    I was sitting in my home alone, quite miserable, and while looking for some music on UA-cam this video popped up... And now I'm knitting vigorously the boneyard shawl, way much happier, all sad thoughts gone away... Thank you Stephen! 🥰

    I am just getting to the end of my second Boneyard shawl. The first one I knit earlier this year was my very first knitting project. I didn’t do the icord bind off on that one but I’m giving it a try this time around! Your videos are so helpful; you are a fantastic teacher.

    I came across this pattern via my daughter who just happens to live in CU. We did not know at the time that this pattern was born there. It knit up great with the yarn I had for another shawl pattern but decided I needed something different. The icord bind off takes forever but the result is fabulous. Your video was so thorough and I will forever hear you explaining M1L and M1R I my head as I knit them. So glad I have found another amazing teacher to refer to on my knitting journey.

  • @jeanneduckduck

    Stephen, yesterday morning I finished my first Boneyard Shawl and am proud of it. I started knitting it in 2018, so the pattern I began with was your original Boneyard Shawl pattern. My shawl was in hibernation for 4 years, so when I got back around to it this month your revised pattern was available. I used the I-cord bind off and it's perfect for this shawl.
    Yesterday afternoon I began my second Boneyard Shawl, in large part because I found this video so inspiring. Love the changes set forth in the new pattern: garter tab, three garter stitch edging, I-cord bind off, plus general explanations to help us along the journey.
    I love watching your videos, even if I'm not knitting the pattern at hand. Your attitude is always so positive and your kind warmth comes shining through. Thank you, Stephen.

    Stephen, your explanation is very clear; any beginner knitter now can knit this shawl. My thought was that it's called Boneyard shawl because it's like a shawl female workers at the boneyard wore, back in the Victorian time (hard and dirty work)

    This is a genuinely excellent video. I really appreciate that you had the pattern instructions at the bottom and highlighted what step you were on and how clear your explanations were. I love that you put the timestamps in your description! I'm a visual learner but I'm also a brand new knitter so it's sometimes difficult for me to follow tutorials that blend visual instructions with "check the rest of the pattern for the remaining rows." I keep trying to find 'full' tutorials, and this was exactly the kind of tutorial I was looking for! Thank you!! I'm absolutely going to knit this shawl.
