[@bethbamszoo]

Great video!

[@lunardesignstudiolinda1256]

The most creative person ever!,,, I’m blown away

[@karenfisk6417]

You are so inspiring. ❤ the video. I'm working on Brioband Shawl, now, to bide my time until the MKAL and also can't wait for your spring pattern in November.

[@whitneyrobertson8269]

There are a few I still need to do Stephen. I have done 2 each of Color Craving, Doodler and Exploration Station. I have not yet done Rockefeller, Texture Time or Speckle & Pop. I still have Shawlography and Twists & Turns on the needles. That's not stopping me from having 2 geogradients at the ready. 🥳

[@nefraial]

Oh my... What a marvellous yarn. I've knit 7 of the shawls at this point and I need to catch up. And I don't even wear shawls lol... I've learned a lot while having a great experience knitting them. I have to keep up with the new ones now, while slipping a previous between, just for all the fun. My yarn is wiggling in wavelengths of anticipation. Winding up to be looped around needles and meshed into a Geogradient experience.

[@karlalintzenich2376]

❤❤❤

[@stephanienorris364]

Adored this overview. Made me want to revisit some of the past shawls. Would love more of your journey from Oklahoma to where you are now. I remember doing Bone yard shawl around 2012-13 when I first discovered your work.

[@nancymorales2741]

So good that I had to immediately rewatch it. This’ll be my third time participating. I love it so much! Hugs from your former neighbor in Deep South Texas on the border. Anxiously awaiting blast off!

[@susanwhite6158]

[@fjellrosastrikkepodcast]

You are so creative and good shawl designer!!

[@silla4809]

good storyteller 🥰 🧡💚💙💜 love it

[@TJtheBee]

I am *so* tempted to join this mystery knit-along, but I am completely out of money and can't afford to buy more yarn, let alone food some days...if I thought I could do it with my stash, I would! But I'm not sure. I need to watch the video about the MKAL again. Pretty sure I don't have the right yarn in a gradient though.

[@LindaSimpson]

Your creativity blows my mind! Awesome shawls and so glad I decided to take the plunge last year to join the mystery knit along train. Excited for this year. Thank you for your hard work ❤❤❤

[@bernadettefuson1678]

What an absolute joy! so many beautiful shawls. You're a treasure.

[@Plushies129]

You know you can NEVER stop. No one in the yarn world will allow it🤣🤣🤣

[@whitney2817]

I love this video, Stephen! I can't wait for this year's MKAL!

[@brendagalindez1989]

OMG...this was a spectacular exhibit of awesomeness! 👏👏

[@vivianamunoz9307]

Hermosos

[@mimih6527]

Awesome!!! Your works of art shine in this history video! Thank you for your creativity to the knitting community!!

[@millieo.5325]

OMG, I love this! You had me smiling from ear to ear throughout the entire video. I’m trying to practice in between all the crochet projects on my To-Do List. I can’t wait to buy most of those patterns (in my Ravelry cart). Your shawls are magnificent…😍 Thank you…👏🏼🤗

[@TheCandy729]

You are a genius! And I’ve loved all your shawls, I just need to work up the nerve to give them a try. The Air Force brought me through Altus and Lawton. Thank you for sharing your story and amazing techniques with us!

[@corneliaestey7473]

I am at home in beige and browns… but still get so much inspiration from your work. Your shawl are art. Thank you for sharing your talent.

[@verdelin2031]

[@jingli1301]

I looooove this year's theme, and love the music to this video, good nod to that great movie Interstellar!

[@pamsavanovic3004]

Rockefeller was my first MKAL

[@pamsavanovic3004]

I have only completed 6 of your MKALs but might have to go back and make a few more. Yarn is ready for this one coming up.

[@carolbulmer8253]

WOW!!! Stephen, I am in awe of your creativity! Unfortunately, I’m not skilled enough to try one of your shawls but I’m a huge fan❤️⭐️
