you are a beautiful artist i have been knitting from 8 years time as gone fast but at 62 i am kept busy knitting for my family an they just love your shawls; now making your honey comb jumpers all 7of them for holiday gifts thank you.
You are so perfect 🤩 honestly! I love that you can get this 75 year old lady excited about learning to knit. I know a little but now I’m going to know more! Thank you. You’ve made this COVID thing much brighter for so many of us.
I’ve been wanting to knit one of your designs for a long time but I think this Mkal is the perfect opportunity to do it. I can watch you talking about yarn and colour for hours. Thanks for the positive energy 🌈
You are like the guru of the knitting community. The pied piper, the muse that keeps us all interested and moving forward. A BIG Thank you for all you do. I loved seeing all the kits and your patterns never disappoint! I've knit some of them and I have like 10 more on my Ravelry list to get. Now a new KAL! Can't wait!
Beautiful colors and kits. I am a new knitter and I got the shawlography pattern. I'm loving it and I'm also on clue one for Twist and Turns. Thank you Stephen. You're a great teacher and designer.
And you talking about the purple crowd, as part of the blue crowd I'd say there are some gorgeous blues in there too! Haha but honestly not even just an option for everyone, but multiple options for everyone!
oh i wish I knitted more then the plain old reg stitch you make it all sound so wonderful!! awesome video, your love for your craft is so fun to see : )
I believe this is known as ‘awesome’ - it certainly made my day! So fun. & I also love the view out the window; thank you so much - means I’ve got tomorrow to ‘take dictation’, & make my decisions I’m very much an Autumn girl, so ‘Saffron Tree’ & ‘Camel Sand’ are already on my mind, but who knows.....? From Brighton 🌈 UK, take care & be well y’all! 🙏🏻🌹🙏🏽
This will my secon MKAL I like all the color I don't know wich one to choose I'll see the colors again thank you for beautiful creations let's go for it 😊
I love your designs for so long, but have never knitted anyone of them. This will be the first time and I'm a slow knitter. I hope the best. 😁 It can only be beautiful! In my stash is not one single-colored strand of yarn. So it will be colorful! Greetings from Germany.
We have similar tastes Elaine: the Burgundy steel would make a classic shawl, also the Crab Call and I am digging Salmon Sorbet and the yellow pink orange muted blush towards the end. So many choices ! I have watched the video several times already
STEPHEN, BOA TARDE. PASSEI A VER ALGUNS VIDEOS SEUS..MARAVILHOSOS QUE TRABALHOS LINDOS!!!!! AMEI! PENA QUE EU NÃO ENTENDO O IDIOMA. TENHO O INGLES...MAS MUITOOOO POUCO, QUASE NADA.ACHEI MARAVILHOSAS SUAS TÉCNICAS DE TRICO. PARABÉNS. BJOS. CRISTINA CAMACHO - SÃO PAULO- BRASIL
I swear it must be fate: typically I’m never off work for the launch of a Westknits mystery shawl, hence why I never participated due to never knowing. This will be my first Westknits knit along, a smidge scared but I can do this…
Every one of the kits featured here are gorgeous! I am late to the game and your website says most are sold out! This will be a massive MKAL and I hope I can join when you restock!!
I discovered Lola Bean just before you guys announced you were carrying it and I am finally putting a first skein to work. I have been walking by and stroking the yarn before a few months now (longer than that really but who's counting 🤣)
I love too many of your kit choices. Ahh, I can't decide. I want them all, and then you had to show the cotton blend which is perfect for South Florida but that didn't help either because I now can't decide if it would be better to make one that I can wear most of the year or do I want one for when I'm cold. Ahh!
😱 OMG Stephen there so many beauties in these kits! How can I choose? All I know is my kit must include a rust or saffron colors ... I can’t forget orange... and OH NO HOLD ME BACK I CAN’T STOP I watched the videos three times already ...🤦🏻♀️😻 Tu
I love golden colors, so there will be A LOT of kits that have gold saffron and rusty tones in them. We are also receiving some La Bien Aimée kits very soon, so you'll have lots of beautiful options to choose from.
Oh man I am so excited! October is my birthday month, and this will be my first KAL, and it all just works out perfectly! Bring on the color and fun!! :D
I know how super busy you are with your shawlography MKAL. After it’s all done will you bring back some the yarn. I was too late to grab the Walk collection Marine Sky.
Hi eveyone ! My First kal and mkal. Let's see if i'm able to reach the end... Could so tell me how to order one of these wonderful kits. I've been trying all ways. But failed. Hard start ! Thanks for your help
ohhhhhh noooooo this looks so fun but i have so many projects rn but i’m sosososo tempted edit: ok i caved in getting this as a bday present for myself
I am never off work for the launch either. I was just on the website, but i don't see how to see the yarn kits for this project. If you didn't see the launch did you miss it???
Glad to know some tags will be available separately. Not sure if I'll go for a kit but when I did the Hiberknitalong, I made my own kit and would have loved to add the tag. That being said, I love the kits! Especially those with BRIGHT or NEON pops!!! And pink :) Love Salmon Sorbet, Safron Trees, Pink Juice, Tangerine Tart (though I want the pink to be hotter! Haha) but especially Fire Cherry!! This will be my first MKAL/westknits MKAL
Hi Stephen - great video! Loved all of the color combinations ... so many to choose from! I'm a newbie to knitting and just know the very basics so I was wondering how advanced this project is? Also will there be any tutorials as each week is unveiled? Thanks for your help. Kris K from CT 🧶🌻🙂
I was given the lava lake yarn and pattern as a gift, but could I use the yarn for the shawlography or is it not contrast-y enough? I could just go and stashdive, though...
I definitely have some merino options, but I'm wondering how will this play with a completely unexpected and different personality fiber such as linen/cotton blend? Is it a risk I'm willing to take??
Very excited for the MKAL to get started! Random question: does anyone know what shawl pattern that is about three in from the left? The low hanging one with the wavy stripes and the bubble edge?
LoveLoveLove these kits! I´m just ondering...Are people yellowshy in general? There might be bit of yellow here and there but rarely a yellowbomb. There are some fantastic yellow kits, but they are the pop against gray or green... Am I the only yellowaholic around?
I LOVE yellow! It's my favorite color! I usually use yellow as an accent so most of the yellow kits feature one or two shades of yellow along with other contrasting tones. You can go full on with your shades of yellow for Shawlography.
Yes, I only showed about half of the kits here and there are several green kits that will appear on Wednesday. I will post more photos of our MKAL kits on Instagram tomorrow and Wednesday. :)
If we don't know what the final shawl will look like, how fo we choose which colour to use? Ie I dont want to use yellow for border and black for inside of pattern. Thank you.
Oh my! I now have Sweater envy. I had in the late 1980s tent envy with the advent of the Cabela's tents. Well now it is your textile patterns. Cool Sweater! Shorts too double wow! Thanks. Is this knit along going to be simpler for us beginners? Thanks again...
This knit along will have a lot of different techniques in it, but I include detailed video tutorials along the way so I would still encourage adventurous beginners to participate and learn lots of new skills with my step by step videos.
So, I can sign up tomorrow at 10? 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Is it ok to ship to Norway? Wheres the prefered place to buy? Your webside or ravelry? BIG Hug from Norway ❤️❤️❤️
Every year Stephen adds a new color to the mkal, it's not going to take long before we're knitting with 20 different colors P.S.: that red Furby on the shelf is terrifying, I'm sorry
Oooh those blue colors are everything!! 😍 it will be so beautiful. Hope you enjoy the MKAL season.

This will be my first Stephen knit along. Can ! Not! Wait! ❤️
It's going to be a really fun and special design!
Me too! I just heard of him recently and am going crazy with excitement. I’ve never knit a shawl so this will be an adventure!
My first one too! Yay us!!
@@OlafsonN just 3 1/2 days. 💃 but who’s counting?
I’ve been wanting to knit one of your designs for a long time but I think this Mkal is the perfect opportunity to do it. I can watch you talking about yarn and colour for hours. Thanks for the positive energy 🌈
I’m a Slipstrvaganza survivor and just love your designs, tutorial videos, and you! Can’t wait to get started!
You are like the guru of the knitting community. The pied piper, the muse that keeps us all interested and moving forward. A BIG Thank you for all you do.

I love how many options there are! For the absolute brightest to the subtle tones, it seems like there is something for everyone :D
And you talking about the purple crowd, as part of the blue crowd I'd say there are some gorgeous blues in there too! Haha but honestly not even just an option for everyone, but multiple options for everyone!
oh i wish I knitted more then the plain old reg stitch you make it all sound so wonderful!! awesome video, your love for your craft is so fun to see : )
I wish I had even half the talent you have in your pinky finget. You are incredibly talented and creative!
OMG, WALK Gobi Roast! Hearts in my eyes!
That lazy swatch is BRILLIANT!
I'm in. Chosen the colors: cream, light grey, middle blue, dark brown and curry. Love it.
Thank you! You always do a great job describing the color choices.
Thanks so much for watching!
Agree Kristen. Stephen is difficult to resist with his color descriptions!
I have my countdown timer set for one of these kits. Loving Steel Burgundy and Crab Call so far
this video is really helpful!!!!!!! I agonized over the colors last year. Thanks
Thanks for watching! I'll share some more videos this week with lots more techniques for mixing colors and showing a lot of color palette examples.
Love all of your colorful kits.
Your lucky to have options in yarns skeins.. we don't get hand dyed yarns here in Kenya
So many kits I'm overwhelmed! Maybe just go with your greys & neon pop - love that one 😁
I believe this is known as ‘awesome’ - it certainly made my day! So fun. & I also love the view out the window; thank you so much - means I’ve got tomorrow to ‘take dictation’, & make my decisions
I’m very much an Autumn girl, so ‘Saffron Tree’ & ‘Camel Sand’ are already on my mind, but who knows.....?

Love your Maxhosa top!! 😍

So many beautiful kits! So hard to chose... looking forward to it.
Oh my goodness 😳😍. I love all the yarns, wow 👏😍😳💖
Wow! The colors are divine. That looks fun.
Dang! I didn’t get notification for this video till Thursday afternoon and every single kit is sold out! Congratulations! They were amazing.
I think I need that steel burgundy! It spoke to me as soon as I saw it!
Hi I don’t knit but I luv to watch. I only crochet.
I love your designs for so long, but have never knitted anyone of them. This will be the first time and I'm a slow knitter. I hope the best. 😁 It can only be beautiful!
In my stash is not one single-colored strand of yarn. So it will be colorful!
Greetings from Germany.
Yay! Got up early in Seattle and got a lovely kit. Silver zuul, which sold out in 20 minutes. Very excited.
Beautiful yarn love the colors. 🙏🏽🕊✨💚
I love your videos and your projects. Can’t wait to sign up for and start Shawlography 2021
Hey stephen loving the Yaku I'm on a limited budget and a beginner to knitting so looking forward to my first knitalong

Face that fear & have fun making a beautiful shawl! I am cheering for you to succeed!
Me too!! So excited.
Sooo many beautiful kits! It's going to be difficult to chose!
Very good explanation of yarns and colors. Only wish you had a 100% plant fiber option :(.
Every one of the kits featured here are gorgeous! I am late to the game and your website says most are sold out! This will be a massive MKAL and I hope I can join when you restock!!
That purple option 💜

Your hoodie is to LIVE for!!! Did you make it? I want it! LOVE it!

Is it already mkal time again! I'm still knitting the border from last year.
I know how super busy you are with your shawlography MKAL. After it’s all done will you bring back some the yarn. I was too late to grab the Walk collection Marine Sky.
Just finding out about your KALs, still working on slipstraganza... But ready to try this real time!!!!!!
Count Cameron is everything! Gawd I need to learn to knit and not just crochet 🧶
Amazing options and colourways! I am so looking forward to this year’s MKAL!

I was given the lava lake yarn and pattern as a gift, but could I use the yarn for the shawlography or is it not contrast-y enough?
I could just go and stashdive, though...
I would go more contrasty for this knit along to emphasize the stitch patterns and details more
@@StephenWest ok, thanks!
Stashdiving is a nice way to spend my last vacation day!
I made 6 combo's, posted on facebook, ravelry and insta and let my yarny friends vote... so far the LolaBeans are in the lead!
I definitely have some merino options, but I'm wondering how will this play with a completely unexpected and different personality fiber such as linen/cotton blend? Is it a risk I'm willing to take??
11:04 he mentions a cotton option.

Love your top, is that pattern available?
It’s a design from Maxhosa, an amazing South African designer.
Ah! I can’t wait!
Very excited for the MKAL to get started! Random question: does anyone know what shawl pattern that is about three in from the left? The low hanging one with the wavy stripes and the bubble edge?
I from Calgary ab Canada i am look at yarn Canada i am not sure what i look for. i love blue color

How about a Mohair dare for this shawl? And mixing different bases: yes don't stress or maybe rather not for this one?
Soooo gorgeous kits 🥳
But I'm really missing green. Will there also be some green kits like the lazy swatch, you showed at the end?
Yes, I only showed about half of the kits here and there are several green kits that will appear on Wednesday. I will post more photos of our MKAL kits on Instagram tomorrow and Wednesday. :)

Were can I finde the kits ?
Do you have patterns?
Super
Can I do this knit along with my own yarns? Delivery to Australia costs the earth and takes forever?
Yes!! You can use these color ideas to build your own kit and participate with any yarn.
What pattern are you wearing ?
I'm wearing a beautiful hoodie by Maxhosa. He does incredible knitwear design!
I will be fast asleep in the land of nod at kit release time :-(
Every year Stephen adds a new color to the mkal, it's not going to take long before we're knitting with 20 different colors
P.S.: that red Furby on the shelf is terrifying, I'm sorry
Late as peer usual, but maybe just six months until the next one
How do I buy a kit? First timer here😀
They will all appear here on Wednesday at 4pm Amsterdam time. www.stephenandpenelope.com/collections/mkal-2021-shawlography
