    I love your new shawl, Barbara! I’m quite the impulse buyer of yarn, and I like that this can be knitted with a choice of yarn weights. Another home run, Barbara!

    Pretty and straightforward lace with nice flow.
    I like how the lace breaks up the variegated yarn and that the lace is mostly on the neck side and creates more interest but not distracting.

    Hi, Barbara. I am definitely a beginner at knitting, a frustrated one! I love crochet, so I’m learning to knit Continental style. Not comfortable with purling yet. This is a lovely shawl, and I have the perfect “impulse buy” yarn to make it with…. Just don’t have the skill. I’ll keep practicing. Thank you for the inspiration.

    I think the most genius part of this fabulous pattern is starting it off in the lace pattern. That stretches out the colors at a point where, in garter, they'd be more likely to pool because of the small # of stitches. You can see this at 6:27 in the video.

    This pattern is very interesting for me. I’m not an expert knitter but this doesn’t look like a basic shawl. My sister-in-law is a very small person and I’ve had a hard time finding a shawl (pattern) for her to wear in church and other forums where a shawl will take off the chill in the air. I would like to use really, really nice yarn because I love her a lot and she deserves the best. That said, I think the first “go” should be more conservatively chosen. She wears a size 0-2 for most of her clothes, so you can imagine trying to knit for her.
    But she can’t find a ready-to-wear shawl anywhere. She has therefore given up…then I saw your new pattern which I love. Not too complicated for me yet not too “simplistic” either. Hope I’m expressing myself correctly. I plan on using a sock yarn because I have more colors to choose from and any of them would be beautiful. I liked your note of using “silk” as part of the yarn composition due to obtaining a better drape.
    Do you think this will fit her as a casual “wrap” for church? She is soooo tiny. I could only dream. 😅
    Thanks for your response and any additional help, Sandy Fercho.

      The way this shawl is constructed it is worked side to side and can be made pretty much any size you want it to be. You could always transfer live stitches to waste yarn and let her try it on as it get bigger simply stopping when it is a size she likes.

    • @WatchBarbaraKnit
      @WatchBarbaraKnit  Рік тому +2

      LOL, thank you very much for your kind words and I am glad you like my videos. The "chicken" in yarn chicken is like playing "chicken" as in running at another person and seeing which person dodges first. People us it to imply a race against the end of yarn when you are uncertain if you have enough yardage to complete the project. Winning means you finish the project with at least a small amount of yarn to spare. Losing means that you run out of yarn before you run out of pattern.

      This is standard wording for knitting patterns and it is pretty literal. You repeat the stitches between the * and the ; however many times will fit until you are at the point where there are only three stitches left to knit. The last three stitches are k1, ssk.

      Curtains are really just big rectangles so you could pick out pretty much any lace pattern you like and plan your own. You would need to do a blocked gauge swatch of the lace pattern and then do the math from there.

Do have a question 🙋‍♀️ I was gifted 3 skeins of Malabrigo lace. 100% baby merino 470 yards in each skein. Being petite I prefer a shawl to be shorter/smaller. Would this yarn work for this lovely shawl? Thank you, Denise
