Ah, Stephanie! This was as great as I thought it would be! I'm going to have to rewatch to absorb all the Half and Half goodness! Thanks for breaking all of these down for us. I truly can not decide on colors yet... the options are all gorgeous.

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thank you so so much!! So many options!!❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for all the tips and tricks and helpful videos to knit the half and half wrap. I have started one in blues that will take a long time to complete!

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thank you for watching! Oh beautiful blues!!

[@lewnuh]

Loved this! So fun to see all your color combos in one video - can't wait to see your next one!!

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@michelleg6899]

That was a great, informative episode! Thank you for sharing! I had the idea pop into my head at the end when you were snuggling all your wraps that if a person didn't want to use them as shawls any longer, a person could sew 4 of them together as a big blanket, if they were the same measurements!

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thank you so much! Absolutely - they're a bit of a shlanket to begin with and could totally be a really cool huge blanket if knit to the same dimensions. Or if they were the same dimensions, a bit of pick-up and modular knitting for the "spaces in between" could be done too for a "quilty" look.

[@kiwijenniferknits]

Thank you Stephanie, for this amazing detail of all your Half and Half wraps. I too love them all and am planning to make one in 2024. I`ve even gone so far as to order the Linen Quill from Purl Soho and this week it arrived to me in Canada - yippee! Happy knitting to you! 🤗🙋‍♀

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Oh thank you so much Jennifer! Take care and stay cozy!

[@lydiasobocinski9651]

Happy day!

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thank you!!!💖

[@theyarngoeson]

This was great! All of the beautiful colors you picked - they all look so good! 🎉

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thank you so much!!

[@lorengaffin4469]

Love your half/half triangle shawls. My current one is my default project as I knit major ones, I.e. sweaters, Holiday gifts, and my jelly roll blanket for my grown daughter’s 40+ birthday. Very impressive. I tend to get too relaxed while knitting garter stitch and fall asleep. Thanks for sharing!❤

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thank you so much! What colors are you knitting your current one?? It’s such a great background comfort knit. ❤️❤️❤️

[@bethpaschal7859]

Loved this Stephanie! Thank you

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Glad you liked it!! Thank you for watching Beth!

[@suetupper9162]

Omg!...what a fabulous video!...I am so addicted to these wraps!...I have yarn stashed ahead for more...lol...yours are absolutely beautiful, and the last one is gorgeous!....the amount of useful information from your videos are wonderful!...thank you

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thank you so much! So many options for different color combos - endless possibilities! Happy knitting 🧶 💖

[@christineferoli1750]

That was so fun. Thanks for sharing Stephanie. I just love all your color combos! I have made 3. But definitely making another in 2024, since I have so much linen quill. Which I love. Thinking pickle and the limey green for spring! Cheers🤗

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thank you for spending some time with me! Spring greens sound lovely!💚💚

[@noelleparris9451]

Stephanie, thank you so much for this review of your wraps! They are all gorgeous, and I am tempted to make one in Quartz now for the warmer, squishier factor. I've made two, and love them both (Rosewood Pink w/Stonewall Gray & Kiln Red w/Stillwater Blue). Great pattern, so many possiblitiies. I also was taken with your Coloring Book Tee. My word but it's beautiful! Your sweater (such great color choices!) made me want to buy the pattern... so I just did 😊. Thank you for the inspiration you give and the information you share 👍💥❣

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Gorgeous combos!! Thank you so much for your kind words. Take care!💖

[@xusblasco5563]

So fun and lovely! Love they all. Thanks 🌷

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@ThePattiw]

Gorgeous! I waited a bit to watch this so I could have something uplifting and beautiful to help me feel better. I really need to knit another one and all your colour choices have inspired me!

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Sending love!!

[@arianahart5383]

Such a fun video! Your color combos are always inspiring. Time to pull mine back out! :)

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thank you Ariana!!! Such a cozy winter knit!

[@marjarijnsburger3244]

Your collection of half and half wraps is beautiful. Love the color combinations. 💗

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thank you so much!

[@lauriebilbruck1526]

Very enjoyable to see your shawl collection. I see you are not fearful of just picking colors you love and marrying them up. I remember I heard something from Kaffe Fassett saying something like all colors go together, which is evident in his glorious quilts. I see that on your stripe version you went with a #4 needle and then back to a 260 stitch cast on. Would you go with the same needle and count on a future one? Your podcast is beautiful, warm and one of my favorites.

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thank you so much!! Yes to playing with color!!! I think either US3 or US4 works fine. US4 is just an airier fabric. I just went with whatever I felt like doing, no strong preference once way or the other!

[@lauriebilbruck1526]

Thanks, Stephanie. Understand you just wanted to change it up 😃

[@goswamigeeta]

Awesome collection of half n half shwals.

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thank you so much 😊

[@moniquem8093]

Hello from San Diego. Just found your channel. I made the same purl soho shawl with the same colors you made. So pretty

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Welcome!! and yay!!

[@LottaSocks]

How nice to see your Collection!! Wayyyy back, before I made my first H&H, I watched your video showing how you styled these wraps. Tipped me over the edge into H&H Land! I’ve made 2, yarn on hand for #3, but… I’m actually thinking of sweaters using L.Q. (Light to dark blues, Coloring Book pattern/stripes!!!) The Quartz yarn looks scrumptious! Annnnd, I’ve just finished S. West’s Chevron Shenanigans shawl, have enough leftover to make another … “Not-quite Half&Half” triangle like yours. 4 variegated, fading colors. Thanks for more ideas!

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

YES! So many lovely options. Happy knitting!

[@kaywright1978]

Your inspiration for your color combos is so romantic! I like how you can pick a shawl with colors to suit your mood for the day.

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@marshawoods2634]

Currently working on my fourth. I love the infinite color combinations. Yours are beautiful!

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thank you! What colors are you knitting your current one?

[@marshawoods2634]

@@EdibleThoughtsMakes Baked Earth & Honey Pink. There's a Pale Mushroom & Bright Flamingo in my future. ❤

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

@marshawoods2634 gorgeous combos!

[@theresamccarthy1684]

Thank you for sharing! I love your color combinations and that you gave each one a name, makes each one so special! I think it’s wonderful when we find a pattern and yarn that makes us want to knit it again! I find it so comforting knowing how it will turn out and know I’m already going to love it when it’s done!

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thank you! Yes 100% with you on finding comfort in knowing what’s going to happen and that we’ll love the end result 💖

[@barbarawatson1667]

Great video!

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@barbarawatson1667]

I’m just doing my second wrap now with linen quill which I love knitting with.

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

So excited for you!

[@mandyrawlinson7687]

Loved seeing every one of your beautiful wraps!! I’m on my second one but have stash for 3 more! I’m not sure why these are so addictive but I am so hooked on them!!

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thank you! What colors are you knitting your current one??

[@vivianpowell1732]

Woke up at 2:00 a.m. and decided to watch this video again . Ah, the H+HTW in all its seductive wonderfulness times seven. You've worked your Linen Quill color magic with each one, and my favorite combination from your collection is the Dark Iris + Chestnut Red. I love your inspiration for the Love Note one-triangle version and the way its details add to the epistolary theme, even to Dark Denim suggesting ink. I've found that the Soirée Scarf pattern from Purl Soho makes a nice mini version of the H+HTW, because it too has an increase half and a decrease half but on a smaller scale. Each half can be a different color, like the half wrap. I'm using Quartz for my Soirée Scarf in Cardinal Red and Lavender Moon, and one skein per color is enough for the scarf.

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thank you so much for your kind words Vivian! Your scarf sounds delightful!

[@thebotanicalknitter]

I haven’t knit this pattern, but you’ve inspired me. “Love Letters” is so beautiful!

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thank you so much Emily!!💖

[@cherylclough4309]

Just found your channel and SO glad I did. I am working on my second 1/2 & 1/2 wrap. I was hoping to get it done as a Christmas present for my granddaughter who is a freshman at University of Kentucky. So, my colors are a royal blue and white-the school colors. However, I broke my hand and couldn’t knit for over a month. I’m back to it now, but won’t be finished by Christmas. My first one was in the very same color as your first one. I love the pattern, the knitting and the wearing of it. I like the idea of just knitting 1/2 the triangle, I might try that myself. Thanks for your video.

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Lucky granddaughter! Thanks for joining me in this creative space!

[@bonnielincicome8055]

German short rows are the way to go for me too 😊 I have knit the Bermuda scarf too many times to remember 😅 Nice work!

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thank you!💖

[@debclements7605]

Lovely color combos!! And I’m definitely going to give Quartz a try!! Thanks for doing this video!!

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thank you so much!

[@Grwmslays435]

Your shawls are beautiful. Thanks for sharing the sizes that you made. I have a small frame so I think I'll try the smaller one. Now to decide on the colors. Lol!

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thank you! Happy knitting!

[@jenngee5]

These are beautiful! This pattern is on my list for next year. I am very inspired by the Quartz!!

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thank you so much! I love the Quartz color options too (though there are not as many colors to choose from as Linen Quill) - so beautiful in their heathered loveliness and drape!

[@stacya3751]

Love your stack of half and halfs! So beautiful. I have been collecting linen quill colors so I can have options to make another.

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thank you Stacy!! Excited to see your future one!!

[@EAHsongs]

What a beautiful stack of shawls ❤ I really enjoy your color choices and combinations. I haven’t knit this wrap yet, but I’m seriously considering it 😊 Thanks for sharing ❤

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thank you so much! Happy knitting (if you choose to cast on 😆)!❤️

[@adriennehallgoolsby2919]

Do you think pink pop and red poppy would go good together? I’m thinking of that color combo. 🎉

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Yes!!

[@stefmakesallthethings]

I am SO amazed at how you have 7 of these Half & Half Triangle Wraps. The ones in moody, dark colors are my fave. How lovely to have such a collection. How do you store them? In a drawer or do you hang them up?

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Folded in a stack in my closet! Though one is laid over a chair, one is on my bed, etc.

[@paperknits]

This was great! Love seeing all your different versions. How easy is it to put down and pick back up again and remember where you're at? That's been a deterrent for me, because I think it would be a long term project

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

I say it is but everyone's idea of what that means is different. The rows are long and all knit stitches and there isn't anything to count besides the cast on. Definitely a long-term project!

[@lolam.9291]

Your shawls look very nice… I am currently knitting this pattern in fingering weight yarn using GSR as well and it is one of the most boring patterns I have ever done 😫; and unfortunately, I always have to finish what I started.

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

A sea of endless garter isn’t for everyone. Maybe it’s okay to unravel and use the yarn for something else….? It’s quite a big project to slog through if you’re so bored…. I guess maybe ask yourself why you’re knitting it if you aren’t enjoying the process? Is it worth it to you?

[@freshwindbrightsky]

Hi Stephanie, and thanks for this video! I'm slogging away at my half and half. It's slow because I only knit when I'm at Dr's offices, etc. I'm thinking of adding some stripes to the second half. What is your technique for joining a new color, and weaving in ends? I imagine you just tuck them in the edge? Also wow wow wow I LOVE the one you made in Quartz! I have my first Grandchild on the way and I'm thinking....baby blanket!

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thank you so much! I weave them in either by duplicate stitching or going up and down in the garter bumps (not sure that's very informative but my brain can't figure out how to explain it otherwise currently lol). I cross the ends when joining in a new color before weaving them in to make sure there's no hole. Happy knitting!

[@debrahookham1620]

I have yarn coming for my second half and half. I like you only used a small amount of the 3rd skein. So I only ordered two of each color. I've been wondering how many stitches I should cast on. I think 230 will be the lucky number. I love having a mindless knit in addition to a sweater on the needles.

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Excited for you!!! What colors???

[@delta8885]

Thanks, this was very useful! Can I ask what the main colour of the sweater that you’re wearing is? Is it Oatmeal Grey in Linen Quill?

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Yes, it is! Thanks for watching!

[@serenityinstitches8236]

Thanks for sharing! 😊I consider knitting this every year when Pearl Soho has their Black Friday sale. And, every year it gets put aside so I can work on holiday gift knitting. I’m thinking this would be a great Christmas cast-on with some stash yarn. Do you think Knitpicks Hawthorne fingering would make a good wrap? It’s 80% Fine SW Highland Wool & 20% Polyamide. Or would you recommend something with more drape? Thanks so much, Christina

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

I feel like something more drapey and lighter might work better for such a big project? Knit Picks Hawthorne definitely leans on heavier fingering weight or light sportweight and has a really tight twist (which makes it great for socks!) - you could still do it but maybe go up a needle size or two to a US4 or US5. The final fabric would probably feel heavy but I don't know for sure since I haven't done it myself. I would recommend you swatch and see what you think! Otherwise I might go with a single ply merino or something with silk or alpaca for more drape. Hope that helps!

[@KnitandGrace]

They are all so amazing Stephanie! Your stack of wraps is truly inspiring. I may have actually picked up some Linen Quill to make my second one in the recent sale. 🫣

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thank you Mia!!! So excited to see what colors you will be using!!!!
