Hi Martyn congratulations on reaching 10k. Loving this year’s MKAL as I am doing it with my sister and of course it is more special as Stephen helped us with our choices. ❤❤❤
Pierhead building was headquarters of the Cardiff Railway company. My great grandfather used to shower in the basement after working on loading the coal ships. Cardiff has a great history and the docks area was very multicultural. Love your shawl colours and congrats on the 10k!
Hi Martyn How does Stephen come up with these ideas. Who would have thought to start a shawl like that! Congratulations on the 10K subscribers. It's been fun seeing you grow. Have a fun Sunday. Off to the theatre with our best friends tomorrow. (Sunday). Have a fabulous weekend. xxJane 🐑🌼
Congratulations on 10k! You are sooo right with the yarn management but it is easy to manage if you’re aware of it, in saying that I was constantly untangling. I have the last triangle left to go so thinking I will be finished on the weekend ❤
Congrats on 10k subs! 🎉 Love the pink and green together in your Go Go Dynamo. Stephen said any cast-on would do when starting the joining. I tried long tail a couple of times and things were just too loose for me. So I decided to do a purl-wise cable cast-on, and it was a game changer for me in terms of controlling tension at the beginning of the joining section. Like you I wrestled with yarn tangles and said some very bad words. 😂 I was not addressing the little tangles at the time they occurred. But generally it’s all going better. October is my favourite month for so many reasons, not the least of which is our wedding anniversary mid month. ~Brenda
Hey, ten thousand subs! Congrats. I do not know how @StephenWest does it but he's designed another amazing fabric. It's so fun to see it develop. Last month was scorching here = over 40C every day - so I watched all 4 LOTR movies - I still think Jackson and the teams did fabulous work all through it. Martyn, I hope you're taking your vitamins and loaded up on coffee - it's going to be a busy month. You do seem to be enjoying it and that's the point!
10k subs!!! congrats!!! I am working on my third semicircle right now and seeing how my friends suffer with the wool mess, as you said. A friend has kept part of her work inside a sock, so she can work without getting the thread tangled. Waiting for next vlog.... thanx a bunch!
After ripping it out three times - changing my colour order, mis counting stitches, then adding in a chunky 2ply kid mohair stripe - deciding it was too thick, unplying it to a single ply and reknitting again I have finally finished semicircle one - phew!!!
I missed something in the 2nd to last Garter Stripe join but just kept going. Crossing fingers it won’t be too noticeable once all stitches on holders need to be picked up. Otherwise, it’ll be a Design Element, hey hey!! 😁
wuuhuuu 10.000 congrats. to my surprise I finished clue 1 on saturday and have woven in ends here sunday. And yes I also got tangled a lot. now i can make some progress on some socks and a blanket while a wait for thursday
Your colours are amazing 💖💚 😍. Your MKAL is looking great. Congratulations on reaching 10k subscribers. It was through your MKAL Slipstravaganza that I found you all those years ago. Love your podcasts. 🥰
Wow you've fantastically well! I'm hoping to get the triangles done today-so glad I watched this before starting them, then it's back to work so probably won't be able to keep up but I'll try!
CHEERS 🥂🥂to 10,000 subscribers; well deserved 🥳!! Loving Vlogtober 🎃🍁, as always! Enjoy following your mkal progress; your shawl is looking great ! Take Care!!
Ha ha my yarn also was twisted all over the place including my arm 🙂 a lot of swearing but in the end worth the effort, having a blast! Happy Knitting!
I so appreciate your Vlogtober videos! It's my birthday month, and it's like a whole month of celebration ❤ Your GGD is brilliant; can't wait for the mohair dare!
Many Congratulations 🍾 10,000 subscribers…..quite the achievement!!! 😇I absolutely love how your shawl is coming along!! I am a bit behind you but I also have had some bad words to say! Very much enjoy your Vlogtober editions….look forward to the next one!
Congratulations on 10K subscribers. Stephen always seems to have a looser tension. I love the fabric you are getting. Very clean and smooth. I'm not doing this MKAL but I am loving watching you and the others as you progress.
my joining triangles are all incredibly dodgey except for the last one. I had to sneak in 10 stitches on the first one. definitely need to go slow with those ones.
Love your October vlog and the heads up on the mcal. I started on Thursday and made a mistake with the increases and had to really focus around row 25 onwards. Then I was away for the weekend , so will knit again tomorrow. Also have other projects on the go so won't ever be up to date most likely lol
congratulations on the 10K subscribers! you created a lovely community! can I make another suggestion for vlogtober : if Marc wants to make a contribution, he could make welsh cakes or nut-free granolabars. maybe you both could make them together in the style of Arne and Carlos, Carlos telling Arne what to do. would this end in quarreling? It makes me laugh thinking about it. Goodluck with the MKAL, it seems that is started very well this time.
Hi Martyn, that looks great! I'm halfway through section 2 and I only watch Stephen's video as far as I have knit to keep the mystery a bit longer 😊. For me it's a lot of knitting but I love how it looks. Congratulations on your 10K!
Your MKAL looks great. I'm almost done with my first semi-circle. I enjoyed the cast on party Thursday. Thanks for the patience while I figured out my phone's microphone. My colors make me happy. Gun continues! See you next time!
Working away on my bobbles section, with this video to keep me company :-) I also had to fudge in 2 extra stitches in at the end of one of the triangles. And I very much relate to the yarn tangle. Maybe I should have woven in my ends before continuing... but I am too excited to pause for something like weaving in ends...

Great, now I want to watch LOTR... director's cut!! 😂🤣😂🤣
I'm not doing MKAL this year, but I love to watch.

I think we have started in the middle and something gets joined to both sides
Congratulations 🥳🥳🥳
Your colours remind me of 'baby pom' from the Fimbles 😊

Congratulations on 10 thousand subscribers. It is fun to follow along on your Go Go Dynamo journey.
I'm watching you and have just started my shawl. On row 19. I also get excited to start these shawls. This is already fabulous!
I’m a huge egg bite fan! Need to know, which ones are your favs?
Thanks for the heads up Martin. I’m just about to start that section. Love your colours. Thanks for doing Vlogtober. It’s a lot on work❤️
Hi , i finished clue 1 at the end of our video. Congrats to 10000 subscribers.
Yay 10k subscribers 🎉
I've just finished my 3 semi circles and I knit on 4mm like Kitey.

Congratulations on your subscriber numbers!!!
Loving Vlogtober. Martyn. Congratulations on 10,000 subs.
Working away on my bobbles section, with this video to keep me company :-) I also had to fudge in 2 extra stitches in at the end of one of the triangles. And I very much relate to the yarn tangle. Maybe I should have woven in my ends before continuing... but I am too excited to pause for something like weaving in ends...
Did you get to watch Return of the King or just up to the end of Two Towers?
First comment!!!! Yay!!!
