Love what you say at the end of the video about being kind to yourself. I always most never am. Thanks for the reminder❤

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

You are so welcome! 💕

So excited to do this one! I finally received my yarn for it yesterday, so I was checking back to remind myself of how to work the stitches! I fell so much in love with this shawl when it was first released. Funnily enough, I saw the yarn the night before the pattern release, and not realising that a pattern using this base was coming out the next day, I was dreaming of all the potential combinations of the yarn one could use. This identical combination was the one that immediately stood out to me as my favourite. Something about it reminds me of a bright, beautiful spring day from my youth. Not something I can put my finger on exactly, but it warms my heart and fills it with joy. Thank you! 💝

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Aww, I'm so glad to hear that! Enjoy making your Frühling Shawl and I hope to maybe see your finished project someday soon. 💕

[@AmoCultumAlo]

@@ExpressionFiberArts Awe, thank you! I might actually put this one on my Ravelry! I actually got yarn enough to make two so that I could make one for my sister as well! She loves all things ocean-y, so I picked out blues and sandy/white colours for hers! Very excited to see how that one looks 😃💕

[@jsrmusic1]

I’ve been knitting for at least 50 years. I’m STILL learning new techniques. I’ve never tried a German cast-on in all of these years. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Wonderful! I'm happy you learn new things with our patterns. Enjoy! 💕

I adore this lovely shawl! I've been on a week long crafting vacation and today, alas, I'm going back home. I only knitted 2 rows on the Lady Eve. I wanted to do more, but I was too busy making cards and coloring flowers. I'd love to knit this shawl!!! Have a wonderfully lovely day!!!

Another beautiful shawl. I know most of the stitches in this pattern, but the cast on is new to me. It's always great to have these short "how to" videos to watch before I start a project. Thank you for your clear explanation and demonstration.

It's really pretty!

[@chasz2173]

I never learnt how to knit and to be honest I never had any interest in learning. My craft of choice is crochet. But then I discovered this channel and started seeing all these beautiful, exquisite creations and I was sad that I didn’t know how to do them so I bought a pair of needles and I’m slowly learning how to knit. I have no idea when and if I’ll ever be able to create something as wonderful as this shawl but I’m enjoying the learning process. So thank you Chandi. You have definitely inspired me! ❤

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

That is awesome, I'm so happy to hear that. Enjoy your knitting adventure. 💕

It’s nice to see that I’m not the only one with fiddly needles lol I just assumed it was due to lack of experience but I’m really starting to believe it’s the needles fault and not the knitter’s😁beautiful shaw pattern! The yarns looks so dreamy soft🤩

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Thank you! I'm glad you like it!

[@pattigolden1]

German cast-on is my go-to for almost everything....I have some oasis in my stash & I think that'll work. 😉 I may even cast this one on before the westknits MKAL.....I'm considering EFA yarns for that too, it's the color placement that's killing me. 😁

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Hehe, glad to hear that. Enjoy making this shawl and the Stephen West MKAL. 🥰

Not a chance - you are much more coordinated than I am if you can dance and knit at the same time! 😂

[@aleanna1987]

A lovely pattern as always. A little sidenote: Frühling means spring and not fall in German.

[@elfeneule103]

Thank you, exactly what I came here to say.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Yes, we know it means Spring. While the colors the designer chose were inspired by Fall, if you read her pattern description, the pattern name was inspired by "spring."

Dear Chandi! "Frühling" is German and means "spring"... - I hope this inspires like all of your beautiful videos!

I hope so too. 💕

[@silent-red-cender]

Hello, a bit off subject... i started watching your videos from about an antire week and i so much love the personality you bring to each knit .im searching for a gothic shawl style like an old witch in her sugar house and i still have trouble finding a pattern who get to the point in that maleficent esthetic ,i hope this could may bring inspiration for an Halloween project or if you had any suggestions thank you so sincerly

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Glad you enjoy our videos. Have you seen our Allhallows cape www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/allhallows.html ? Not sure if that's what you're looking for but we had this pattern designed a couple of years ago for Halloween. Have a lovely weekend! 💕

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

This one in a darker color might work as well. www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/ondinea.html :)

[@kimcollins3148]

Thank you for video really helped I am confused with pattern, cast on 19sts did rows as they came, I am using one colour only But transition A - Lattice row 3 when I noticed stitch count i am no where near that Any idea what I am doing wrong

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Did you count your stitches at the end of each RS set up row to get a sense of whether some rows had the correct stitch count? Without knowing how many stitches off you are, my guess is that you've either overlooked a yo or the kfb or pbkf. If you have fewer stitches then you need, one of these increases is probably the issue.

[@mikkiwachtel2870]

Watching you knit this brings up a question for you. When you purl, you bring the yarn UNDER the needle. Yet when I purl, and in any place I’ve looked on the Internet, I see that you bring the yarn counterclockwise OVER the top of the needle (and, like you, I do knit continental style).

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Hi Mikki, thank you for your comment. I'm not entirely sure which purl stitches you mean. I watched the video and all the purls I encountered were worked with the yarn wrapped counter-clockwise over the needle. Can you let me know in which part of the tutorial you see them worked the other way around? Thanks and have a nice weekend. 😊

[@mikkiwachtel2870]

@@ExpressionFiberArts I am so sorry, Chandi. I think what had me looking at this cockeyed is that you hold your yarn differently than I do. You have your fingers positioned so that they are below the left needle…I hold the yarn above the left needle. So it was just a positional thing. Please accept my apology.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

@@mikkiwachtel2870 No problem! Thanks for checking!

Frühling is German and it actually means spring. So is it really about the shifting colors I. fall or rather the new colors that come in spring?

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

From the designer: "Frühling is German for “spring,” and I chose the name because “spring” is this shawl’s primary characteristic. The colors actually remind me of the colors of a typical, early fall day in Indiana where I live - the white puffy clouds, the blue sky, the fading green of the trees, and the deep yellow of drying crops in the fields. However, it is actually the texture of the Lattice Lace that inspired this shawl’s name. I love the way this stitch pattern seems fairly ordinary while it’s being worked, but it magically “springs” open to a surprising degree when it’s blocked."

[@Yvonnescraftyadventures]

@@ExpressionFiberArts oh ok thank you that’s I retesting to know. I just thought maybe there was a mistake or sth. Thanks for clearing it up

[@judygoudreau6472]

Lovely but - that’s 3 knitted projects in a row again! Pleeeeaaase can we get more crochet patterns. Knitted is out weighing crochet 3 to 1 for the last little while. I am a real fan of EFA but would appreciate more crochet patterns. Thanks.
