Aah yes that was when I found out that I was pregnant with my daughter about 9 years ago. I had been struggling with alcohol and drug addiction and lost everything. I thought my life was over, but God gave me my miracle baby and saved my life. I'm 8 years sober and I'm so grateful for life today :) This shawl is absolutely stunning :)
Congratulations! God bless…🥰
@@millieo.5325 thank you 💖
That was the feeling I felt the day I married my husband. I was only 16 years old. We've been together for 42 years and I still love him just as much today.
I felt that way when I taught myself to knit during covid quarrantine. I already knew how to crochet, but I needed a new challenge/creative outlet.
Congratulations on your enduring marriage. I love hearing about marriages that are in it for the long haul. Here's to another 42 years! 🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾
@@cherylg5315 I feel the same way after 49 years of marriage!💕
How sweet! I love this 🧡🧡🧡
Beautiful! May you have another 50 years together (to both couples)…❤
After a very emotional roller coaster as a mom, when my youngest son was officially recognized as a person by the state, it felt amazing to see the look in his eyes at this victory he achieved. It came after a million small battles but it came, despite the obstacles. It's wonderful to see your children shine as who they are ❤
Beautiful shawl & pattern!!! After feeling my life had ended when my husband died from a drawn out time of cancer, I met my now husband. We became great friends & found out we both loved to travel to new, adventurous places together. Later we discovered we couldn’t bear a day apart from each other & got married. Every day has been a “wave” of up & down adventures!!! This shawl reminds me so much of our wonderful life together!!! Thanks for sharing this with us!!!
Love watching the flocks of birds flying. This such a great representation of them. This colorway has got to be one of my favorites! The most impactful time I started something new was when I had my daughter. It was full of joy, excitement, unpredictability,... lots of emotiions.
After a long time of thinking I wouldn't be able to knit because of my issues with my hands due to disability, the day I started and successfully knit my first scarf with a bit of help from ladies at a friendly yarn shop was magical.
The feeling I had when I got my first nursing position at a prestigious Long Island Hospital. I had been a single parent struggling with making ends meet before I graduated college with my nursing degree. I felt so empowered that day. I went on to lovingly care for oncology patients for 14 years. It was a calling, and I answered it. Today I am retired and living a wonderful life in Wyoming, just outside Yellowstone National Park. My kids are grown and on their own. That moment proved to me, I can do anything I put my mind to. Life is wonderful!
In my mid-30s, I knew I had to make a change and that was the feeling I had when I left Chicago for Wyoming without knowing a soul here, ending up in a small town of 195 people. Twenty-seven years later, I still work too many hours, but instead of riding home alone on a subway every day, I work from home and begin and end each day hiking in a state park with a pack of foster dogs rescued from rough situations, training them to be the best they can be so they can be adopted. I can't wait to learn to make the waves in this beautiful shawl!
When my son was born. Holding him for the first time, my heart was filled with so much love for that little life that was a part of me. I had that same feeling nine years later when my daughter was put into my arms. They are the loves of my life. That shawl is very beautiful. Watching this video it looks like fun to knit.
I always feel content when I finally start a new knitting or crochet project, especially whith that beautiful yarn I fell in love with at first sight and that was waiting in my stash for the perfect pattern to show up... 🤗
But that genuine feeling of happy, smiling thrill..., as a child I experienced it each year the night before Santa Claus. As an adult, each time I went to my dance courses or the first time I sang or danced on stage or when waiting for a plane and travelling to a foreign country; especially on that journey to Africa... Or the day that I bought my first car... Or when I put my makeup on and then, while driving the whole road long to meet that special friend who could become my lover... 🤗☺️
But that was long ago...
Chandy, your presentations are perfect! 🤩 The colours of those exceptionally beautiful yarns, the photographies, the patterns, the way you accesorize and showcase them, your narrations... It's all harmony!
Well done! 👍🏼 Congratulations to the entire Expression Fiber Arts team!💜
I love Fridays. Always exciting seeing new patterns. New techniques. Colour arrangements. Designers story. Frissons for fridays.
Same for me, when I married my husband. We couldn’t wait to have kids together. Wonderful. I loved being a stay at home mom, making homemade meals from scratch, crocheting, arts and crafts. I only started knitting in 2005 and never stopped. Thank you for all of your videos. You make it very easy to understand and give us confidence that we can do anything. Thank you ❤
Excitement comes to me whenever I can be creative. I love the feeling of joy it brings me when I make something, and the happiness it brings other people when I give a knitted project or a handmade card to them. Creating is my zen, meditation & helps ground me. I love the feeling when I open a new package of yarn & imagine what it will become! ❤
The thrill of retiring after working for 42 years.🎉
The thrill of starting something new hit me when I first became a mother and laid eyes on my precious tiny little 4 pound twin baby boys. And in typing this, I can recall going back even further in my memories, when first hearing their heartbeats in the stethoscope. I remember I was laying down, and at hearing those heart beats, (sounding like a lot of sawing and construction going on in there! 😀) the tears just leaked out of my eyes and down into my ears! I was so in love immediately! *sigh* Such a special time in a woman's life! Thank you for making mind go down such a sweet memory lane.
My most memorable thrill of starting something new was in 2015 - my grandmother had been an avid knitter for decades, and for as many times as I tried, I could never catch on. When she lost sight in one eye, she could no longer knit. I went and spent the weekend with her and we went through all of her supplies, tools, gadgets, and patterns. I picked up a set of needles and cast on and started to knit successfully! She was so excited that she could share her art. I immediately inherited everything she had, and made her several washcloths, so I could practice different stitches and patterns. My gramma passed away in 2018, and every time I knit, I think of her and smile, feeling all warm and fuzzy. I treasure those moments with her that weekend, and still think of her with immense love.
Every time I learn a new stitch in crochet or knitting, I get that thrill of starting something new. Most recently, I had that feeling when I started a mystery quilt in my sewing class.
I thought long and hard about when I had a moment like this. My feeling of excitement is kind of nerdy.
I was a stay at home mom and was picking up computer repair as a hobby.
The first time I took the cover off of a computer and looked at the inside of it, I exclaimed “WOW”! And my husband came running, asking what was going on.
I said “I HAVE to know MORE!”
And I learned and had a successful career in network administration and computer repair as well as tech support.
This shawl is beautiful and I bet that feeling comes as the waviness and feel of the beautiful pearlescent fingering catches your skin!
It looks like a fun project!
When my children were born. It was an absolutely amazing day as I was always told I wouldn’t be able to have any. The thrill of a new life, tiny hands and feet, and the wonder of what was to come.
What a beautiful shawl. The stitches are gorgeous and the yarn with the shades of grey- just lovely. Coming home with my first born was such an exciting but unknown adventure, now he is 16 and has grown into a beautiful young man. 😊
This is a beautiful shawl and the yarn showcases it perfectly. 😊 The library was my favorite place to be. When my son was born I started reading craft books with projects for him. After that it was like an explosion of reading on many crafts. I hadn't really knitted,even though I was taught as a child. I made my first pair of baby booties for him.
This feeling I got when we moved from Germany to Mexico in 1999. Everything was new and exciting and we didn’t know what to expect. The hole time (6 years) was much more than we anticipated! Lots of work but also great friendships! 🎉😊
Becoming a mother was that moment of excitement and joy. When I first held my baby, it was truly love at first sight.
So many times in my life, feeling that excitement__like many here, having my 2 sons; discovering a new passion/calling through massage school, graduating as a Holistic Health Practitioner after starting over due to a divorce at 43......!
But most recently, at 70, getting back my knitting 'mojo' after loosing interest a year ago, due to a frustrating project I couldn't make work. 😇
Thanks for this week's lovely shawl pattern__and your awesome singing at the end! ✨
Love, Light, and Fiber Blessings. 🙏😇✨💫🌱🌿🌻🐝🌳🌎💖🙌😺
When I quit my job to move across the country to be with my son’s family. Being able to be part of my grand babies every day life is the best.
I was anticipating and excited to sit with my wonderful aunt and learn to knit. That was two years ago, and though I am slow, I love it. I'm even more excited about crocheting, which I learned when I was eleven.
The day I saw my 2 daughter's walking down the aisle at their weddings when they married, so proud, but left a huge hole, but knowing we did a good job and they were and are still happy setting out on their own life journey, we have 3 gorgeous happy and healthy grandchildren now ❤
Beautiful pattern! Love the knit pattern tutorials.
That feeling, when I started college after having 3 kids, in my thirties was one of the most thrilling and amazing feelings I had in my life!! That first day in class, that feeling, I never forget! I was so grateful for the opportunity!!!!
When I learned how to crochet a few years years ago, then took on knitting following year, I was thrilled to find that I could do both! Now, I have a hard time deciding what project to do first. I am working on knitting a summer top right now, and can't wait to finish it! 😊 I really love the wave texture of this shawl, and feel like I need to try this next! Love, love, love the colors here!
One moment in my life when I experienced the thrill of starting something new was when I moved to the Midwest. Due to the long winters I decided to teach myself to knit and my love of knitting and fiber arts began!!!
The new start for me is when I became a grandmother. I didn't think I was going to experience being one for a few reasons. I now have 1 grandson 23, and 2 granddaughters ages 14 and 3. Yes they were spaced out and by my only child. The love I have for them is 100% pure joy. There are many things that have brought me happiness, my child, my husband, my experiences in life most were good, some not so much. My love for those 3 and the love that they have for me is just beyond anything I would think possible.
I love the look of this design. My exciting moments are every time I start a new knitted project. The excitement of learning new stitches and the satisfaction of a finished item I can either wear or give to a knit-worthy friend or family member. I usually made them as a surprise for the recipient and the joy of seeing their happy faces just adds to the adventure.
That is such a nifty little spinneroo! What fun! I must get myself a dpn now. As for thrills at something new, I'm an explorer at heart and get itchy feet and wanderlust. The first time I remember the thrill is when we moved from PA to the Bay Area of Cali. So much newness, from geography to climate to place in the world! We're in FL now, and between the Bay Area and here we lived in AZ and SoCal. Been in FL now almost 13 years and the feet are itchy for sure. No move on horizon, so I explore in other ways, be it gardening, landscaping, knitting & crocheting, other crafts, languages, etc.
I experienced the thrill of something new the days my daughters were born. More recently, I experienced the same thrill when I retired from working 23+ years at my state’s DMV. I do really like the bird like symbolism in this pattern. That you for yet another pattern that I have to make!
My son was premature by 2 months and when I was finally allowed to hold him even though it was just for a few minutes I felt so blessed and incredibly happy and yes my life did change from that day forward to now he’s 30 years of age! ❤❤. As always your videos are a joy to watch and the patterns are so beautiful thank you! 🥰
Such a beautiful pattern! As many others have commented, my biggest thrill was beginning the adventure of being a mother. With all the ups and downs, there is still nothing like it, and I wouldn't trade a moment.
Hello! Thank you for another lovely pattern. I am constantly chasing after that thrill of starting a new endeavor or project. My family calls me the serial hobbyist. So basically I get that feeling, that thrill, whenever I start a new project. Whether it's knitting, crochet, calligraphy, sashiko, embroidery, Goldwork, white work, barghello .....that zing inside is what propels me to keep starting and finding something new. I usually have five projects going simultaneously and they all give that delicious feeling of excitement at the onset. I love it!
My health issues made doing my other hobbies near impossible. Sewing, quilting, jewelry, clay and such... Then I decided to try knitting a couple of months ago. Not only has it become my favorite thing to do of all time but it has helped me work through some of the things I have struggled with for years! I don't exactly know what made me decide to pick up something new in my life when nothing else was working but I'm so glad I did!! I just wished I felt like going to classes or that I had a LYS in my town and not so far to drive. I hate buying everything online.
That feeling of excitement not knowing what was to come happened when I finished college. It's an exhilarating feeling after tossing your graduation cap in the air and venturing into a new stage not knowing what kind of job I'll get. I had 2 jobs and got married and realized after working for 12 years, that motherhood was the best job of all!
Thank you for this lovely shawl pattern!
That purple hues you showed is beautiful! I felt an amazing thrill the first day I started teaching middle school science. It's been an amazing ride, never dull. It's some insane chaos in middle school but I love my kids.
My first time going to Japan I remember sitting on the train from the airport to the school I was about to attend thinking that my life was going to change and getting the shivers just from thinking about it. And it did. I met my now husband while going to school there and started a new life with him 500 miles away from my own family once we got back to the States. I'm so glad I took that leap of faith in my life. Thank you so much for this pattern, Chandi. Have a wonderful weekend!
Thank you for sharing. 🩶
The day I encountered a little black cat an an adoption fair. We had no intention of getting a cat that day, but it suddenly became apparent, to our amazement, that there was no way we were leaving without her. We were so excited to see what our lives would be like with this wonderful floofball afoot. Jester sits with me every day when I knit or crochet, purring contentedly.
My most recent "frisson" moment was when I became concertmaster for a local community orchestra for their holiday concert. I have been playing violin for about 30 years, and this was one of my very first times being concertmaster for an orchestra. I just love playing my violin and creating beautiful music with so many other people for audiences to enjoy. I guess that is also why I love to crochet and knit. That feeling of creating something beautiful! P.S. You have a wonderful singing voice at the end of the video! 💜🎶😃
I'm experiencing that thrill of starting something new, with my son starting college in the fall. There is so much to look forward to, so much promise and I'm riding the wave right there with him. Thank you for creating a dialogue that always leaves us with emphasis to self-reflect and experience gratitude. Thank you for the gorgeous pattern and yarn, it's stunning!
I would say when I tried playing tennis for the first time when I was in middle school. Leaving Chess Club and going outside to the back of the school to just sit in the school yard for a bit and just seeing the courts all set up for the first time! It was just so cool to see and how everyone having fun, I knew then I had to join and I was so glad I did!
I had that feeling when I moved back to Arizona at 28, with no plan other than to start over, and I was so excited with the infinite possibilities! Never did I imagine I'd end up married with three kids, three cats, fish, a hamster, 2 snakes and a home of our own 🥰
That was the feeling when my beautiful mother first taught me to knit when I was nine years old. I was so excited but got a little overwhelmed because my mom is right handed and I'm left handed. What she didn't know is the fact that I now know how to knit both left handed and right handed. She taught me a craft that brings me so much satisfaction and enjoyment that I can't wait until my whips are finished. She passed away this past November 2023 and I miss her dearly.
I'm so sorry for your loss. 💔
What a feeling and great blessing I have ever received were my daughter and my son! I can see a beautiful shawl made entirely of the wave stitches. ❤
that is the feeling I get when ever I see a new post of you'rs, it remind me that there is something fun and creative ahead to do and I always get that excitement and cant wait to start this new project, thank you so much for all the lovely pattern you post, and thank you for being you just want to return the nice word you send to all of us you are a beautiful soul also
Have a great day.
My most recent “Frisson moment” was when I retired from my Director of Finance position and went to work with plants, trees and shrubs…exciting and peaceful at the same time. Love the shawl pattern and beautiful yarn. You dosing beautifully!
Just this last 3 weeks! I had to find a place to live and work office for my massage business. I only had 3 weeks, and I live in rural Montana, where there aren't many options. I have found both places to live and work. Now it's time to settle into what feels like a whole new life! Exciting!
Stunning shawl! Becoming a parent was a thrill and a fear! 😊 girl. You can sing, beautiful!
I remember when I made the decision to leave my job and profession. Instead of being scared, I was sooooo excited even though I had no idea what I was going to do next, I was super excited about what was to come. I went on to become a Realtor back then and loved it. It gave me the flexibility and freedom I needed at that time. I did that for 4yrs then went back to school and became a Registered Nurse at the age of 55 and that’s what I’m still doing and I love it!
Absolutely love this stitch and pattern. Looks like another home run and I will definitely be adding to my knitting collection . Love the colors too! They are subtle yet breathtaking. Awesome work Chandi and your newest designer!! Great way to start off your journey with EFA❣️Welcome to the family 🎉
It's really just like you described it when starting a new project - in all area of live. In my memories there are: driving a car all alone, a new Job, a new puppy, moving in the own house..... and each single trip and Journalisten.
Being a horse crazy kid , my ' Frisson ' thrill was arriving at the stable where I would be starting my horse riding lessons. My life long journey with horses began at the moment we arrived at the lesson barn. ❤
What a fabulous shawl. I adore that twisted stitch. I put down the Chionte and went back to the beautiful Rainier. Now, I'd like to do this shawl. Have yourself a beautiful day and thenk you for making the world beautiful!!! Love and hugs!!!
My favorite time of feeling that thrill was when I left my career to move to Whistler, BC to pursue my passion for snowboarding. The colors of the give-away set are absolutely gorgeous! 😍
Starting a new job, all of them, have been always an exciting new experience, waiting for the new and worrying at the same time on the first day. Thanks for sharing such a beautiful pattern. And so happy you guys are bringing back those funny clips at the end of the videos, you guys always make me laugh. Thanks.
A frisson moment I had was moving to Germany when my husband got stationed there. So much excitement for that new adventure - and then again 4 years later when we got to move home to the states and back to family.
It’s been twenty years ago. But I remember the thrill of after 15 years of trying to have a baby, finding out we were pregnant. Now the transition of sending my baby off to University after the first two years completed at community college. Life is just like the waves in your shawl, beautifully flowing 😊
Love your yarns and designs
I’m waiting on my first package to arrive of your yarn. In all my years of crocheting I’ve never worked with high end yarns. I’m looking forward to this project. Thank you ❤
I have had that feeling several times in my life. I am 62 and hopeful that it comes around again.
The 1st that I remember was being asked to an 8th/9th grade school dance and saying yes and all that ensued from that moment. That's what's coming to mind as the earliest remembrance. That was a while ago! 🤣
Thank you for the give-a-way. Your yarn is truly lovely!!!❤️🧶
30 years ago, I moved from MI to CO for graduate school. Never had been to CO or traveled so far. Excited and nervous…..now I still live in CO and it’s wonderful!
I got that feeling when I move to the USA 24 years ago. Those yarns are amazing
Whenever I start a new project I get excited. It can be knitting, crocheting, or refinishing a piece of furniture. Love your Friday videos, you are such a joy to watch.
What a beautiful shawl and a neat stitch (spin). The time in my life I remember a thrill of starting something new would be learning how to knit and how much I have gone out of comfort zone to learn new techniques and trying new patterns.😎💜
When I retired in 2018, I was able to focus on crochet and more recently, knitting. I always experience a thrill when I start a new pattern and can master new stitches! 🧶🇨🇦❤️
I have that feeling every time I see there's new video from you, and every time I start a new fiber project.
My exciting moment was when we moved to Canada from Italy 11 years ago. I remember the thrill of the new adventure, the dread of the unknown, but I could feel deep in my heart the wind of change blowing and I embraced it completely. ♥️
What an adventure 🤎
Lovely Shawl... looks like a big warm hug!!!! I recently started to (trying) make a very interresting top... (Knitting many different types of stitches) Exciting to learn so much at one time! But the most exciting thing for me was the day I learned we were able too adopt our two boys! There is nothing in the world like it!
For me it was when I finally found my dream job, when I was in my late 30ies. I knew that it was what I wanted to do for the rest of my working life. Now, almost 17 years later, it’s still my dream job. I work as a test manager, testing computer software, and I love that there is structure, but always something unexpected. Btw, this was a beautiful shawl ❤
Oh Ive had that thrill so many times in my life, moving, marriage, pregnancy and childbirth. It's all been a wild thrilling life ❤❤❤❤
Most recently, the thrill of finding crochet again. Years of caregiving, along with chronic back pain I gave up my pottery business. Needing a creative outlet, I picked up crochet again after many years away. It is truly an emotional life saver! Loving every aspect of it ... yarns, learning new stitches, reading patterns, and the beauty and accomplishment of finishing a project!
It's a wonderful gift that my mom gave by teaching me how to crochet ... now after her passing its feels like a very special connection that I have with her.
Beautiful pattern Chandi. Those twisted stitches are really pretty. I felt that thrill when I got engaged in 1976. It was the beginning of an amazing journey. Also when I started taking knitting and crochet classes about 11 years ago. Even though I had been doing both for years, I wanted to learn new things. Thank you for another lovely pattern. Happy Friday.❤
I’m beginning this new pattern as I prepare for my new life after surgery this coming Friday. I am looking forward to a new life, knitting in comfort instead of pain. Looking forward to both outcomes;) Thank you for these wonderful tutorials, you pulled me through the pandemic❣️😘🙏🏿
Truly sad, but I always feel good when I begin studying a new subject. Currently I'm working on a degree in computing and IT and I get that butterfly feeling as soon as my course materials arrive! I think I would work this shawl with a twist section along the bottom of the shawl where the stocking stitch section is. Lovely pattern, as always. Thanks Chandi!
I have that feeling every day. Just being alive is an awesome experience. 😊 My drive each year since I retired has been to learn a new art form, quilting, photography, watercolors, stained glass, lampwork, and learning to knit. It has brought me that joy with each time I push the envelope with a more difficult pattern.
I get that feeling whenever I step into a book shop to find a new book to read or when I look through all my crochet patterns to decide which one to begin next 😊😍
I felt this when I was leaving Australia to go study as a chef at the cordon blue in France. I am not the most extroverted person but also not going to sit around if I am not happy and whine. It was hard and an emotional roller-coaster but one of best things I have done. 😊❤
I was getting depressed due to Cancer diagnosis and many other medical problems, but I decided to learn to knit. With your help, Chandi, and a few others in RUclips, I’ve learned to knit. I’m still pretty new as I crochet and always have several projects in the works, but that’s when I felt excited…😊 Hopefully, I can knit some of those beautiful patterns that you graciously share with us…🤗🥰

When my husband and I got our first home. We had waited so long and finally the time had come.
That was a very quick forty two years ago. We've had five children and now have ten grandchildren. Still happy, bit older and not much wiser.
I've been looking at this and had gone through my stash on Tuesday and was looking for a yarn or three to use.
So excited by the pattern. xxJane 🐑🌼
Beautiful shawl, and beautiful colors! The day I moved in with my new husband. We had both been through a divorce, and this was both thrilling and nerve-wracking. But it worked, and we've been together for 37 wonderful years!
I love the feeling of making something, whether it's a meal from scratch, a sweater from balls of wool, a garden from seed packets, or reviving a forgotten piece of furniture.
Becoming a mother. Just a whole new and exciting journey.
I love your patterns and newsletter. I remember the excitement I had when learning to knit a swatch for a sweater knit in the round (different than a flat swatch) and loved how the yarn looked after washing it. It was the hardest sweater I ever knit but the yarn was luscious. I love your yarns too. So soft! I love the technique used in this pattern and learning new things! Thank you!!
The thrill of something new is here right now as I venture out Sunday for an African safari!
I love the ripples! I made a mini blanket with a similar pattern once before. One endeavor that's always exciting for our family is gardening/market gardening. We started growing for just us, but decided to sell weekly from our sidewalk, and included sourdough and baked goods. We share a dream to own a food truck or small restaurant... Someday. For now, it's a fun side thing we do with our 8 children, teaching them life skills and that thrill of entrepreneurship 🩷
Years ago, moving to a different country on another continent, having to speak a different language and experience a different culture, leaving everything and everyone we knew behind, and starting a new life from scratch. It felt like jumping from one swing to another without a net. A terrifying but beautiful adventure!
Beautiful shawl! The wave pattern is gorgeous.❤ I retired a few years ago and needed a hobby so I taught myself how to crochet and loved so much that I also took on knitting. I am not an expert, but I can do both😊. It's exciting learning new stitches and techniques and creating something wonderful.
I love each day, so much joy and love it’s hard to pin it down. Explore and live because it’s a gift we get.
The first time I was taught to weave using a Rigid Heddle Loom was exciting. Also, I love this new shawl. I believe that this will be a shawl that I will really enjoy knitting. Thank you for all the great, inspiring videos.
I have that feeling at the beginning of each new school year. I am a music and performing arts teacher. I enjoy watching the kiddos try new things and experience new adventures - it never gets old! When they take risks and are successful, the excitement is palpable.
Gorgeous yarn and pattern! My thrilling moment was bringing home my 1st child, nerves and excitement all in one.
My biggest thrill recently was in September, when after working for 19 years in the same place I changed my job. It was very exciting and now I know for sure it was one of the best decisions in my life. Beautiful pattern, as usual 🙂❤.
That time for me was June 30 2017 when I retired. It was also when I had the time to teach myself how to knit. A life changing and exciting time!
When I moved out of my mom and dad’s house and into my first apartment I had such a wave of excitement that I could hardly stand it. There’s nothing like knowing you’re going to have your own place. At the same time it’s one of the scariest.
In 1983 I joined the military (US Air Force) and I was excited and scared at the same time. I love the pattern and your lovely pearlescent fingering yarn is one of my favorites. Your singing voice is so pretty I can easily overlook the comical mispronunciation of the Queen of Souls name. I got a good laugh from both that and Tim's comment.
I think I feel that every time I start out on a trip, leaving my familiar home to travel to some new destination. Love this simple twist to create the pattern.
Love this! Ordered the yarn and pattern today. I am going to do the entire shawl in spin stitch in waterfall hues!!! I will make it a tad smaller so I can get 2 shawls with the kit! There are so many moments like that! When my children were born, marrying my husband , retiring after 20 years of military service!
I’m starting my own business this year - frissons all over! Excited, apprehensive, joyous, grateful and enthusiastic - a drop of fear, too, but not too much ..!
Good luck 🤎
