Because it's MKAL season, we decided to share some of our favorite Westknits hand knits!

Julia's Knit Eat haul includes yarn from Maison Corlène, Yarn by Simone and a set of copper Lykke needles bought at Lili comme tout. I plan to knit a Stries hat by Marie Régnier, from the book Neons & Neutrals by Aimée Gille.
Julia is knitting Seela by Jonna Hietala for the #seelakal in La Bien Aimée Merino Bouclé and Felix in Fluoro Morganite.
Emily and Julia are excited to cast on the Geogradient Mystery Knit Along by Stephen West.
From the past MKALs, Emily knit the Twists & Turns (2022), Shawlography (2021), Starflake (2019) and Building Blocks (2016).
Our favorite MKAL was the Marled Magic Shawl!
Julia also knit Texture Time out of yarn bought at the Edinburgh Yarn Festival in Walk Collection and Qing Fibre.
Our favorite shawl ever by Stephen West is Fantastitch, both knit in the La Bien Aimée bundles. And you can use your leftovers to knit the matching hat!
We also love Dotted Rays! Especially the Chevron border version.
Julia also knit the Melted Mirage using Qing Fibre.
Julia's most worn hand knit ever is the Briochevron cowl, also knit in Qing Fibre.
Julia's most fun project to knit was the Penguono.
Emily thinks Lava Lake is very underrated.
Finally, we both loved knitting the Parachutey top.
Emily is knitting the Woolly Waffle hat by Stephen West, a pair of vanilla socks in La Bien Aimée Merino Super Sock in Physalia and Fluoro Morganite. Julia likes to use the afterthought heel from Jodi Brown's Jasper Ridge sock pattern.
Julia has fallen in love with the Baseline cardigan by Susanne Sommer, sosuknits. Casting on very soon!
Emily is also ready to cast on Neon Snow by Nadia Crétin-Léchenne in La Bien Aimée Merino Sport in Vespa Graffiti and Winter.
Thank you for all your kind comments! It means the world to us...

    Bonjour Julia and Emily! A little behind in catching up with your latest podcast after watching your first one also - just loved sharing the time with you two as I knitted on a lacy cowl for a Christmas present - a free pattern Col Rivière by Solenn Couix-Loarer (it was just mentioned in the De Rerum Natura newsletter)... LOVE both of your Parachuteys - I have the pattern, so I need to give that a try!! ... Anyway, a pleasure to hear about your knitting adventures - look forward to the next one! Cheers! Judith 💜 🇨🇦

    The Stries hat! We know how I love that one ❤. It’s such a fun quick knit. 😳 wow that electric purple/blue skein is amazing!! Totally understand your losing steam on the twists and turns shawl. I abandoned it too, on a later clue though. Emily, yours is stunning!

    Oh my gosh! Back to back episodes...how wonderful to watch. I have not knit a Stephen West pattern but I love that Penguono of yours Julia so I might have to put that on my list and pick one of the shawls you showed...a smaller one for sure. I can't wait to see all your other knits...which ones you loved to knit and are favorites to wear. Big fan of Emily's colours and recently added a few hot barbie pink items to the wardrobe so who doesn't love barbie pink. See you both soon I hope.

    I lovelove to hear about the french knitting world in a language, I am more comfortable with - excuse my french 🙈 Also fallen into the rabbit hole of exploring all the la bien Aimee yarns and colors and patterns! I live in northern Germany, so going on a holiday to France is a favorite of mine. And visiting a french knitting festival would be the perfect holiday! please keep on sharing your advice of the events to join! Thank you, it’s so much fun to watch and knit with you! ❤ Frauke

    What a great episode seeing all your Westknits! I, too, count the Penguono as my all time favorite knit and you’ve given me the desire to get started on another one. My first was at in DK and worsted and quite heavy so I’m going to go the route you did using fingering with suri alpaca (not a fan of mohair). And if Marled Magic didn’t have brioche I’d do that one too. Could you just substitute another stitch pattern for the brioche? (I don’t have pattern yet so maybe he gives options for brioche substitutions) Can’t wait to see your MKAL start. I’m not jumping in so will be fun seeing everyone’s progress. His patterns are never boring!

    So happy to have watched your podcast, loved every minute, I’m a Glasgow girl living in Australia. I’m not sure if I will be doing the Stephen West MKAL either, I’m already to start but I’m going to follow it first and then decide, I’m still at part 3 from last years I just could not get into it either, we will see. ❤
