How to Knit a Color-Changing Shawl! (Easier than you think!)! Muscadine Shawl

MUSCADINE SHAWL - www.expression...
Notes From the Designer:
•A wonderful and delightfully simple pattern! You'll have it memorized in no time.
•Although simple to make, the finished result is stunning. Choose any combination of colors - do stripes, a gradient, a solid - even choose variegated yarn for this pattern. It can handle it!
•I named it Muscadine as the colors and comfy yet stylish look reminded me of wandering through a vineyard, sampling the muscadine wine as the sun sinks over the mountains on a crisp day.
•You can't run out of yarn. Nope. The shawl gets bigger as you knit rows, so you can just stop when it's the size you want! No playing yarn chicken.
•I chose our lovely Oasis Camel Silk fingering weight yarn due to the drape, softness and luscious sheen. It's perfect for shawls like this as well as draping, elegant sweaters.

you've said exactly what I wanted to say. Watching her videos is so enjoyable. I became her fan now.

[@gardenglory6624]

I know here story from watching her videos, and from all her social media posts, SHE has taken her knitting and knitting passion to the next level. This is incredible. She really is a person who is living her dream and life. Definitely always admire her. She is proof that if you follow your dreams good things will happen. Knitting is a process and a journey ....its not something that happens overnight, but with perseverance you can make it too. She's very nice....she always replies to most questions. BUT understand she must get thousands of questions now, because sh'es so famous in our industry. AWESOME. !!!! BLESS YOU!

[@ririmr4978]

Just wanted to drop a note to say "THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO." I have been crocheting for 45+ yrs and knitting for 30+ yrs and your vids have inspired me to consider purchasing a wheel to spin my own yarn. Goodness knows I have spent enough money on yarn all these years. I don't know how to read patterns, I create everything via sight and measurements and jot down instructions in my own lingo. I LOVE difficult, challenging projects, they keep me on my toes and my interest peaked as I learned how to crochet and knit from my Grandmother, she had a very limited education (she was born in 1905). Her skills were off the charts, BEAUTIFUL, what a talented visionary she was. I am blessed to have many of her ornate, PREFECT creations, I cherish them. I LOVE your channel! Keep doing what makes you happy :)

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Thanks for the lovely compliment! I think it is incredible that you can recreate patterns just by looking at them! What a gift! 😍❤️

[@ilotefft2526]

The music you use is so relaxing. It just draws me in. I appreciate knowing how to change colors and just pull them up the side without cutting and weaving ends! Thank you.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Thank you so much! ❤️❤️

[@melaniesbuchanan1759]

You can always shop online at Expression Fiber Arts for yarn 😉! The first time I touched their yarn was during a test knit and I fell in love! So, the first opportunity I had to purchase some yarn thereafter, I did. As a matter of fact, I currently have their yarn sitting in my lap as I'm working on a project with it. Chandi sends out emails with their sales and/or highlighted yarns. I've also received coupon codes after a purchase, for my next purchase, which I love! It shows up fairly quick too, and it's always fun to receive yarn mail, right!?! 😘 Heehee! I hope you're able to try out their yarn! Happy knitting and stay safe!

[@lisamolyneux9435]

@@melaniesbuchanan1759 I've got some yarn from Chandi however I can't afford to always buy from them as postage adds an extra £20 to orders as I live in the UK.

[@melaniesbuchanan1759]

@@lisamolyneux9435 I can understand that! And I totally didn't think about you living across the pond and dealing with that shipping. I went to place an order from a dyer on your side of the pond the other day and was informed that shipping costs have just increased for you all again! It's crazy how much it's costing to ship now, and potentially not receive your items... I have two items that I'm still waiting on that were shipped in April and the beginning of May. Expensive and frustrating indeed.

Thank you love this pattern the colours are awesome.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

That is a great suggestion. That is definitely something we can work on! ❤️

[@honibear6478]

I have some LB “Shawl in a Ball” yarn that I think would look very pretty in this pattern because of the color changing and it’s draping ability.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Excellent!

[@SarahBrown-hi1wm]

I'm just about done with this shawl and love it! Question, before I bind off, though ... how do I bind off/finish the last couple rows to keep the same pretty trim pattern that's around the other edges? I dont want to mess it up right here at the end! and I love that little detail.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Hi Sarah, I'm not sure I understand your questions entirely. Which trim edge do you mean, the one with the yarn overs? The bind off edge will look differently depending on what kind of Bind Off you're using. If you're not sure about the look please google different bind off methods and choose the one that is to your liking. There are so many different ones available. Some are decorative, some are stretchy, and some are "invisible". I hope this helps. 💙

[@danadinakolevska405]

Thanks for this splendid video. I started to knit this pattern yesterday and I'm not very satisfied with my work. As I knit, the "long" side of the triangle (where I put yarn over on the begin. of row and the end of the row) shapes like banana or a crescent. I try to pull the stich and the yarn more, but no effect. I wonder whether the other methods of increasing, explained in your other videos (using kfbf method, by increasing 3 st, or kfb method, by increasing 2 stiches) would do better, i.e. form a more loose edge? Thanks, wishing all the best...

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Hi Dana, I'm sorry to hear that you're not happy with how the increases look in your project. I've looked through the pattern and the increase method you can use to sub the one indicated in the pattern is kfb. Unfortunately the kfbf will not work because that one increases too many stitches at once and will make the shape very different from what is intended in this pattern. I hope this makes sense. Have a lovely day!

Hi! I bought the pattern and the yarn. My question is about the changing colours part, is always first a row of knitting and then row number 1 and 2? Or is it just for the first time of introducing the colours?

After the initial row of knit stitches, you only repeat rows 1 and 2 thereafter. No need to repeat the extra row of knit stitches when changing colors.
