Not sure if you'll ever hear this enough, however Thank You for all you do!! You always take the time to explain the why or the reasoning behind the stitches. Thank you for making more than one projects for each video. And thank you for being so patient with your expectations, you are amazing ❤️💙💚💛💜

You gush all you like, sweetie. I've been subscribed to you for three years or so because of your crochet. But the thumbnail of this piece has been whispering to me, saying, "come on, give Spider a chance, he gave you confidence on crochet, surely you can learn knitting with his tutorials!" So far so good! I've restarted like ten times, but that's because I keep losing count, not because of you.

[@ruthgoebel723]

This shawl is gorgeous! Well done!!!! A word about bamboo needles: they are the very best for keeping the stitches from slipping off the needles. Love them!

[@Blender1ful]

I love this pattern and I knitted along with you and I am writing it down as you go so that I will have the pattern. Thank you for your tutorials.

[@rosehill7872]

[@momgrandma5496]

I’m still loving my Lost Souls crochet shawl and, preferring triangular shawls, wanting a knit project, I’m making this one next. Love how up close the pattern raises and falls back. 😃

[@margaretchadwick2080]

Love this so much I have been knitting for nearly 60 yrs if you dont want the top to roll do a few rows of garter stitch that will stop it much love M ❤

[@crochettimewithdonnaarsena2946]

Brand new knitter here! I have only knitted a washcloth from the corner and I did fine till I was doing the decrease and it turned out wonky! LoL! I love this and will have to try this!

[@jacquelinemuto]

[@SAstonFamily]

If this was a crochet pattern, I'd be starting right now. 😥 I'm sad that it's not but it's gorgeous.

[@SydMountaineer]

I did extensive searches on Google AND on Ravelry, and I could not find even ONE crochet pattern that had these same characteristics as this pattern: 1) solid or nearly solid diamonds, 2) lace, and 3) raised/post divider stitches that give it texture. (I understand that the "divider" stitches are not actually textured/overlay stitches, but it looks that way, and gives interest to the pattern. *What makes this pattern unique compared to most crochet diamond patterns, is the lace ALONG WITH the stitches that surround & divide the diamonds.* There are A LOT of knitting patterns similar to this, and TONS of crochet patterns with lacy diamonds, but the majority of the crochet diamond lacy patterns are "flat" and "boring" compared to Fiber Spider's pattern. ALSO, the crochet patterns that have no lacey stitches, the "diamonds" were made by overlay stitches, actually surface stitches on a solid crochet background, that were added after the background was made, not during, to give the illusion of diamonds, which is okay, but it makes a very solid blanket with decoration but is not "airy" because there aren't any lacey, open stitches. And I did not just search blankets & throws, but I did other searches to see if there were any shawls, cowls, hats, clothing, etc made with a pattern with these characteristics, yet still came up wit NOTHING. The closest pattern to this on all of Ravelry turned out to be a hat pattern called "Diamonds and Lace Hat" by Linda Permann, but the "lace" in the name is referring to the top of the hat where there are no diamonds, but a circle with a star, so there's not enough open/lacey stitches to make it close enough to Fiber Spider's pattern, but what separated it from other similar patterns is the fact that each diamond has one, sort of "open" stitch at the top of every diamond, but it's due to the way it's constructed, not due to lacey stitches. So, I will add this to my (long) list of items to design, and if I can come up with a crochet version that is close enough to do justice to Fiber Spider's pattern, I will let you know. I can't promise anything, but being that there's nothing close to it available makes me want to figure out a crochet version even more. I really love this pattern due to the same characteristics that make it very different from similar diamond crochet patterns.

[@johnzaleski5182]

I love it! Working on it now!!!

[@Piecemaker1623]

Gush away! Saved the video to make later.

[@mariaelenaleija4814]

simply a beauty...

[@mariacarolinaroura663]

I love Lion Brand. I used to go at NYC or New Jersey ( cose to Secaucus) on Sundays.......

[@Soffity]

You could add a crocheted edge to stop the rolling if you wanted,

[@kathleenmcquade31]

Oh, how I wish I could find my knitting needles! They got packed in a box for moving and dissapeared! I can get my grandson to take me to Michael's, but I'm afraid to go. All the sales are on and I am afraid that I will have to get some of this yarn and some of that yarn, and oh...I didn't know this one was on sale! Oh, look at the new colour in this yarn, I just need to get a few!!!!

[@theresamcdonald2144]

love, love, love it, Craig!! thank you!!

[@noelinedezilwa6153]

Hello Fiber Spider, greetings from Holland. I like your great vidios very very much. Lots of thanks, love Noëline

[@unchainedcrochet446]

Hi Fiber Spider! Lovely shawl! Can you do a tutorial on the Birch leaf shawl top down?

[@annettesmiley4201]

I don’t know how to knit ( only crochet) but this is really pretty

[@salmafouli9927]

Kanns schön und sauber machen und Häppch mache weiter Alles gut 😊👏👏👏 Bay 🖐️🌹

[@MaryIannacone]

Love it! But where can I find the pattern?

[@kathywinter7793]

I but the thick and quick yarn. Need to try more. Very little Lion Brand yarn sold in my area. Johannes and Wal-Mart sell it but not much of a choice.

[@cyndianaya5304]

Love this

[@lml0878]

Could this be made into a poncho? Would be so cool.

[@marypapadatos245]

Oohhh my gosh. I made something like this years ago and misplaced the pattern. It was more called pineapple but still really similar thank you thank you, what yarn please

[@sajidasajida2226]

👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@kathywinter7793]

Beautiful shawl. However looks like 2 different people knitted it. I only noticed because some of the stitches look like mine twisted. Please do a video on twisted stitches. I can not make them correct. Thank you. Enjoy your page very much.

[@kellydukepoo2450]

It's beautiful! I don't knit ☹️ my Mom tried to show me but I just couldn't get it.

[@jetsierichardson6921]

Try continental knitting. It’s easier for crocheters because you hold the yarn with your left hand. Check out u-tube for tutorials

[@juanitamoncebaiz3730]

Great job! Going to give it a go! How big and long is it! ❤️ 😃

[@denisesheppard1669]

This is beautiful!

[@kathyk479]

[@laurac5451]

[@luciayan3745]

I love the pattern but I like it if you had a written out.

[@gigiw.7650]

Death grip, me too! 😹

[@cyndianaya5304]

Can this be done in fingering weight yarn?

[@FiberSpider]

Yes of course, you will just need to adjust your needle size and most likely make more repeats than I did to get the size you want.

[@dianechicklo7961]

I hear that I am so tight and alway use a larger needle.

[@WarrenStClair]

How heavy is this piece?

[@Cthecool]

God I wish there was a written pattern for this

[@violetbrown1136]

Another knitted shawl that looks like it would take forever. Making prayer shawls for a hospice, I just dont' have that much time.
