I don´t even knit. I´m here for the meditation. *thx*, Stephen 🧡

[@arthurdyer6551]

I’ve always been scared of brioche but “in Stephen we trust”… the MKAL is a perfect opportunity to try out new techniques and these videos are fantastic to help out… can’t wait to learn brioche officially!

[@StephenWest]

You can do it!

[@Eiaknits2012]

I’m excited to try it myself 😊

[@danielaschmidt2646]

Me too, I will try a bit first 😅

[@bonniethompson3211]

He makes it so easy! I did a previous mystery shawl and braved the brioche. Loved his instructions. ❤

[@marievan4393]

I will try too! Thank you Mr West. Hi from Egypt

[@veroHerm]

This is my first KAL ever and I have been waiting very impatietly for todays clue. I must get me some mohair.... Thank you so much for this fun way to learn new techniques. I have figured out why I love your videos btw. Its like taking a dance class. "Step,step, turn,, sliiide, step"

[@StephenWest]

Welcome! I'm happy to hear you are having fun.

[@gracec.4399]

I have to say that you are the best knitting teacher I've seen. Thanks so much for this, Stephen!

[@lisalister1]

Love, love, love this shawl so far! One of my absolute favorites. Keep the genius coming, Stephen! Can't wait to see where we go next.

[@knittinlisa2392]

I think I’m going to try an eyelet section in the middle of the brioche section… so brioche, eyelet brioche. That way I can do both! I’m loving this! ❤

[@StarflowerStables]

Stephen no idea where you are headed! You always blow my mind with your creativity 😮😊

[@juliespeight7835]

Oh Stephen, your demo’s are so clear and easy to follow. The thoughts of doing this project overwhelmed me. Watching this video has filled me with confidence. I will buy some wool and give this a try, and I’m confident I’ll be successful and very proud of my achievement. Wish me luck. Thank you. X

[@StephenWest]

Yay! Best of luck...you can do it!

はじめまして。いつも素敵なショールを見せて下さってありがとうございます。私はアメリカ式編みなので、とても助かります。母はハンドと機械編みのプロでした。母の手から生まれるドレスやセーターを思い出します。生きていたら、貴方の作品に驚嘆していたでしょう。貴方の作品が大好きです。私は母の様にはなれなかったけど、編み物を楽しんでいます。

[@marionsworld24]

First time with brioche... I'm excited to be knitting it at long last. I've been going to try it for years and just never got around to it. It's all looking brilliant so far! Thank you Stephen

[@StephenWest]

Wonderful!

[@juanitac1337]

I have never mastered brioche before but with your great instructional videos I have got it today, thank you so much! I'm really loving knitting this shawl

[@StephenWest]

Wonderful!

[@LolaMcShambles]

It's been a while since I knit brioche, but I'm really enjoying it! Holding my mohair double as a contrast as I have an extra skein anyway (and perhaps I will use some other mohair colours at a later date as well). I am thinking of perhaps omitting the second brioche section and swapping it for eyelets. Not sure yet, I'll make up my mind when I get to that section 😉 As for the next clue, you're always full of surprises Stephen, I really have no idea! Love modular knitting so I wouldn't mind more of that or maybe some other playful shapes next to our semi circles, triangles, bubbles/eyelets and stripy brioche. Can barely wait to see what you came up with!

[@Claudia.0370]

Woohoo, I'm happy about this Brioche part!! Even that I've never been knitting the 2 colour brioche so now it's the opportunity to learn this as well and I'm looking forward to starting with Clue 2!! Thank you so much, Stephen, for your always brilliant ideas for the MKALs. 🥳🥳💜💕💜

[@marshalucky]

I couldn't do it until he made it simple and explained the concept. Even how to fix a mistake. Thank you ❤😊

[@margaretrodee3519]

First time ever doing brioche! I loved it!!!!! I don’t even have a guess as to what’s next!

[@StephenWest]

Yay! Brioche is so much fun once you get the hang of it.

[@simonefrey7116]

I like it so far. I wonder if we'll tend to the 3 semicircles starting edge in one of the future sections. And I get architectural vibes of a seating / floor plan ... the kind of schematic you can pick and buy your seats at the opera. No idea if the inspiration exists and where ... but maybe it's in the future! Imagine that, a knitting pattern inspired concert arena! GoGoDynamo! Maybe sports?

[@surrattcindy]

After following this last week and this, i had to cave it and buy this pattern! Looking forward to joining in! Great job, Stephen! ❤

[@StephenWest]

Welcome!

[@JaxYarnArt]

Love love love it❤ thus far ❤❤ thank you for the brioche parts! I now finally can try a proper brioche first knit 😂 And the back side of the bubbles with the yarn I'm using look like lil' sweet smelling flowers. Tuesday 15th; Ready for Clue 3 🤩

[@Liz.Green789]

Beautiful clue! I thought brioche would be next. I look forward to trying it for the first time.

[@claudiknits]

Love EVERYTHING about it 😍🤩 ..I already plan a second one with orange 😅🎉

[@luzmiraurquietagonzalez172]

Esta es mi primera vez, desde Chile, muy feliz de tejer este chal. Graciaaaas!!!

[@nanfredman1991]

This is where I was glad I had purchased Stephen’s brioche course! Had not started it yet, but took time to work through two swatches.🥰 So helpful! Going to try it with mohair paired with CC. Wish me luck. (And I put in a lifeline, too.)

[@StephenWest]

You got this!

[@katibere1966]

LOVE your colors!! This shawl is gorgeous!

[@mrbqkc]

ok I finished up clue 1 and now I'm learning brioche AND using mohair for the first time!! I'm going to go grab some thicker yarn and needles to practice first :) I love my shawl so much so far.

[@StephenWest]

Wonderful!

[@ChemCath]

The only thing missing is the video instructions for the eyelet option. I’m not doing it but I know some folks are. Stephen says to “skip ahead to the eyelet section,” but there isn’t one. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@UFO13957]

Missing It too 🥴

[@docpammiller]

Did you find the instructions? I cannot find them. I do not know how to do eyelets.

[@ChemCath]

@@docpammiller If you go back to last year’s MKAL, Clue 2 of Geogradient, there used to be an eyelet section in there that gives the basic technique. I would email S & P and ask. But if you follow the written directions to the letter, you should be able to figure it out as well.

[@keanes2v2v]

There’s a mistake in the bubble instructions- a bracket is missing

[@jannparkes356]

Is there an example of the Clue 2 Eyelets version that has been knitted for us to follow along with? Or just a photo to show how it will turn out? Loving this MKAL! Thank you!

[@StephenWest]

At the end of the video there is a photo of @RiotousAssembly's test knit. She knit the eyelets version :)

[@jannparkes356]

@StephenWest Thank you, Stephen.

[@FibreBound]

Yay for brioche! I’m using mohair held with my cc for the mohair dare. It’s so fun to play!

[@lisafine4443]

Excited to start clue 2 :) I’m a very new knitter (less than a year) and just wanted to say thank you for the detailed patterns as well as the wonderful tutorial videos. I’m going to be adventurous and try the Brioche version.

[@Lisa-vb3gn]

Nothing in knitting is actually difficult-it’s just new. Slow down, take your time, check and double check the pattern, watch the video as many times as you need and you’ll be just fine. I did my first brioche on a SWMKAL a couple of years ago and it turned out great. A couple of mistakes that I have to search for to notice them. When I was done my first reaction was-why do people make such a stink about brioche? Probably because it does take time and effort-but it’s more of a long walk than a gymnastics routine.🤣

[@StephenWest]

Wonderful!

[@MarinaGvozdeva]

Love brioche and will definitely use mohair dare double as contrasting :) it's going to be so much fun!

[@MrsAChery]

I’m thinking to do one section of eyelets and one section of brioche! 😃 Now…which one to do first...

[@lisavermey6322]

Yay! Was hoping for brioche 😊

[@michaelgoldschmidt5221]

Brioche looks nice but i take the easy way. Nice that you give a nonbrioche-option 😊

[@StephenWest]

Both versions are amazing! The eyelets will give your shawl even more drape.

[@lynngates1662]

EEEK! That's the kit I'm using ❤❤😍😍 I love picking these colors up every day 😁 (the Spharia and Moss at the very start) Gotta say, that green mohair is very appealing and now thinking maybe I should have Dared.

[@vonciagould2640]

Do you have a video for the eyelet portion?

[@rteguchi]

Wow!!! You’re awsome!!!!! Have no idea about clue 3 and where you are going!! 😂😂😂 But I will go with you! 😂😂😂 My first MKAL, my first shawl (designed by you) AND, my first brioche!!!!! 😮 I’ll try! Thank you for this journey Stephen!!!! 😊 Regards from Brazil! ❤

[@StephenWest]

I'm so happy you are enjoying the adventure!

[@Rosalee_Hansen]

Love the look of this shawl! 🩷 Question, you say one can skip forward to the section of the alternative version. But I am not able to find such a section in the video? 🤔

[@StephenWest]

This video covers the brioche option. You can skip ahead in the pattern for the eyelet section.

[@sharonrobillard5163]

This is a very sweater worthy shawl… maybe we are adding some cables with lace sections ? 🍁clue 3 is a surprise for sure!

[@ginninadances]

That was a refreshing brioche practice

[@allisonmarieknits]

Excited to add brioche to this shawl! I feel like more modular sections or short rows must be coming bc this shawl is already pretty wide but needs depth

[@PaulaGolding]

I have just dyed my mohair for the mohair dare... Cant wait to start.... I am thinking about doing one row of eyelets and one of brioche. I guess that inner part will be picked up and filled in. Hopefully with some cool techniques. I also guess that the half circles come back later somehow. And triangles, I expect to be triangles somewhere.... ( based on the graphics)

[@melissacullen910]

Great guessing!

[@nicolelafontaine1720]

What a beautiful design !!! WOW !!!

[@maryquinn9222]

Looks like it’s finally time for me to learn brioche! 🤩

[@StephenWest]

You can do it!

[@marianneandersen5907]

I love this clue 🤪🥳🥰 Two colour brioche and Bubbles 🎉

[@theeggtimertictic1136]

6:33 I love the fact that theres a shawl stitch within a shawl ... Shawlception! 😊

[@resourcedragon]

A sort of fractal shawl. And, given those little semi-circles it begins with, this is definitely a fractal shawl.

[@MariaPomirska-k4i]

I’ve been a bit slow , only just starting clue 2 (23/10/24). Loving the pattern so far . First time brioche starts tomorrow!

[@bethohlhorst6032]

That is just amazing !!!! happy for that MKAL!

[@StephenWest]

Woohoo! Happy MKAL to you

[@mariarogel2006]

Brioche section looks really cool! Is the mohair 1 strand strong enough to hold or is it better to use 2 strands mohair for extra fluff? Also can we use CC+mohair dare held together? Thanks.

[@klarameijer1889]

I love it! Brioche it is!

[@knittinginmauritiuspodcast]

Oh I hope they will be some stacked stitches pattern going on in your shawl this time.

[@TheWellerMade]

Is there an eyelet demo coming?

[@kayholland3846]

Disappointed there is no eyelet section even though it isn't hard...wld like to see what it looks like 🎉

[@sifolden]

I think you will incorporate color pop welts - it seems to be a new technique you like.

[@valeriecarroll6811]

Where is the sample of the eyelet section🙁

[@margaretrodee3519]

It’s there!! Look again!

[@mariarogel2006]

Other than a long i cord bo in the end, I think clue 3 will continue from the bottom part of the shawl although it’s straight, so another guess is continue upwards with new techniques

[@SunflowerAV]

This is awesome! HELP - I purchased two balls of mohair, different colors, very close. Can I use both colors at different times or should I use one strand of each so that I work with two strands and still have a lot more left over for the other section(s)? hmmm

[@StephenWest]

Either way would work! It's your project so do whichever makes you happy

[@AnaMSunflower]

​@@StephenWest😍 Thank you!

[@trilonyte]

Hi Stephen! What is the lavender sweater you're wearing at the end? It's lovely! I've knit a couple of your patterns but haven't joined any MKALs yet. I love listening to these videos as I knit though! Thanks for the company :)

Im way behind with this project but hy is the first row of the second brioche section different then the first row of the first brioche section PLEASE

[@feedubrouillard6417]

Oh my gosh🤩🤩🤩It's sooooo beautiful 🥰🥰🥰

[@moniquelachniet4693]

I would choose to use the mohair as the main colour in the brioche. It would speak more on the right sight

[@resourcedragon]

My guess is that the next section is going to include triangles created with short rows. I wasn't sold on the idea of the unicorn mohair with the orange and the pale peach but it's working!

[@artemisnighthuntress3709]

Why not do alternating brioche and eyelet sections. I was thinking one color brioche, and add Mohair to the eyelet section. Also you could make the sections smaller if you wanted to do both brioche and eyelets with both colors and Mohair. Just a suggestion, lol.

[@resourcedragon]

Yes, I was thinking a band of eyelets in place of the first brioche section and then doing the second brioche section as given. But, in my case it's purely theoretical as I've not joined in the MKAL. (I've got other projects I'm still finishing.)

[@artemisnighthuntress3709]

@@resourcedragon same here thanks for letting me know your ideas😊

[@sharstjerne5504]

this is exactly what I was thinking. I am going to use a rogue new colour (not mohair as I cannot stand the feel of it). I will do the Brioche first then the eyelets I think. glad someone else is having the same thoughts.

[@SmoffiO]

I wonder if the patterns on Stephens jumper are pointers to where we're going? 🤔

[@louisepearson5723]

Love this MKAL, Question - section 6 row 1 RS is different to section 5, the video said the sections would be a repeat. Which is right? Can anyone help please

[@StephenWest]

Section 5 is bubbles and Section 6 is either Brioche or Eyelets. You will repeat the whole sections so your project for this clue will go brioche, bubbles, brioche, bubbles. You can follow the written instructions to guide you through the repeats.

[@SuperQuoll]

@@StephenWest The first rows of the brioche sections are different - is that right?

[@mandyrawlinson7687]

I’m disappointed that there isn’t a video of the eyelet section so we can see it with the whole shawl too!

[@carolyndaly4764]

Love this! I’m using mohair dare and brioche. I have plenty mohair to double strand it. Very excited! No clue where it’s going after this, could be bricks like dynamite sticks or Stephen will come up with a whole new technique but I will wait to find out. 🧶🤩

[@barbarawills7289]

I am feeling something REALLY outrageous. I don't see any big holes or deep textures on the surface yet...

[@rgmartin1040]

Is there a chance one of the next two sections include some mosaic knitting.

[@resourcedragon]

That's the sort of vibe I'm getting.

[@SuperQuoll]

The set up for the brioche is different for the two sections - is that right? why the difference?

[@janellegrange7964]

I'm thinking large wispy holes to match the name "gO gO dynamO.

[@haleyselene]

Uh oh. My MC is super similar in color to my mohair... can I swap my MC and CC for this section and then swap them back later? Or do I hold it with my MC and not swap?

[@mariarogel2006]

How do you do 2 strands of mohair with only one ball? Thanks.

[@larrosanga]

Hello!😊 You just have to take the beginning and the end of your yarn ball.Hope that will help you

[@makoleva2317]

Thank you so much!

[@deborahmead5978]

In clue 2, section 5, row 9. Is it supposed to be knit 5 in between the knit below stitch? The other end of the parentheses is not there. Kind of confusing.

[@chantalb.8065]

For the eyelets section, shall I use mohair only or mohair held together with the non-mohair contrast yarn? And If I use both in the first eyelets section, will it be ok if I use mohair only as a CC in the second eyelets section 6? Sorry if you already explained on your video, I am not sure to understand as I am French

I recommend holding one strand of mohair.
