    Thank you for making a "small sample" for beginner knitters like me to practice on. Your example takes us all the way through from beginning to end. That's INCREDIBLY helpful. I've been very frustrated trying to knit on my own; trying to learn fancy stitches, etc. Your video is a lifesaver. I've been thinking of making baby sweaters to practice on before trying to tackle adult sweaters. I came across this video and making a "mini" version of something before tackling the big version is EXACTLY what I needed! I'm so thankful I found you! So thankful you are making tutorials. ❤

      Hello Helen, I have cataracts so found it brilliant that she actually talked us through as well as showing clearly what she was doing. I'm on a waiting list to have the surgery on my eyes but you know what those lists are like these days. Good luck. Vera in Northern Ireland ❤

    Thank you so much for this really good tutorial! I used to knit before having a stroke. I have fairly good control of my hands again but am on a waiting list for cataract surgery so I am delighted that you explained so patiently what you were doing, as well as demonstrating each stitch. I truly believe that if I follow your video I will be able to make this beautiful shawl, having feared my knitting and crocheting hobby was no longer viable. God bless you!

    This is so beautiful and I will definitely make this shawl in the near future. Recently I bought 6 skeins each of two colors to make myself a sweater but I needed a pattern which uses the same amount of wool otherwise it would not be enough for my sweater. That is how I found you and your channel. This is the ideal pattern and I thank you so much for sharing your nice work. Have a nice day ˚‧。⋆🌻⋆。‧˚

    When you've done the first section once im not sure how you carry the yarn mc up the side when you're not using it

    • @helenkennedydesigns
      @helenkennedydesigns  3 місяці тому

      Do the same carrying technique, but instead of swapping the colors, just continue with MC. your CC should get trapped between the first and second stitch of every rs row. Hope that helps! Get back to me if it doesn't make sense!

    I know how to knit and have knitted a few items, but gravitate towards crocheting so I can donate throws or shawls. I have to say, I’ve been eyeing Arcade Fiber Works in Canada because of their gorgeous yarn, and this shawl may just be the kick in the pants to get me to order some of their yarn to make this. Thank you for sharing … I’m on my way to Ravelry so I have something to refer to.

    • @helenkennedydesigns
      @helenkennedydesigns  2 місяці тому

      I don't see why not. 420 yds should enough, and it sounds gorgeous! do you mean because you will hold it double as the malabrigo silkpaca is a lace weight? should work just fine.

    What is the purpose of not carrying on with the decreases on every row that has an increase? Is it to keep the shawl from forming a pronounced asymmetrical or “boomerang” shape?

    • @helenkennedydesigns
      @helenkennedydesigns  5 місяців тому

      It helps the shape (keeping it a bit deeper) but also keeps the pattern repeat very simple 12 rows. If you put in decreases then the repeat would be much longer. Hope that makes sense.
