I do love watching and listening to the waves come in and lap at the shore. The colors of the sea are inspiring to me. 🌊🌊
The ocean reminds me of how small I am in the bigger scheme of things, but makes me feel alive and so thankful to be alive as I listen and watch the waves😊 lovely pattern and the yarn is beautiful!
Having been born in an island, the ocean was always a way to unwind and relax. Listening to the waves and looking at the beauty of the ocean will melt away any tension and stress you may have.
Watching the waves on the shore brings total calm to my soul 🥰
This video was so beautiful and calming. The ocean reminds me that there is so much beauty in this world. We just have to stop for a second and realize it.
Beautiful yarn, gorgeous shawl! The sea is ever changing, sometimes relaxing for the view and sound, sometimes dramatic for a windy storm. Thanks for another pretty pattern!❤
As soon as I saw this pattern, I ran over to EFA and purchased my yarn for this shawl, Best Day Ever. I am so excited.
Even though the deep water of the ocean terrifies me, I love to watch the waves lap the sand on the beach. One of my favorite things to do here in Texas is camping on the beach. The sound of the waves at night is the best, most relaxing, drug free sleep remedy I've ever found.
Love the sound of crashing waves of the sea… soothing balm for the soul..
I love the sound of the sea. It's so calming. I sometimes will put headphones on to listen to a recording of wave sounds to fall asleep.
A fabulous spot to just BE…on the beach listening, smelling the salty air, feeling mesmerized by the rhythmic crashing of the waves
I love the salty smell, the rhythmic sound of the waves calmly coming in or crashing against the rocks, the sight of dolphins playing, the feeling of the wet sand disappearing from under my feet as the wave goes back out, the glorious sunsets over the water and so much more!
