Step-by-Step Instructions to Knit the Easy Seinesation Shawl!

[@lloydphelps1354]

I wait in anticipation for every Friday not just because it is Friday but because your beautiful new patterns are so wonderful to wake up to!! It's like opening up a present every Friday!! The river that runs through this part of the world is the Colorado River!

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Aw, thanks so much! I'm so happy you're here!

[@dianastearns9259]

What a beautiful shawl. The Mississippi River would be amazing to see.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Good luck!

[@ginacurini8799]

I love to read so many of the comments. Thank you to Janica for creating this beautiful shawl. I love water, the color blue, the gentle movement of the waves created by the stitches. . . thank you Chandi for making these weekly patterns available to us. I have to make my mention of the Blackstone River too. It's such a gift of nature and beauty itself. It's one of the little things that thinking about my memories of it makes me smile. So thank you for reminding me of the memories too!

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Wonderful! ❤️

I will have a motion to Danube River in Serbia. A country a moved in 16 years ago now and for love. When ever I miss my home I just stand in front of that river ,watching the colour of its water and all the green surrounding it takes me back home. I also would like to thank you Chandi along with Janica for all this beautiful peace of art you are sharing with us , I feel like every Friday is my birthday with your beautiful free patterns 🎉. Thank you so much😊

Oh my, our Little Duck River is not as majestic as the Seine, but when I was a little girl in here in Tennessee, my brothers and I would slip down the side of the bridge, wade near the banks and walk for miles up the river. We spied on beavers building the dams, floated little walnut shell boats, caught crawfish, and would occasionally knock each other over in the places we knew to be little swimming holes. My Pa taught us to fish there and as a teenager I was baptized down in that river right by the bridge we had grown up fishing from. Rivers hold a special place in my heart. They remind me of the constant renewing and movement of life, and I admit I don’t stop to stare at the river as much now that I am grown. This beautiful shawl is a great reminder of that with its pretty little waves. I hope I make the time to sit on that bridge and knit someday soon now that I think of it! Thanks for the idea! PS the little bridge is out in the middle of nowhere and I won’t be in the way of traffic because I just know someone will think “that might be a bad idea” 😂

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Thank you for sharing your beautiful memories with us! 🥰

[@mrs.stocky2445]

@@ExpressionFiberArts it is amazing how all of these things happened in the same place but I never really strung them all together until now lol. Now I want to go take pictures of where it all happened and write it all down. Thanks for the video and the random spurt of inspiration for a springtime project.

Chandi you are joined by the most talented and nice people- like attracts like! You’ve created a very special place for you and Tim and your whole team and for all of us too…grateful to be a part of it all and always thank you!

Hi. How far have u gone in the MKAL?

[@teresaotworth1684]

I am obsessed with these beautiful colors and how drapey and flowy this shawl is!! 😍😍 I live right near the Ohio River, and I'm praying we are far enough south that we won't get affected by the toxins that have poured into it 🙏

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

I hope so too! 🤞

[@crochetuber]

I love this one! And I hope Janica brings us the sister crochet pattern in the future; that would be lovely ❤️ The thought of a river brought the Yalu River to my mind. I've been reading about brave people from North Korea that had made their way to freedom by crossing that river and going to China. But that, of course, is just the beginning of a long and dangerous journey. Those smoky tones reminded me of a winter night, which are the most likely for them to choose to escape, because the river will be frozen and easier to cross. Thank you, Chandi and Janica, for bringing us this gorgeous shawl pattern.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

My pleasure and thank you for sharing! 💕

[@Celynndora711]

The Potomac River! I was blessed enough to take a boat ride down this river at sunset once. This lovely pattern is so reminiscent of the gorgeous ripples and waves that seem to soothe the soul.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Wonderful!

[@andreakuz9606]

The shawl pattern is awesome! It's perfectly meandering like a river 😍 Strolling alongside the lovely and powerful river Rhine in Germany is always energizing and calming me down. Lovely weekend wishes to all knitters and crocheters across the Globe 🧶

Thank you and good luck to you!❤️

[@gwendyrose8905]

The Missouri River has had a major impact on my life. Since moving to Missouri in the mid-70s, there has only been two years since where I have not lived within 30 miles of this river. It has affected our weather, it has flooded and caused chaos, it has fed nearby creeks, it has provided a home to numerous species and has inspired thousands of artists. When I first saw your video for this pattern, I was immediately reminded of the ripples of the flowing Missouri River (although it's not anywhere NEAR that color!) 😁 Thank you again for your continued generosity. The outtakes were also SSOOOOOO much FUN!!! 😁

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Thank you for sharing! 🥰

[@pika4039]

I look forward to Friday mornings just to watch your lovely and calming tutorials. This is such a beautiful pattern and I can't wait to make one for myself. I would like to mention the Mekong River, which always reminds me of the stories of what my parents (and so many others) went through, during the Vietnam war, to get us here, across the world, to where we are now, the US. I would love to make a version of it for myself to have, to remind me of how wonderful Mother Nature can be. ❤️❤️

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

That's wonderful. Thank you for sharing! 😍

[@TreebeardsHome]

My parents have a home on the Neuse river in North Carolina. It’s so peaceful to sit & watch the fish, birds & plants, while the water ebbs & flows. Thank you for sharing so many beautiful patterns by talented designers. Have a great day. Blessed be.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

That sounds so wonderful! ❤️

[@feeberizer]

I got to visit Paris in April of 1980 and walk along the Seine with my dad. He passed in 2003, so I'm thankful we had that very special time together. Thank you Janica and Chandi for this beautiful shawl with a name that reminds me of all the wonderful memories I have.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

What a lovely memory! I'm so happy it took you back to that time with your dad.

[@lolitawolfe6636]

Fridays, always that special little surprise, anew pattern and more beautiful yarn! I live in New Orleans on the mighty Missisippi! It's is powerful and a " working " river. But love looking at the Potomac River as it flows through our Capitol. This pattern is perfect. You have gathered around you so much talent. Thank you for sharing

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

[@ewakraft5770]

Limmat is the river who flows out of the Lake at Zürich in Switzerland. You can walking next to it, on a small path for houres, protected from the havy car traffic. I really love this pattern and want to try it out. I did somthing similar in crochet a couple times. Now i can learn it with knitting, thank you❣️

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

That sounds amazing!

[@ginacurini8799]

I would love to see a similar pattern in crochet! Please, please share the pattern. I am so intimidated by the knitting. I am going to try to learn, but it would be great to see something similar I know I could do! Thank you!

[@EvieO1950]

We live just a few miles from the beautiful relaxing Ouachita river in central Arkansas. But my favorite river is the Arkansas which starts way up in the Colorado mountains and we’ve been all the way to the head waters. And all the way down to where it flows into the mighty Mississippi. Another lovely pattern and another new skill I need to learn and practice. Thanks so much for all you do for fiber lovers!!!! 🤗😘🤗

The yarn at Expression Fiber Arts is gorgeous! It definitely highlights the beauty of the shawl pattern. I'm an advanced crocheter, but a novice knitter. Watching your videos helps me become a better knitter. Thank you for sharing your love of fiber arts with the world. The river that runs through my town is the Arkansas River.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

I'm so glad our tutorials are helpful! 🥰

[@tanyavanhuissteden9686]

When I’m thinking of a river, I think about the Surinam River in the beautiful country of Suriname. Although I’ve been living in The Netherlands since I’m 19 y/o, I can still recall the smell and feel of the days when we went over there with our parents for a stroll at the waterside or for shaved ice with almond syrup. I’m a crocheter, but this beautiful pattern and stunning yarn calls for a journey that takes me back to the Surinam River, but that also introduces me to the skills of knitting. Perfect!

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Wow, that awesome. I hope you'll enjoy making Seinesation. ❤️

[@dorieknits]

Big Piney River in Houston MO. I am from Alabama so the Big Piney was more like a creek to me. But that being said we spent many wonderful times kayaking this small river while I lived there. Water - whether it be creeks, rivers, lakes or the ocean ....it soothes my soul! I can't wait to knit this wonderful pattern! Thank you Chandi and team

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Love the bloopers at the end! It makes for a great reminder that not everything flows as you planned, but will often branch off into other streams of thought. The Rio Grande does this all through New Mexico, providing small streams that are just as enchanting :-)

Glad you enjoy our tutorials! 💕

I live by a river called, the Santa Ana River. It is a small meandering river that is very near my house. I used to love to ride my horses along it and, in the summer time I would take my dogs down there to run around and play with them in the water. One river I remember fondly though, is the Platt River, it ran behind my dad's house where he grew up, in Nebraska. My dad was so special and important to me. He was an awesome man and the kindest, gentlest person I have ever known. I lost him a couple of years ago, but this was a wonderful memory that was a part of him, remembering his childhood home and the river that ran through his back yard, just down the rolling Hill. Thanks for bringing that to mind. I hope you have a blessed day.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

I'm so sorry for your loos but grateful you have such fond memories of him! 💕💕💕

I love the colors and waterlike ripple to the pattern. I grew up in a small town called Hood River. There is a river called the Hood River which runs from Mt. Hood to the mighty Columbia River. It was there that a wonderful woman named Mildred Kerr took me in hand and taught me to knit. There between the banks of the Hood and the great Columbia River. I am forever grateful.

Every other week I travel from my home in the northwest portion of Rhode Island to my daughter's home just outside of Albany, NY to watch my 3 grandchildren for the week. I always bring a WIP.

I grew up in Krakow, Poland. The main River that goes from the mountains in the south of Poland to the Baltic Sea in the North of Poland is Wisla ( Vistula ) river. There are many songs written about this River. One of the most important rivers in Poland. There were many important historical and celebratory events that happened at this River. My Dad took me on the River cruise when I was young, he passed away in 2018. Great memories. Thank you Chandi. Cheers!

You always include and inspirational or affirming card or book mark. I have them posted around my dresser mirror and work computer. Thank you for all the beauty inspiration you give. This pattern reminds me of the 30 days of knitting kal that I'm still working on. My river is the Rio Grande it runs through NM and my home city Albuquerque.

JoAnn, I hope you take the plunge. I just started learning to knit last year about this time. I watched a ton of KZbin videos. There are a lot for beginners (no experience at all). I chose to use the Continental style as I have crocheted for years and the yarn handling is in the left hand. I thought knitting with the same yarn hold would be easier for me. I think it was a good choice.

Chandi, thank you for your tutorials. You make it look so easy. But that's not the only reason I watch your tutorials. Your voice is also calming. It's great to just listen to you and relax at the end of a hard day. You can also relax by going tubing in our local rivers, San Marcos, Comal and Guadalupe rivers are the big three near Austin. But there is also a secluded place in Austin that offers a relaxed floating option--Barton Creek. If you ever come to town, be sure to work in a tubing trip while you're here.

That sounds like fun! I'm so happy you enjoy our videos.

What a lovely pattern. I can see the inspiration of a river especially with the colors chosen. Makes me think of the Mississippi River in winter.

Thank you! 🥰

So many great comments! I agree, I always look forward to the Friday newsletter for new delicious patterns and all of the other newsletters for new inspiration and all of the stunning colorways that you share. Thanks so much! I’ve seen the most obvious river in my area here, so I’ll choose another - North Platte. ❤ 🧶

I enjoy reading through all the comments as well! 💕 Good luck.

"Boop and boop" :-> i make such words up too hehe - a river: Euphrates , Nile, Rhone, Meuse...... my brain works that way, it flows~ i hadn't noticed it was called Seinesation until you mentioned it- it made me mom sick : she grew up in Paris, left it to come to the States where my brother and i were born and lived there again a couple of other times in her life- it certainly brings up memories and makes me missed her and bring up other knitting memories...as i said...how so many thoughts run through my heart and mind in an instant!! Anywho, as my brother loves to say, merci for a new beautiful pattern, and thank you for offering some of your yarn to someone. Shabbat shalom to yous !! :->

Sepik is the largest river in Papua New Guinea… it’s amazing to see the children bathing and woman putting flowers in their hair. The water is fresh and not polluted 🥰 so freeing

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

That sounds amazing!

Love your videos. I look forward to them ever Friday. My grandmother lived on a small river in PA when I was a kid. It is called the Lackawanna River. I have great memories of playing at her house. There was a tree that was half in the river. It was my "pirate ship". Thanks for the giveaway!

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

That is awesome. Thank you for sharing your memories! Good luck. 💕

I grew up in Terrace, a small town in northwestern British Columbia. The Skeena River flowed right through town, and it was our go to for salmon fishing. Such good memories. Thanks for giving such clear direction, makes it easy for us visual learners

You're most welcome! Enjoy. ❤️

Lovely pattern. I would have to comment Cape Fear River, it is not only my back yard view but my husband's favorite "sanctuary" when he needs to escape in his boat for some personal worship time.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Love that!
