Steven darlin, I got up this morning to check out your kits, and in a blink everything I liked was sold out. What I did was look in my stash and picked 5 colors following your advice. I can't wait to get started. Your so talented, and we're lucky to have you in the knitting world.💖💖💖💖
Thanks, this really helps! You know, when I first decided to join this first MKAL, I couldn't understand what all the fuss was about with trying to decide on which colours etc but now that I'm trying to decide it is actually so hard! I am planning to gift my finished shawl to my mum so I'm choosing her kind of colours but it doesn't make it any easier. I'm even thinking of mixing some yarns from different brands which is not something I've done before. My mum is a prolific knitter, she has knitted so many different things/patterns over the years, but I bet she's never seen anything like Shawlography, it's going to be an awesome surprise!
The most beautiful Shawlographys are the monochromes this year. When finished with my El Fuego del Diablo, I want to knit a monochrome to pay homage to your gorgeous design. 🤫😊
I’m all ready! I’m stepping out of all comfort zones: I fell in love with a kit color wise I typically would never go for, I’m super excited! Can’t wait to start 🥰
Thank you for all the support, videos and information regarding choosing your yarn and what works together. I knitted the Winters' Light Shawl at the beginning of the year and I love it; my first but not last Stephen West pattern xxx
As I was smart-working when sell started I wasn't able to buy the kit I wanted, but I really really hope it will go on sale again because it was perfect for me (it was called Satsuma something).... by the way I ask if it is possible to keep a page with the pictures of sold kits so that one can eventually look at the name and color of the skeins and buy them separately.
Joining for my first Westknits MKAL and only my second MKAL ever! So excited! Got my colors picked out based off a kit I liked but couldn't afford (that also disappeared REALLY fast) and the color advice you gave
Yes,Stephen! I am so excited. My first property west knits mkal and I’m going to try my best to keep up! I hope there is brioche- not ventured into that world and I know this is the perfect place to start- your tutorials are always sooo good! Can’t wait to join all these fab knitters!
I just purchased the MKAL and am so excited. I've always admired your designs, but am diving in for the first time. I'll be so excited to pick my colors! Your youtubes are so inspiring!
This is my first MKAL, I found a nice subtle mix of colours in my stash, a couple of pops, I do have some lovely mohair options too, I'm really looking forward to this!
When you mention Fantastitch, I did a double take, because I thought it was called Fanatastitch this whole time, lol. And I've picked two of my colors already, the pop and the dark, weeee!
Hi Stephen I don't know how to knit ,but watching👀 you made me want to learn I love,love ,love your show,soooo wonderful. I did try to knit 30 years ago ,just a straight shawl like 😂😂 All the Beautiful colors 🌈 Thank You soooo much‼️‼️ You and your crew Be Safe⛑
My first every MKAL. After watching everyone last year and of course seeing everyone (and I do mean everyone) making Vertices, how could I not join in this year. However, the excitement must be getting to me because I cant for the life of me figure out how to get to the kits on the Stephen & Penelope website. Guess that its a sign that I need to dye my own.
I got the marine sky kit. I can’t wait. Blue is my favorite color and I prefer more tame color choices so I know I’ll love it. Cant wait to start knitting!
So excitiiittteeeddd!!! I'm going to step out of my comfort zone and pull the colors from my stash I've been saving for a while. Thanks for pouring all the love into this!
i started knitting very recently since i wanted to learn how to so i could knit up some of your very very cool and exciting patterns so im looking forward to participating in this mkal 💖
Scrumptious! I sent this to a neighbour, as I already have the PDF, & GUESS who was sorting through her stash this afternoon? My colour preferences are clearly greeny/bluey /autumnal , but I still have time to take the plunge & buy in a completely new colour range, for what I hope might become an heirloom piece! 🙏🏻🌹🙏🏽 may thanks!
I was just about to cast on a new project when this video popped up and you got me so excited about choosing colors for the MKAL that I decided that the other project had to wait. ^^ I spent all morning choosing colors from LITLG, but I couldn't decide on 5, I had to order a 6th one as well. ;) Also, I just wanted to say I love your videos. Your creativity, enthusiasm and love for this craft comes across so well and it's so inspiring. Thank you for making our world a little bit more colourful. :)
So excited for my first Westknit and my first MKAL!! Which set is on the swatch you picked up at 13:25? It looks pink, light blue, light yellow, gold, and a speckle?
My first KAL! Would it be ok to use different bases and fibres of fingering weight yarn in the one shawl? I’m sorting through the stash and seeing combos of single and 2-plied, alpaca blends and kid mohair held double.
Your sold out already of everything 😱😪. Are you putting up more kits?. I live in Australia, so I’ll have to move fast to get delivery……. Thanks from Australia 🐨🦘😷
I have some Hedgehog Fibers Sock yarn in my stash I'd like to use for the MKAL. It's 90% Merino and 10% nylon. Does anyone have any thoughts on whether it would be ok to use for the MKAL?
I missed out on the kits 😫 so I will have to stash dive. Do the skeins have to be the same type of yarn as in all merino or a mixture of blended yarns ? Can’t wait to start 😀
Me encantaría poder comprar 1 paq de las 5 lanas, soy de Campeche,México, tienen envíos a esta ciudad y me podrían dar el costo con el envío incluido y como adquirirlos, gracias.
Hi Stephen, this is my first mkal. I'm going through my stach and finding a lot of mini-skeins (~80 m each) is this a project where they can be used or should I have five 'solid' skeins?
I used the grays + neon yellow for my first one and next I want an autumnal shawl for my final version with gold/green/rusty orange/cream. I'm so glad we get to play with so many colors this year!
Hi Stephen, in the video about the kits you loaded this week you had a kit that had the word bronze, I don’t see it as a kit at your website. Will it be added?
Oxidized Bronze. That one sold out but you can see the colors from that kit here... www.stephenandpenelope.com/products/shawlography-oxidized-bronze?_pos=1&_psq=oxidized%20bronz&_ss=e&_v=1.0
The patterns from Stephen are very clear and he always has video’s with the technics explained. He is a very good teacher. If you can knit you can do it!
I would say it's adventurous beginner friendly because I will provide detailed video tutorials along the way for all the techniques and stitches. It's a great opportunity to learn some new techniques and expand your knitting skills!

“Say yes, don’t stress” is my new knitting motto. Thank you!!!!
"Say yes, don't stress" it's like a mantra, I love it

Just bought it one for Mr and one for a friend! Hurray

I’m digging through my HHF stash! I’ve been waiting for a yummy pattern to play with fun color arrangement and a POP!
I was able to buy a kit after my desired want got sold out when in the process of paying. but happy dancing in the heart.
I’m going to use some of my laceweight stash and make a slightly smaller shawl.
love love love love love! can't wait!
I’m so excited first west knit pattern ever! Stash diving like a mad woman
i started knitting very recently since i wanted to learn how to so i could knit up some of your very very cool and exciting patterns so im looking forward to participating in this mkal 💖
Is the green/blue skein in the Mominoki kit at 7:34 (Saffran Tree) "Evergreen" or "Fir Tree", please? Thanks for being so inspiring & enthusiastic!
This is my first mkal. Im Very excited! Stephen ,✌🏼❤️ from your home state :)
I really am appreciating all the guidance and inspiration in choosing colors! 🥰🧶😍
Thank you! I'll keep sharing more fun videos throughout the month. :)

How can I tell with the purple group which is red purple purple red I get very unsure on the tones? Thanks and Love your Art 💕
So excited for my first Westknit and my first MKAL!! Which set is on the swatch you picked up at 13:25? It looks pink, light blue, light yellow, gold, and a speckle?
It is very frustrating to see that most of the suggested sets are ‘sold out’ from the start of this video. I have checked for weeks!
❤️ I am in when does this start? 👍
Just ordered the Yaku Red kit, because Antique Queen got sold out from under me!
I love all I get my kit 😍thanks you
I need to know what that name of that luscious bright yellow almost hint of green luminescent colour is from walk collection.
Just ordered. Really wanted the Burgandy Steel Kit, but was sold out, even after logging on when kits first became available .😔
That was one of the first ones to go. I hope you found another beautiful palette that excites you!
@@StephenWest I did. Thank you. So excited for Shawlography, my first MKAL with you. Love all your knitted pieces. Absolutely beautiful!

Such beautiful yarns. I have many fingerweight yarns with different colors. Would it be too busy or muddy to use these yarns for this MKAL2021?
Fingering weight yarn - how many yards per skein?
I missed out on the kits 😫 so I will have to stash dive. Do the skeins have to be the same type of yarn as in all merino or a mixture of blended yarns ? Can’t wait to start 😀
Is there a place to see all the kits offered so I can be notified when it becomes available?
Me encantaría saber que dices, no sé inglés 😔, pero supongo que hablas de la combinación de colores
Me encantaría poder comprar 1 paq de las 5 lanas, soy de Campeche,México, tienen envíos a esta ciudad y me podrían dar el costo con el envío incluido y como adquirirlos, gracias.
Your killing me again.

@@StephenWest I bought on Stephen and Penelope website for Shawlography -Yaku Blue Green x1.
@@isobelgreer7693 I bought the Yaku Red 😊
What do you do if you don’t have Instagram? Can you do it on RUclips too?
How many total yards do I need?
