You are like a delightful ray of sunshine! I love watching your videos, because of the gentle joy that you exude. Thank you☺️
Oh, thank you! That's very kind of you to say!
I learned how to hold thread and make a granny square from my mom when I was 11 years old. This is a good memory. Thank you. Love and hugs.
You are so welcome!
You are a very good teacher like the way you don't go super fast. It makes easy for me to learn. Shawl is beautiful.
My favorite crochet memories aren't of my own creations. When I was little and my aunt was still alive she would take me to the craft store with her and I loved watching the yarn she chose turn into beautiful blankets. She passed away when I was 13 and I always regretted never asking her to teach me, so I taught myself as an adult when I missed her the most. Learning her craft gave me a way to connect with her and feel apart of her legacy. I wish I could have had memories of us crocheting together, but to this day going to the store and picking out yarn makes me think of her and smile.
🥰
When I was young my mother taught me how to crochet. I love to crochet..it is so relaxing. Up until a few months ago I always used worsted weight yarn, then I found your videos, and made a shawl using your Palometa pattern and lighter weight yarn. Now I only want to use lighter weight yarn. Your patterns are so beautiful and I will make this my next project.
I remember when my granny taught me to crochet and she started me out accidentally with just making the worlds longest chain. I was so confused how my chain could make a blanket that I almost cried. She laughed when she walked back in the room and saw my like eight foot chain, evidently she thought I would just stop after like fifty or so and come get her. We unraveled a lot of it and then moved on to single crochets.
haha. When I first tried to learn, probably around 8ish, I used to crochet a looooong chain, pull it out, then do another loooooong chain. Over and over. I was in my 20s before I used an Family Circle insert to teach myself actual stitches.
We did that in grade school! We had a little competition whose chain could fit across the room the most times. xD
I’ve watched this video twice and I absolutely love 💕 the wrap. 😎
I so adore your facial expressions. You have a special way about you that makes me smile, giggle or laugh. I love your yarn and I have tried most of your crochet patterns, thou I have yet to finish one. But that's ok I like to just try them and then I'm HOOKED
Aww, thank you 💜
Chandi, I like the bloopers at the end of the video, you crack me up lol. Thanks for sharing the new crochet shawl today.
My grandmother taught me how to crochet when I was 5 or 6. But my favorite moment is from only a few months ago. I made your Renata shawl for my niece. She travels a lot for work (and is back on planes again). She wears the shawl in the airport and on the plane because it can be chilly there. I'm just so happy she loves the shawl. She loves that it's light, but warm; large but easy to pack. I'm just thrilled she uses it.
“The hills are alive with the sounds of Chandi”. It’s not the dress... it’s all those muscles!😁
💪🏻😘 😂😂
You make crocheting look way too easy I love the work you do and I absolutely love most of the color screams you go with
Thank you!
I used to watch my grandmother crochet doilies. Mesmerizing!
Aloha Chandi💕 I’ll never forget those days when my mom would patiently teach me how to crochet when I was 5 years old; as soon as my older siblings leaves for school. It was her way to calm me down, I guess. I remember crying my heart out coz I don’t have anyone to play with 💕😆 I put my crochet hooks away when I lost her to colon cancer when I was 10 years old. Mom was 41 💕❤️
My favorite crochet memories involve my grandmother. She and Grandpa moved from Petersburg, Alaska to our house so she could receive cancer treatments at a larger hospital when I was a young teen. They chose to live in a travel trailer in our driveway to have their own "home". I remember the joy of zipping down the sidewalk to knock on her door and spend the afternoon chattering, laughing at her silly stories and learning how to cross stitch and crochet. That was my last year with her and the warmth of that time will always be a part of me!
So sorry for your loss at such a tender and important age. Are you crocheting now in her memory?
@@kaberle7 Thank you🌺For 3 years now, I suffer from severe anxiety and depression. My late Mom visited me in my dream. When I saw her, there was this feeling of peace and calm that I felt. As soon as I woke up from that dream, I knew that she visited me to remind me of what gave me peace and calmness; one of our favorite things to do..... crocheting. So, I took online classes to learn it again. So now, I'm hooked and slowly began to heal myself.
Yes, simple meditative projects are my favorites. As much as I love more complicated knits, I love the simple ones. I don’t crochet, but I have some of your sport luster yarn set aside for a knit shawl 🤩
My mother taught me to crochet a single crochet, back loop, ripple blanket when I was 9. I am more 61 and have been crocheting all of the time. I always have projects in the car and bags to go, and even emergency hooks in my purse.
OMG, I just about lose my mind every Friday since lockdown! 🤪🤪🤪 Gimme all of dat yarn!
😂😂😍😍
Hi, loveable one! You want it never ends? So you goonna try the next one for the next one!Thank you for this fine, very fine shawl! I don't like crocheting so much, but this one is wonderful!
Bless your, romantic heart 💛 I love foundation rows to start a project; it gets rid of that first row of the fiddliness of trying to get row 2 DC's in the chain stitches. It is really a beautiful pattern. Thank you very much ⭐
Simply gorgeous!
Beautiful!! Thanks for Sharing 💖!!
A lovely pattern. I find my crochet is very relaxing most of the time, but it always keeps my hands busy and I’m being productive!!! 🧶💕🧶
I love all of you patters! Your videos are so peaceful to watch. Please please please make more crochet videos especially tops and sweaters!
We are planning on it! We are going to have a crochet top in a few weeks! 😊
My mom showed me how to chain about when I was 10. Sitting on couch in our Dining Room/TV room with a very long chain draped over me to floor. Didn't learn anything else. Not sure if mom knew. Though she had been taught tatting from grandma. A million years later in ~2016 I decided to learn crochet to use as a resource in my pain coping toolbox. I asked around for help. No one knew. A few knitted. Got books out of library. First YT videos I watched were yours & Crochet Crowd. Bought cheap yarn to learn and mess up. I've made 6+ blankets since, got a basket with some WiP & UFO'S, list of RoundToIt & Someday projects, ok@ reading basic charts, & finally going to attempt 2 summer projects for self(sweater in a Crochet Along & throw using your yummy yarns). So crocheting has been a HUGE blessing in my life & others. TY for being part of it!!
First i really need to say how much i love to watch your videos. Especially the way you present the crocheted items! To see how the shawls flow makes it so much easier to decide if its something i want or not. And you are such a warm, beautiful person, it is a delight seeing you smile. (The bloopers at the end are always hilarious!) I love that you always have the patterns free for a while and after that they are incredible inexpensive! Always clear and easy to follow, so nice to work with them.
My favorite crochet memory is when i made my first complicated shawl. I always did easy pieces before so it was quite a step for me! Seeing how my work growed, that i was able to do it and how awesome it looked when i finally finished it gave me so much confidence in my crochet.
Chandi you could not have described crocheting any better!! It's my therapy, my stress reliever, what I love doing. It also makes me nostalgic sometimes of crocheting with my grandma & lots of time spent crocheting with my daughter.
Can't wait to make this pattern. TFS.
Omg the yarn meditation pic 😂😂😂 My favorite crochet memory was being taught by my neighbor who became my friend. She's passed now so I love that I have her to thank for that ❤
What a lovely memory!
Thanks so much for another wonderful video. I'm going over to get the pattern and add it to my library of beautiful shawls to make. I love watching your videos. Thanks so much for everything you do ❤️❤️
I absolutely love it! This will be my next project after one of your shawls, which came out so gorgeous. Wet blocking changes the shape and structure of the project, making soft and nice for California summer. I've been looking for yarn like that for a long time. Just amazing! Maye a bit pricy but it's worth it!
Love crocheting and love watching Ur videos. Thank U Chandi.
I have two memories (really three) that are just as precious. The first is that of my mom teaching me how to crochet at age four or five. She thought me how to make the chain stitch then the single crochet then the double crochet, half double, and triple crochet. The other memories are of when I showed my kids first my oldest two and then my youngest how to crochet the same way my mom did me. I hope that next year I can teach my grandson he will be five I think that is a good age to learn.
I am jealous, not really, but still. My grandson, just rolls his eyes at me, when I mention teaching him to crochet. I even showed him Mickey from Crochet Crowd and several other guys, even the young boy(forgot his name (Johnah?) He said, I am going to be a surgeon, why do I want to crochet? Huh? He might find, eventually, how calming, relaxing and meditative crocheting is. He is thrilled with my finished projects, and watching, but can’t get past the idea of it a girl thing. 😳 Teach them young. I am so glad for you. Enjoy!
I am rubbish with crochet charts, but luckily there are tutorials like yours! Thank you for another fab pattern. Your dress is gorgeous btw and you look amazing (as usual!).
I absolutely love your personality! Love your videos! You remind me so much of myself I just know we would be great friends if we knew each other lol.
So beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing. Love your channel.
I normally don’t crochet, I’m mainly a knitter, but this shawl is so BEAUTIFUL it’s making me want to whip out my hooks (wherever they are hiding). I just have one small hook in my notions box for fixing mistakes and provisional cast on. Very lovely shawl Chandi!! 🥰
Your simply amazing.... I just love your videos you're very calming very encouraging and completely sincere thank you for everything that you do
First, love the open stitch work of this shawl. Second, I was hoping, you would give instructions on the foundation double crocheting 🧶. Thanks. My GrandMa, Sarah, taught me to crochet. I was around five, and made a super long chain. I seem to remember, someone, Mom or an Aunt, helping me spiral it into something useful. I later learned to knit, but prefer crochet. I had chronic pain for years, which spontaneously healed about 2 years ago, and could not crochet,, but very short intervals. Since, Summer/Fall 2019, I have been working nonstop. My Mom was undergoing cancer treatment and I used it as a distraction. I found, if I focused, breathe, relax, and tune everything, I mean, everything, out, I could crochet with no pain. Since, Mom’s death in December 2019, I crochet everyday, sometimes all day. It has helped so much with connecting to my deceased relatives that were crafters, loved bright and warm colors, creating and sharing their items with love ones. I do appreciate textile art. Thank you, for sharing, and asking us to share with you. That is so special, especially since things have been so wacky of late. Blessings 🕊💕🕯😇🙏🏻💚🧶
Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with me. 💕💕💕
I love your videos and yarn, just ordered a lot of it a few days ago because it's the most beautiful I have ever seen. Thank you for your patterns, video tutorials and your sweet newsletters.

Good morning Chandi!! Memories about childhood are so wonderful! I do remember the first project I made was a knit scarf. With your tutorials I have to say they have helped me progress into new stuff. I am now working on a knit cardigan! This shawl is so beautiful! You have a blessed weekend! ❤💕
I hope you have a fabulous weekend as well! 💕
You are the best!! 💖
Beautiful wrap, thank you all so much!
Stunning as always!
FDC are SO much easier than FSC! Thank you Chandi! I'm making this using a 3 weight cotton color wheel with a 4mm hook. The yarn I'm using has a strand of metallic running through it, so I can't wait to see how this turns out! It's in shades of blue. :)
It is going to be lovely!
Ooooo, sounds lovely.💙💕

Eres lo MÁXIMO, tks, this proyect is so beutiful!!! From Mérida, Yucatán México.
Beautiful projects I just wished there was more of the yarns available to make them 🙂
Hi Chandi! Thank you for another beautiful pattern! I honestly can’t think of a favorite crochet experience at the moment. I’ll have to give it some thought. Or maybe when I finally was able to make a magic ring without looking at a video, lol! Or the foundation stitches finally kicked it! We will be driving through the Carolinas today so I’ll be waving as we go by! We will be more near the coast but I’ll be thinking of you both! Have a lovely weekend!!💗💗
Thea, those are lovely memories! I hope you have the most fabulous journey. I'm waving out my window right now! 💕💕💕 Have a great weekend!
Thank you Chandi! I waved right back from l-95 and said hi to you and Tim and your fantastic team!😍😍
Absolutely stunning! 😍❤️😍 Thank you so much! 🙏
💕💕
Beautiful shawl!
I love this pattern and your yarn. I’m trying to decide which of the colors to use!
Wow! I can't believe I found a RUclipsr who crochets like me! 😳
One memory is when I was around 16 and found a pattern for some hexagons. I made several and put them together. I don’t remember finishing it but just loved those hexagons.
Love it! 🥰
You are so pretty
Hi chandi....pls show us some patters on croner to corner crochet tops, dresses, shawls....
We are planning on it! 😊
How beautiful 💜😍
Helloooo !!! amei as dicas obrigada bjs

My neighbor Patricia (RIP) showed me to make granny square then, I bought my first book on the hook and I have hardly stopped since I was 23 when I started ^^. Have a beautiful week-end and thank you so much for your comments I love you my shiny friend

Hi chandi
Please we need the video or the pattern for this shawl
I love it 🥰
I died! Sooo gorgeous!
Thank you Chandi❤❤❤
🥰🥰
Hello from Romania !!!❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰
Thank you Jesus it’s Friday for school time with Chandigarh😻
Hello you beautiful lady. Many tks for all this precious tips you give us. About this shawl “Quietude”, I want to make it longer, therefore which rows do you recommend me to repeat? Many many tks, warm hugs.
I would repeat rows 5 and 6. Hope this helps!
Your shawls are always so beautiful Chandi. I have a question, may I ask where I can obtain those darning needles that you used please? Thank you.
Yes! I ordered them here: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N9SIMUE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Since the Vellum Fingering yarn is no longer available, could you suggest another yarn that would work with this beautiful pattern?
Any of our fingering-weight yarns would work, but Pearlescent Fingering, Sparkle Fingering, or Oasis Fingering would provide the same amount of softness and drape.
So beautiful 🤩 design, I really love the pullover you are wearing on minute 1:09 and was wondering if you have the pattern for it 🤭🤗😍
Thank you! We do! It is a modified version of this pattern here: www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/knit-your-first-sweater-course.html I made it a crop and turned the sleeves into bishop sleeves. 💕
@@ExpressionFiberArts thank you for the information and link, I don’t feel too comfortable knitting 🧶 I am afraid to trying and not getting the results Hahaha 🤣 would you recommend the pattern for a beginner?
@@almagjim Yes, it is perfect for a beginner, and we have video tutorials to guide you through the entire process. 😊
Thanks, I love ❤️ the pattern. 🥰. Also, is that blanket still a WIP 😱? That sounds like the longest WIP ever! Maybe a Fall CAL will help turning that WIP into a FO. Just a thought 😏
It would be the longest WIP ever! 😂😂 I gave up on the blanket a long time ago. 😂😂.
Hi Chandi,
I am currently working this pattern and have a dilemma. The pattern for block one states to repeat rows 5 & 6 five more times. Then, row 5 again.
However, the graph shows the repeat as being rows 4 and 5.
I was just starting row 18 when I caught it.
I was reading the pattern on my phone. I didn't even look for a graph which I always prefer and will look back at the written pattern, but didn't this time.
I got hooked on the pattern and realized the sun was coming up when I got to row 18.
Then realized there is discrepancy in the pattern.
I looked for a correction in the bottom somewhere but didn't find one so I thought I bring it to your attention.
If I am missing something will you please clarify it for me? Thank you so much.
I'm really excited and invested in the Quitude journey.
I may frog everything and start over at initial row five after I get some sleep. Lol
I had a great practice session at least.
I'm so sorry that you're struggling. There are errata for this pattern, which you can see if you scroll to the bottom of this webpage: www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/quietude.html
Do you have the most recent copy of the pattern? If not, go ahead and download it to see if that addresses your problem. If not, please email us at info@expressionfiberarts.com and we'll continue to help you out.
My mother taught me to crochet.
Chandi I have a question. When you complete a crocheted/knitted item you block it. It eventually has to be washed from wearing it so much. So, do you have to block it AGAIN after washing it OR is the first initial blocking sufficient? I have NEVER blocked anything I have crocheted & I have NEVER completed a knitted item I've tried to make 😂 Your yarn is SO beautiful. I received my Vellum kit the other day and can't wait for the CAL starting in July! I'm SO excited🤗🤗
😍😍 I'm so glad you are joining our CAL, Deirdre! So, It really depends on if I re-block it after washing it. But, to be honest, I am usually pretty lazy and I just wash it and lay it out to air dry. 💕💕💕
@@ExpressionFiberArts Ahh ok. Thank you
This shawl is just wow! Btw that sweater is also super cute! Is there a pattern for it as well?
Thank you! Yes, this is our Creery sweater found here: www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/knit-your-first-sweater-course.html I modified it a little bit by making it a crop and doing bishop sleeves.
Thank you!🥰
I love this shawl and I started to crochet it yesterday. (sorry my English I am from Austria) As you mentioned I read the written pattern and the chart.
And I have one question: In the written pattern there are row 4 - 5 - 6 - (5 and 6 its to rep. five more times)..... In the chart there is row 4 - 5, but no row 6. And it says, that row 4 and 5 is to repeat. Sorry to bother you, but I really cannot figure out what is the right pattern :( Please can you help me. Thank you !
It is not a bother at all! I would love to help you! Please write us here: www.expressionfiberarts.com/contact-us/ and we will help you the best we can. Thanks!
Another beautiful shawl! Love this! But I am still having trouble knowing when I need to alternate skeins when using the same color. So, on this shawl would I need to alternate skeins? And if so, then I would need to buy 2 of each color instead of just one? I must be over thinking this. Thanks.
That’s a great question. You won’t need to alternate skeins with this shawl. You will be fine with just one skein of each color. Does this help?
@@ExpressionFiberArts Yes and no. ;) Sooo, only need to alternate skeins if doing a solid piece, a garment or there is a huge portion of the piece in one color? Then alternate every 2-3 rows? I am so confused. Sorry.
Yes, and truly it’s a personal preference. Usually it’s done for larger areas or items made in all one color.
Hi.
Can you tell me the length and width of the shawl ,!
Usually what's the length and width to make perfect shawl
Sure! The size is 15x30. All of the details can be found here: www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/quietude.html Because there are so many different shapes and varieties of shawls, I think the perfect size shawl is the one that works best for you. For rectangular shawls, I like them about this size because you can wear them in a variety of different ways and they will look good. Hope this helps!
Thank you for this, and a note, the pattern is confusing about switching hooks.
Thanks for the feedback. 😊
Where can i get this pattern and purchase the yarns pls
You can find all of our yarns and patterns at www.expressionfiberarts.com/ and this pattern at: www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/quietude.html
please what kind of yarn did you use to make this shawl ? and could I find a light weight yarn like that in alize diva yarns?
We used our Vellum Fingering yarn found here: www.expressionfiberarts.com/categories/fingering/vellum-fingering.html You can use any fingering weight yarn. 🧶
0:35 why does the music sound like it could be in Endless Ocean XDD
What is a substitute yarn?
Thank you for your question. We're currently out of stock of Vellum Fingering but we're expecting a delivery from the Mill later this summer. Alternatively, you can use our CashSilk Sock base (www.expressionfiberarts.com/categories/fingering/cashsilk-sock.html) with a fiber content of 75% Superwash Merino Wool, 15% Cashmere, 10% Silk. It's not the same as Vellum but the Cashmere will make up for the softness of the Baby Alpaca and Yak.
Hope this helps!
This may be a dumb question but does the beginning ch2 in the fdc count as anything ?
Rita, no, not unless specified
Please help me get the pattern of chart of quietude shawl.
Sure! Please write us here: www.expressionfiberarts.com/contact-us/ and we will try to help. 😊
It's funny how I can read a chart but not a pattern 🙃😄 ... remember to stay safe and stay blessed
🤗
Can you make a knit version of this full tutorial
