I love this. And next Fall, my dog Boo 🐕 will love his new sweater. You’re such an inspiration to me, Stephen. I’m thankful 🥹 for finding you! ❤😊 Linda Lee from Tennessee 🎉
Dear Stephen! What an inspiration you are! I wanted to watch over and over to catch what you said about your designing adventures! Yes! Projects can "speak" to you! I remember the moment I fully realized I was a "master" at my craft... or, I'm obligated to say "passion". For us it IS a passion! My hope is your excitement and freedom with the passion will challenge others to let projects speak to them, not stay stuck on the pithy directions! I love you, my friend! And your pups... I need a pupper in my life again!😢
So thrilled to see the words "Great Dane" in the striped dog sweater pattern. I bought it immediately and that is what I'm making! Thank you for taking the time to include the big dogs too. Love these videos and all your patterns. Lucy, the Great Dane thanks you too.
I have a cattle dog (which, they are usually bulky, barrel-shaped dogs but mine has a deep chest and a itty bitty waist!) and she LOVES to "get pretty". When she sees her other mom and I put on scarves or bandanas on, she sits nicely and waits to get her own bandana put on. When I first learned to knit, I made her her first knit bandana and she really seemed to love it! I cannot wait to make her a pupknit sweater! I personally have a pretty minimalist, dark-colored style but I love bright colors and knitting with them is so fun, but I just know I won't gravitate to those knits in my wardrobe. So, I'm extra stoked to get to have fun with colors and "wacky" styles for my dog instead!!
Stephen, just love you and your pooches! Such cute sweaters. You are so enthusiastic and inspiring. Thank you for sharing your passion for knitting with us.
Stephens face is so wonderful and his energy is invigorating. I have been losing my knitting mojo and watching him today has inspired me again. I need to take the brioche workshop
Yes pockets on the dust land cardigan! I’m buying 3 pattens today, march socks, dustland, and the latest pup sweater! Your thought processes inspire me! And you make me smile! I loved when you asked, am I crazy? Yes, yes you are perfectly crazy and delightful! 💕🤭💕
Stephen, the only bad thing about your pup sweaters is that they're so beautiful they'll steal the attention away from our pups when out for a walk and meeting new people. Lol! Your designs and videos are soo beautiful and fun, I could spend the entire day with you. 🥰 The triangles in your new shawl made me think of pie. The "Life's A Slice of Pie Shawl," I could eat that up! 🤟💜✌️🧶
That was awesome .....you are such a breath of fresh air and your passion and love of the wooly things in life is so inspiring. Thank you for sharing your world with us.......love from Down Under xox
Stephen-- please keep up doing your Woolly World of Westknits -- I started listening to you as I knit and now I’m addicted-- I need to have you talking knitting while I knit. I love it so much that I keep going through from episode 1 to the newest one. More- More-More please!!!!!!! Love your KAL’s too!!!!! Thank you for all you do for us!!!!!
Your new modular shawl reminds me of the traditional outfit of a court jester! Brioche and Stitch are just, a huge cuteness overload!!! Love you Westie💛
Oh boy! Can’t wait to see the pup patterns. I’ll be giving it a try for our Daughters greyhound and her cat…who both do wear sweaters. 🤣👏 Christmas animal sweaters here we go! So much fun!
So many things to say! The Dustland Cardigan definitely NEEDS pockets or at the very least you can possibly post a tutorial on cutting in those pockets! I used to have a fear of socks and sweaters, I’ve since made both. Just finished a test knit cardigan and I’m currently actively working on a hat for my supervisor, socks for my sister and an Amigurumi Bull for my sisters friends grandson! As for the name of that beautiful triangular shawl, you should call it “The Triangular Tiled Modular Shawl” Have a wonderful day!
Love all your knits, the dogs are adorable 😍. Maybe a twist and turns dogsweater or a starflake one 😍😍. I have a chihuahua, she only wants to wear sweaters in the winter time. That means I have plenty of time to knit her one now 😂. Really like the brioche one and the bubble stitch. Happy knitting, Petra
Wow you are so amazing on how you come up with your patterns. One section at a time is a wonderful idea on how things come together. I would love to see the Dustland Pattern in a Scarf. You should make the Painting Honeycombs in a dog sweater. Keep up the great work that you do. I love watching your videos. Your awesome.
Thank you for saying that projects are put aside. I have a lot of sock WIPs put aside that wait for their time again. ☺🌺 Also I need to knit the painted honey comb socks ASAP! 😃🧦 Those look fantastic!
I love the dog sweaters and the modular shawl in progress! For a Miniature Schnauzer I made a dog sweater that had cables and hearts on it. I think your Basketweave pattern would look good as a dog sweater, too. Thank you for your creativity, enthusiasm, and extraordinary designs!
Listen to you, Steven. A year ago you were talking about "not being into" sock knitting. Now you are here recommending yarns that are "perfect" for knitting socks and you're an "expert"! Wow, what kind of "drink" are we having?
Never change! Your designs and ideas inspire us to think outside the box also I also “ blackmail” my dogs with treats to get them to do what I want them to do.
Love this episode! The shawl kinda reminds me of the terrazzo tiles you can find in fancier bathrooms. I’ll see if I have some time to knit a sweater for my cats. They’ll wear them for sure during our walks :)
I just love all the random ideas.... Don't have a dog & I'm sure my cats won't appreciate a sweater!! 😹😹😹 Love a Gansey design, so a dustland blanket would be perfect!! (Hmmmmmm, yes, scrappy dustland blankie!! It'd be reversible!! 😁) So many ideas, so little time!!!
I'm all in for the pup knits! I've only done your mystery shawls so I just want to use up those leftovers. My Chihuahua is 6 pounds and I knit her sweaters all the time. I'm very excited. Now I'm going to have to make us matching sets.
Triangulation! Balaclavable is my new favourite word. Lol! Great doggie sweater designs. My little Prim is excited- she is 6 pounds of Maltese X fluff with a longer body- custom knits have to happen. I think Prim would like a cable sweater. I am loving the sock patterns. My son’s Himalayan cats might like to wear sweaters after they are groomed and very chilly. 💕🧶🙃
I suggest Merry-go-round for your new shawl. I love your encouragement. I just finished fantastitch after feeling like I didnt have the skill to start and one of your videos just pushed me over the edge to just go for it and I am so happy and proud I did.
Fantastic episode, Stephen! Brioche and Stitch look so happy in their new sweaters, such lively colors and patterns. I think your pups enjoyed showing off their sweaters. I love your new yellow Painted Honeycomb socks and the yarn you described sounds perfect for that sock pattern. Of all the Dustland pieces you've designed I like your cardigan the best. The longer length is so classic and looks very comfortable. I just don't get the current craze for cropped sweaters because they tend to hit across the widest part of one's midsection. I did however see a quite beautiful cropped sweater crocheted and knitted by Jana of the UA-cam channel "Finnish Knitting Stories". Jana crocheted several granny squares in lovely colors and then joined them together with blush yarn into a cropped cardigan. The ribbed bottom, sleeve cuffs, and button band were all knitted in the same blush color.
We have been waiting for your pup sweaters! Yay! Lily @lilyludays and Henry @ohenrymulligan would love to also see some chevron pattern and some honeycomb patterns. Maybe some cute little color work, too? You make me smile, Stephen, and I feel just what you’re saying about knitting and your creative process and just your outlook on life. I just told my husband: Stephen "gets" me 🥰🤗 xo
Brioche and Stitch are so adorable, as well as the the dog sweaters! I did knit a cabled dog sweater for my greyhound granddogter a few years ago. I'm looking forward to using your patterns for my two chihuahua mix rescues and my late son's mini dachshunds that live with me now.
Just returned from first time in Amsterdam. Wonderful city and your shop was beautiful! Got some yarn colors for maybe honeycomb shawl or socks or any of your knits😊 I can’t decide as they are all beautiful.
As a knitter and a quilter I LOVE the patchwork modular shawls😊. There's SO much to look forward to. When I take a break from a project( because a new westknit came out) , I say it's relaxing until we play again. Love to you and the pups, y'all make my day❤❤
So excited for the petknits collection, brioche and stitch look fabulous in theirs! I think the new shawl is gorgeous and I thought maybe Helios, Travertine or Terrazza as it has the look of fancy Italian tiles. I’d love the dust land to have a version with pockets and a hood. All the dog sweaters you showed are gorgeous and why not add some more and puppify Aurora cabin, painting honeycombs, jigsaw puzzle and my first love the dotted rays! Can’t wait to see the pupwalk show when all our pooches are wearing their sweaters!
My cat likes to wear sweaters, and I am definitely making one for her. I have some yarn left overs from twist and turns, so maybe I will make matching sweater for her. But I never made sweater for myself or for cat, hopefully it is not difficult.
I love that new shawl you are working on, call it the circus wrap, and I quite like the bottom of the shawl with the triangles as they are right now in the video. Love the dog sweaters. Yes I have that weirdness where the colours are coming along without me choosing them. I love your videos you are brilliant and also funny. Oh yes dog pattern, I’d like the “Dotted Rays” patten for a dog sweater.
“Sunny Sails” is what I see. Might be memorable name for it.😊
I love this. And next Fall, my dog Boo 🐕 will love his new sweater. You’re such an inspiration to me, Stephen. I’m thankful 🥹 for finding you! ❤😊 Linda Lee from Tennessee 🎉
I am so in love with your new shawl design and the colors 😍. Thank you for podcasting!! You brighten my day love being inspired by you. ⭐️☀️😊

I think a Dustland pillow/cushion would be fun.
The pups are so stinking cute! Balaclavable! 😂 you are so inspiring and always make me feel so uplifted after watching ❤
So thrilled to see the words "Great Dane" in the striped dog sweater pattern. I bought it immediately and that is what I'm making! Thank you for taking the time to include the big dogs too. Love these videos and all your patterns. Lucy, the Great Dane thanks you too.
Big feet, big socks, big heart❣️. Thank you for all you do for us.
Yes! Pockets!!
I love watching you and how much you love knitting and yarn. Somedays I just love watching you to make me smile.

Stephen, just love you and your pooches! Such cute sweaters. You are so enthusiastic and inspiring. Thank you for sharing your passion for knitting with us.
Stitch and Brioche are practically perfect in their cuteness and in every way. OMG I can't even with the pup knits ❤
Love your style, Stephen. I don't knit dog sweaters, but I love your podcasting style! There should be more Stephens in this world! Much love xxx
LOVE LOVE LOVE the dog sweaters!!! Hoping you will eventually come out with a hard cover dog sweater book for my coffee table!
A pullover hoodie pattern would be amazing!
Stephens face is so wonderful and his energy is invigorating. I have been losing my knitting mojo and watching him today has inspired me again. I need to take the brioche workshop

The pup sweaters are great ❤ I would love the Painting Bricks puppified 🐕🦺🥢🧶❤️
Stephen, I love your enthusiasm for knitting and designing! The dog sweaters are adorable❤️👏👏👏👏👏
Wuaaauw the shawl catched my eye. 😍 love the dogsweaters to 😍😍🙋♀️
I am in awe of you! I can cast on and knit the garter stitch. Yes even do a yarn over. 😂 That's it. Maybe one day. You are wonderful. ❤
Your new modular shawl reminds me of the traditional outfit of a court jester!
Brioche and Stitch are just, a huge cuteness overload!!! Love you Westie💛

Brioche and Stitch love their dad so much! You can really see how they adore you. ❤
Wow you are so amazing on how you come up with your patterns. One section at a time is a wonderful idea on how things come together. I would love to see the Dustland Pattern in a Scarf. You should make the Painting Honeycombs in a dog sweater. Keep up the great work that you do. I love watching your videos. Your awesome.
"Where's the moment?" This one line was so light and deep at the same time. I don't know if you intended it that way, but love it.
A hooded scarf in Dustland pattern would be wonderful. Love the socks patterns too. You provide such inspiration.
I've only just found your channel and I loved this episode, your French Bulldogs are gorgeous dogs and obviously much loved.
Thank you for saying that projects are put aside. I have a lot of sock WIPs put aside that wait for their time again. ☺🌺 Also I need to knit the painted honey comb socks ASAP! 😃🧦 Those look fantastic!
These are great. It’s fascinating to see how you work and stay inspired. ❤😊
Stitch and Brioche are too adorable.

"A head sleeping bag"!!😂😅❤
I love the eye picture. Your dogs are so cute! Oh yeah, great knitting!
Never change! Your designs and ideas inspire us to think outside the box also
I also “ blackmail” my dogs with treats to get them to do what I want them to do.
Sailing - the yellow and brown are the sailboats and the white and blue are the clouds and sea. Beautiful!
Absolutely adorable!! Hello Stephen, Brioche and Stitch!!
So happy you included sizes for larger dogs!!!! Thank you
Your new shawl design reminds me of Pennants.😃my little Francy girl hates getting dressed , she never freezes, we live in Denmark.😉
I'd love to see a pup sweater with the painted honeycomb incorporated somehow 🤩🥰
I may knit a tiny one..My cat loves sweaters because he thinks it's going to let Lim outside he walks on a leash
Pockets!!! If the choices include pockets, always do a pockets ^_^. And YES to the color pop outline
Dustland! Diagonal scarf, mittens, fingerless mitts, purse/bag, jacket with shawl collar, pillows, table runner(?), vest! Circular shawl!
I am so excited for the pets knits! I’m going to have a fun summer! An entrelac dog sweater would be awesome!😎
Love this episode! The shawl kinda reminds me of the terrazzo tiles you can find in fancier bathrooms. I’ll see if I have some time to knit a sweater for my cats. They’ll wear them for sure during our walks :)
I just love all the random ideas....
Don't have a dog & I'm sure my cats won't appreciate a sweater!! 😹😹😹
Love a Gansey design, so a dustland blanket would be perfect!! (Hmmmmmm, yes, scrappy dustland blankie!! It'd be reversible!! 😁)
So many ideas, so little time!!!
I'm all in for the pup knits! I've only done your mystery shawls so I just want to use up those leftovers. My Chihuahua is 6 pounds and I knit her sweaters all the time. I'm very excited. Now I'm going to have to make us matching sets.
Just makes me completely relax and be happy to watch your videos
Love your creative process and energy. Your work is totally inspirational ❤
You’re an amazing knitter! I loveeee the sweater you’re wearing!😍
Thank you. You are very passionate. The projects are very individual.
Triangulation! Balaclavable is my new favourite word. Lol! Great doggie sweater designs. My little Prim is excited- she is 6 pounds of Maltese X fluff with a longer body- custom knits have to happen. I think Prim would like a cable sweater. I am loving the sock patterns. My son’s Himalayan cats might like to wear sweaters after they are groomed and very chilly. 💕🧶🙃
Yes yes yes to all the sweaters and ideas. Would also like some with ruffles.
Love, love, love ❤️ Thank you for the inspiration 😃
🎉 I love the sweater ideas. I have a Huge dog so I am gona need a lot of yarn for a lot of dog sweater… Bud he has to get one… ❤
I am in love with the dog sweaters! I'm already addicted to socks.
The next modular shawl colors are pleasing. love to see your works in progress.
I suggest Merry-go-round for your new shawl. I love your encouragement. I just finished fantastitch after feeling like I didnt have the skill to start and one of your videos just pushed me over the edge to just go for it and I am so happy and proud I did.
Thank you - this is the best news in a long time. Can't wait until tomorrow.
so enjoy listening to you. You are so inspiring. Thank you
Great, always enjoy your energy. Doggie sweater with a hoodie LOL ,,,
Hum. A sphinx cat sweater! You are such fun to watch
Fantastic episode, Stephen!
Brioche and Stitch look so happy in their new sweaters, such lively colors and patterns. I think your pups enjoyed showing off their sweaters.
I love your new yellow Painted Honeycomb socks and the yarn you described sounds perfect for that sock pattern.
Of all the Dustland pieces you've designed I like your cardigan the best. The longer length is so classic and looks very comfortable. I just don't get the current craze for cropped sweaters because they tend to hit across the widest part of one's midsection.

Jana crocheted several granny squares in lovely colors and then joined them together with blush yarn into a cropped cardigan. The ribbed bottom, sleeve cuffs, and button band were all knitted in the same blush color.
This 4 colour shawl pattern reminds me of little windmills, maybe that's a fitting name as you live in the Netherlands...
Keep knitting!
So darn cute those dog sweaters and I love Stitches hot pink gotta make one for my yorkie!
I knew when you got those pups they were going to be models and they were going to be famous just like daddy😂
I like the cable dog sweater idea. I have two dogs and I will be making some. Thanks for sharing!!!
OMG! They are adorable. Perfect for my pugs!
I would love that new shawl as a blanket. It’s beautiful.
We have been waiting for your pup sweaters! Yay! Lily @lilyludays and Henry @ohenrymulligan would love to also see some chevron pattern and some honeycomb patterns. Maybe some cute little color work, too? You make me smile, Stephen, and I feel just what you’re saying about knitting and your creative process and just your outlook on life.

Brilliant as Always Love you Stephen ❤
I want a puppy penguono! Also, your description of all of the different dog body types sent me ☠️ 😂
Brioche and Stitch are so adorable, as well as the the dog sweaters! I did knit a cabled dog sweater for my greyhound granddogter a few years ago. I'm looking forward to using your patterns for my two chihuahua mix rescues and my late son's mini dachshunds that live with me now.
Oh my God the dog sweaters!!! They are awesome!!!!
Beautiful dogs in beautiful sweaters. If you feel the urge to design a Painting Bricks dog sweater Nelly would be very, very, very happy.
Just returned from first time in Amsterdam. Wonderful city and your shop was beautiful! Got some yarn colors for maybe honeycomb shawl or socks or any of your knits😊 I can’t decide as they are all beautiful.
Ooh call it terrazzo kaleidoscope! Love that shawl
If I had a poochy to knit for I’d want the Dustland to match my Dustland. The texture look more sophisticated. 😊
Love the triangle piece- at least in the size it is reminds me of Kaleidoscope sunburst shawl. Love all the inspiration.
I love your process, projects, & videos…❤
Love the name PetKnits. How fun!!
As a knitter and a quilter I LOVE the patchwork modular shawls😊. There's SO much to look forward to. When I take a break from a project( because a new westknit came out) , I say it's relaxing until we play again. Love to you and the pups, y'all make my day❤❤
LOVE these and my pup def needs a collection of sweaters 😊 I’d love a vertices unite sweater 👍
So excited for the petknits collection, brioche and stitch look fabulous in theirs!
I think the new shawl is gorgeous and I thought maybe Helios, Travertine or Terrazza as it has the look of fancy Italian tiles.
I’d love the dust land to have a version with pockets and a hood.
All the dog sweaters you showed are gorgeous and why not add some more and puppify Aurora cabin, painting honeycombs, jigsaw puzzle and my first love the dotted rays!
Can’t wait to see the pupwalk show when all our pooches are wearing their sweaters!
My cat likes to wear sweaters, and I am definitely making one for her. I have some yarn left overs from twist and turns, so maybe I will make matching sweater for her. But I never made sweater for myself or for cat, hopefully it is not difficult.
Painting bricks dog sweater would be amazing!
I just love how creative you are.
OOOHH I love it I am so inspired all the time. I know when I am looking for needles what projects I need to finish to get the needles
I love that new shawl you are working on, call it the circus wrap, and I quite like the bottom of the shawl with the triangles as they are right now in the video. Love the dog sweaters. Yes I have that weirdness where the colours are coming along without me choosing them. I love your videos you are brilliant and also funny. Oh yes dog pattern, I’d like the “Dotted Rays” patten for a dog sweater.
Dog bone colorwork sweater would be adorable ❤🦮
The new shawl looks like "tumbling triangles" to me.
