I had never knitted much at all expect for a garter stitch scarf, and for some insane reason a shawl caught my eye which was described as for a beginner, well it had a section of lace that had me tearing my hair out , I had pulled it back at least 30 plus times, so much so that it was felting the wool just about lol, I had to start a new ball before I tried again, in my mind was that there had to be a way to save how far you needed to pull back to should you make a mistake or get lost in your pattern as I did, and low and behold you have it, thank you , thank you, 🙏 I have confidence to attempt this shawl now. Lol.

You are definitely my go to, when learning new techniques 🙋❣️🧶 Thank you 🙏

I do like your style of teaching and giving tips. This scarf is so... so...so beautiful! Love it.

You are amazing! I'm new to knitting and you answered so many of my questions. THANK YOU!!!

Gorgeous shawl

Personally I love knitting from a chart because I can see the pattern, and I can use the chart to check my work, rather than counting. And by the time I get to row 30 I've got the symbols memorized even if I don't try!

What a great tutorial! Gorgeus shawl but even more gorgeous explanations. Yes, I'm confident to try lace again and won't fail anymore ;) Many thanks.

😍😍😍😍realy like ur tutorial, very clear！very successful👍👍

you are freaking amazing! so helpful

what a great idea. I had never heard of a lifeline.

Loved the lifeline info thank you

Thank you! Great tutorial. But do you mean sciarpabella

Hi Stacy....first thank you for making your instructions so that I feel I can do almost anything you demo. Ok, I love doing small lace edgings on these shawl/scarfs. Can I put any edging /lace stitchon one of these sideways knits? Thanks

You are an amazing instructor and because of that, you've given me the confidence to try things that I never thought I could possibly do as a beginner knitter which is the level I've been on for 30 years! LOL...as a result, I recently completed your Fiona Sundress of all things and though there are a few little glitches I can live with, I can gift is as a gift with great pride and excitement as it is for my first granddaughter! I'm STILL in shock! I've probably looked at every instructor on youtube and you are by FAR my favorite and in my opinion, the BEST! And now I'll never forget you because of my little Fiona dress success! Thank you SO much for your generosity in sharing your EXTREME talent and I hope you're healing well from your recent health episode! Take care and thank you again.

Beautiful! Excellent job. I'm really grateful for the lace pattern. Actually I was looking for something just like this one, made with sport yarn, for a cardigan that I'm going to start. Just allow me a comment about Sharbella which in Italian is only part of the expression "beautiful scarf". The complete Italian words are "sciarpa bella" (where sciarpa means shawl and the letters scia are pronounced sha). Anyway I've subscribed to your channel, Thank you

Thank you 😊

so lovely

Thank you for all the great tutorials. Is their any way to purchase the sharbella shawl pattern. I have the yarn already. If I could purchase the pattern it would be great that I don’t have to buy more yarn that I don’t need.

Thank you for your easy instruction. This is my first attempt at lace and you made it possible. I ordered 2 skeins and am through 1 skein and unfortunately am not 1/2 way done. I always thought I was a tight knitter, guess not. I don’t know if I will be able to get a 3rd skein of the same die lot. If anyone is making this I would recommend getting 3 skeins to be safe.

You want to be sure when you're knitting any pattern that your gauge (stitches per inch) matches what is listed in the pattern. That way the yarn amounts listed will be correct, your size will be the same as the pattern, and the fabric drape will be the same.

Hi Stacie! You are so professional and informative on your videos. You are a classy teacher. I'm looking forward to starting this project!

If you're having a tension issue and you recognize when/why it is happening, just focus on those stitches every row, making sure they are a good tension before you move on to the next stitch. That attention will eventually become muscle memory.

I love your videos. I tried a lifeline the other day when working a more complicated lace pattern (complicated for me since I've only done 2 other using bulky yarn - quite different than DK or sport), and it worked great! Please excuse my ignorance, when you launder the scarf after wearing, do you need to reblock it? I just knit my two bulky weight lace projects and didn't block them (it's inexpensive, very low wool content) so I'm not there yet, but I'd like to try this one using Louet yarn and I'm curious about what happens after/with regular laundering of projects that need to be blocked. Thanks so much!

+krrobu - yes, wool knits always need to be set out flat to dry (blocked) after every washing. Luckily, wool doesn't need frequent washing...really only at the end of the wearing season, or if you spill something on it.

I'm so excited about this shawl! I'm still pretty new at knitting. I have a question, when you are done with your work, do you just pull out the lifelines? I look forward to your videos every week! ❤️

+Mega MindyLou - Yes, +MohnBlumenBlau has it right...the lifelines easily slide out when you're finished knitting. It's a good idea to remove them before you wash and block, just in case there might be any color transfer from the lifeline yarn when the shawl is wet.

Very nice design, thank you for your tutorial🌹Your help is very valuable! I wonder... if I want the shawl more width can I add more stitches in the stockinette section? And is it possible to do the shawl larger? Thank you! Graciela

Thank you for the great tutoriarls.m trying to knit but I can't.please if you show us pattern slowly and nicely than....

Help! I have the pattern and I've watched the video - but I'm confused - the lace patter part is different than the 3 sections - how do you get that part on the shawl? Or at what point do you do that part? I see that you cast on 30...and then section 1, 2 & 3...but then when do you do the lace part? Thank you!

Hello Satci I have followed your videos and made some lovely projects. This particular shawl I love and am trying to follow it buy I get confused as you are saying it is 16 row repeat but the chart shows 5 rows.

First of all I love your videos. You are the go-to person for advice. I need your advice. It turns out that my row guage is a little off. She says in the pattern to repeat 6 times more, which i did, It is not long enough. Do you have any advice? Do I need to do more than recommended. I only have 25 inches. This is the section with no increases.

@verypinkknits

You can work the repeat more times than six, provided you have enough yarn for it! You will also likely get more length during the blocking process.

I'm knitting the shawl and I get a curve where the increase/decrease are does that block out and is there a way I can minimize the curve.

+VeryPink Knits Thank you so much for your prompt reply! And you have some of the BEST teaching videos I've come across since I recently started knitting!

QUESTION: So, I'm a left-handed mirror knitter. I would consider myself an advanced beginner (I made the honeybear hoodie from your videos without much problem), but I'm confused on how to make something like this work for the left handed knitters. If I did it the way the pattern is written would it just be mirrored and come out fine (the lace on the right instead of the left like in the video) or is this a project that I would have to re-write to work "backwards". I already know that I have to read the charts different because I'm working the rows from the opposite ends. I've heard some people say that lefties shouldn't even attempt lace unless they can knit right-handed, so I'm very hesitant to enter that world. Thanks!

@verypinkknits

8 жыл бұрын

+careybarey06 - I think you should be able to work this without too much difficulty, since it's a flat piece of knitting. (Following patterns, in-the-round, mirror-style, can get more complicated.) You can knit the pattern as written, but yes - the lace will end up along the right edge instead of the left. And yes - read the chart in the opposite way from how I teach in the video - odd number (RS) rows from L to R. I think that should take care of it...honestly, it's been a while since I've helped a mirror knitter with patterns on a regular basis, so I hope I'm not out of practice! If there are any complications, you'll be able to see them within the first few rows.
