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! ❤️

[@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!

[@heatherwuori2864]

EFA seriously has the BEST pattern designers! Thank you so much for the excellent and relaxing tutorial, Chandi and crew! The Mississippi River runs right through our city.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Glad you like them! 💕

[@nisriner4253]

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😊

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Aww, thank you. You're so welcome! 💕

[@kerrymcgrath5151]

I’m currently doing the MCAL designed buy Janica Carter, and now to see this amazing knit pattern by her as well, is mind blowing as to her talent! 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!

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Aww, thank you! 💕💕💕

[@the_good_citizen]

Hi. How far have u gone in the MKAL?

[@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! ❤️

[@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 🧶

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

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! 😍

[@mrs.stocky2445]

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.

[@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.

[@MaryLAllen]

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.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Aww, what a wonderful memory! 💕

[@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! 💕

[@Crafty3627]

The Nile River flows into the Mediterranean Sea. This is a beautiful shawl pattern. Thank you for teaching us so much about knitting.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

My pleasure! 😍

[@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!

[@erbrattpak]

Love this pattern and the subtle sheen of this yarn. I can picture myself sitting on the banks of the Mississippi River beneath a shade tree, knitting this shawl and enjoying the serenity of the moment.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Wonderful! 💕

[@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]

What a great memory. Thank you for sharing. 💕

[@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! 🤞

[@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. ❤️

[@katieanncarochi3723]

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! 🥰

[@etashleelawat4919]

Shiruvani River near Coimbatore India is known as the world’s second tastiest and sweetest water The pattern is very beautiful and I loved the wavey nature of the shawl 🖤 I would love to knit the pattern❤

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Thanks for sharing. Happy to hear you like the pattern. 💕

[@kellydavis2608]

I look forward to Fridays for so long now. Been watching you forever now. You make me smile

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Aww, thank you! 💕

[@hebulanebula]

Tigris River - one of the most stunning rivers in the world ❤ love this wavy pattern, and the yarn collection used. ❤ 🎉 good luck everyone ! 🧶

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Good luck! 💕

[@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!!!! 🤗😘🤗

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

You're very welcome! Have a great day!

[@nataliewinkler720]

I look forward to every Friday's pattern and video! I grew up near several rivers but the Wando River in South Carolina holds a special place in my heart

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Glad you like our patterns and tutorials! 💕

[@vindeljay]

The colours in this shawl remind me of the colours of the Swan River in Western Australia. My mum use to tell stories of her visits to that river when she grew up, so glad to have been reminded of that while watching this beautiful pattern unfold.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Aww, that's wonderful! ❤️

[@noelledavis6303]

I find it so relaxing to watch the close-ups of your hands knitting. Such pretty hands! I have very special memories of backpacking high in the Sierra mountains along the San Joaquin river an Thousand Islands Lake. Breathtakingly, beautiful, and the colors of this shawl are reminiscent of that. ❤

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Wonderful! I'm so glad. ❤️

[@audreyfleming3344]

I currently live along the Tennessee River and love to watch the wisps of fog you can see in the early morning as you walk along the river's edge.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Aww, that sounds so calming. 💙

[@beckysteinmiller338]

Love the shawl! My favorite river is the Potomac River. When I cross that river I know I will be seeing my grandchildren very soon!❤

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Aw, that's lovely! ❤

[@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]

You're most welcome! 💕

[@LorenMarieP]

I grew up next to the beautiful Columbia River, and these Moody hues remind me of the water on winter days.😍

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

❤❤❤

[@audreycastelton2655]

What a beautiful pattern and clever use of short rows. Although British, growing up we lived near the River Rhein in Germany for a time and would often go for walks at the weekend along it's banks, which would usually end with buying some gorgeous cake to take home and enjoy. Happy memories.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

What great memories! 🥰

[@DeniseDiFranco]

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. On route I cross the Connecticut River. There is always a temperature change when I cross. So interesting to note that. Thank you for sharing your videos, I have learned so much and refer back to them often.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

How interesting! And thank you! I'm glad you like what we do.

[@19snoozer56]

I have a huge collection of patterns you have offered, enough to keep me knitting and crocheting for years. I have also indulged in some of your luxurious yarns. 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. The Bosque "forest" is a beautiful place to walk and watch wildlife. It is less than a mile from my house.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

You're so very welcome! I'm so happy you love what we do!

[@angelsbear37]

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! 💕💕💕

[@elainekent9820]

Thank you Chandi for sharing your creativity and your love for people and life. A special River to me is the Amazon, an ancient river filled with ancient fish, creatures and plant life, some which are yet to be identified. It seems magical in the treasures it holds of the earlier species of God’s Creation. I have not been to Egypt but hope to someday.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Thank you for sharing! 💕

[@cathybunker6471]

I have fond memories of learning to fish with my late husband on the Martin River in North Bay, ON Canada! Love watching your tutorials and especially looking at the inspiration for your wonderful colourways.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Thanks for watching!

[@nofaves]

This is so pretty, and I love that it's customizable for those who are less adventurous! I am fortunate to live on the banks of the Allegheny River, and I'd love to knit this in my backyard watching the river flow by.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

💕💕💕

[@joanncampos8675]

The first river that popped in my mind was the Mississippi River, I have been wanting to learn how to knit so bad and I bought me some needles I just need to get the nerve up to try and learn, I think I could learn from watching your tutorials because you are such a great teacher that explains everything in detail and I thank you for all your videos because I am a visual person I learn better from watching and listening. Thank you so much I love ya you are so amazing . Keep doing you and I love all the inspirational like poems you start the day with you really truly inspire me alot and when I feel like I can't, I watch one of your videos and know I can, so thank you so much and God Bless 💖, and you and your family are always in my prayers .

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Aww, thank you! 💕

[@cindyfrye3026]

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.

[@scar3cr0w84]

The Allegheny River in Pennsylvania always brings back memories of my childhood. Beautiful shawl!

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Thank you! I'm glad you like it!

[@demimorest963]

Exquisite shawl. It would look lovely as I stand along the Mississippi River and watch the beautiful water go by.

❤❤❤

[@fostecc]

The shawl is beautiful and simple patterns are my favorite knitting.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Thank you! 😊

[@izabellabochenek8696]

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!

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Hi Izabella, I'm very sorry for your loss but am glad that you have such great memories of your dad! I hope you enjoy making Seinesation. Good luck. 😍

[@ginnyc]

I can't wait to try this shawl. Since I live in the Southwest, we rely on the Colorado river for water. So, it is very important to keep it flowing! The Blue River yarn pack is very pretty. Thanks for sharing this pattern.☘️

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Yay, enjoy making it! ❤️

[@ruthannekronk4243]

I live and knit near the Ohio River in Pennsylvania. I appreciate how you patiently demonstrate these patterns!!

This is another beautiful pattern I have spent a lot of time at the Salt River a great place for rafting when there is water in the River when there is not water it’s great for hiking and this shawl reminds me of the designs left in the sand from when the water was running this shawl brings back such beautiful memories thank you Chandi

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

My pleasure and good luck! 😍

[@cherieaveritt7491]

This is a gorgeous pattern. I grew up in Pennsylvania near the Clarion River. So beautiful winding through the hills. It was a great place to grow up. The blues of this yarn are so calming and soothing, just like the river.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Glad you like the pattern and the colors! 🥰

[@stayshaE]

The color way used in the tutorial reminds me of the Mississippi river of my youth. Your tutorials are so understandable I believe I could give knitting another try. Thank you for sharing.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

You are so welcome! 💕

[@sandrasilvestri1418]

I love watching your teachings of all these new patterns. Your voice is so serene as you describe what you are doing. The river near me is the Pemigewasset. There is an area near me that floods most years at least once. I can imagine sitting by the river wrapped up in this beautiful shawl. Thank you all!

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Good luck! 💕

[@krismeier5294]

What a beautiful pattern 😊 The river Rhein is running through my hometown Basel, Switzerland, and I have wonderful memories!

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Fabulous! 💕

[@loribuckenham6093]

Love this pattern! Thank you so much for being so clear and easy to follow in your videos. I have learned so much from watching you! Those yarn colors are the deep cool blues of the Bow River that originates from Hector Lake in the Alberta Rocky Mountains until it meets with the Old Man River and becomes the South Saskatchewan River near Bow Island in southern Alberta.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

You are so welcome!

[@g.nypaver734]

Another stunning shawl. The pattern is beautiful. Thank you. The river that I like to mention is the San Antonio river. It has a beautiful walk along it with all kind of restaurants. It's beautiful at night.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Wonderful! 💕

[@skylynn8217]

Love that this was inspired by a river. First river that popped into my mind was the Mississippi River.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

💕💕💕

[@cindyfrye3026]

The comments on this video are so interesting to read. I couldn't get through all of them. I loved that so many of the rivers in the US were First Nation names. It is fabulous to see all of the international locations, too.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Wonderful, glad you enjoyed going through the comments! ❤️

[@marilynmatthews479]

The Tennessee River came to mind. That yarn is lovely.

You are so welcome! 💕

[@cruzianfibergeek]

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! 🥰

[@kellygonio3829]

Yay, Friday. My favorite- The Colorado River. Thank you!

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Awesome! 🥰

[@janiewhitney1156]

This shawl is beautiful! I've never done short rows because I wasn't sure exactly how to do the wrap and turn. You made it look so easy, thank you for showing how it's done. I live near the South Platte River so it was the first one I thought of.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Awesome, enjoy making Seinesation! 🥰

[@jannarciso]

I am an intermediate knitter and always learn something to help my knitting journey by watching you. Very supportive videos! My favorite river is the Shenandoah River. Being by this river is the most peaceful time I find in this chaotic world.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Thanks for sharing!! 💙

[@lauram-harding8131]

Such a lovely pattern. I took one of the tours on the Seine in 1984. It was such a beautiful day.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

I bet it was sensational. 😉

[@keriduff7058]

I love this pattern!! I grew up swimming in the South San Gabriel River in Texas. There’s a huge park next to the river in Georgetown and it used to have a very large playground with a wooden castle. We would take school trips to the playground a park and could skip rocks and feed ducks. The park has changed a lot in the last 20 years, but the river is a constant.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Great memory, thank you for sharing! ❤️

Green River that runs through Great Barrington, MA❤ Absolutely lovely, thank you

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

You are so welcome!

[@nicolebunting479]

Such a beautiful shawl. I think this would be a wonderful blanket as well. Reminds me so much of the Shanendoah river here in Virginia. Peaceful and calming, with awe inspiring landscapes all around with the mountains and valleys. The best place to get away for a few days.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Aww, thank you! Thank you for the recommendation. ❤️

[@mardel3]

Hi Chandi, The Mississippi River is gorgeous. I have driven past it many times on our way to a vacation. It's calm and beautiful, so breathtaking and such a blessing to see such a beautiful wonder. The yarn colors are gorgeous, and this pattern is definitely a challenge for me ,one I'm willing to try. Thank you for sharing love. Have an amazing weekend

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

You're welcome! I hope you have a wonderful weekend, too!

[@squeelit]

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 :-)

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Glad you enjoy our tutorials! 💕

[@rayel.2178]

The Nile is a pretty blue colors like the shawl is. And such a pretty shawl it is, love the colors. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

You're most welcome! 💕

[@lynnvan2077]

When I saw this shawl I thought it would be too difficult for me but now I've watched your video you've given me the confidence to try. Thank you. I've spent a lot of time next to rivers - my husband and sons fish. My favourite is the Thames near Windsor, we spent many happy hours there when the children were young.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

I'm so glad the tutorial was helpful. You can do it! 💕

[@jerriecook6908]

Thank you for your awesome tutorial on wrap and turn!!! Honestly, it is the best tutorial I have watched, AND I understood what I needed to do. As for a river, it's so hard to choose. So I've decided on the river from my home state. The Ohio River. It brings back memories of my childhood and taking road trips with my daddy and family. My daddy and brother are gone, but they live on in my memories

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

I always look forward to your videos and inspired me to go looking for more luxury yarns. I love living near the Susquehanna River and watching the level of it go up and down.

Wonderful! 💕

Beautiful pattern as always. You have chosen the best designers out there for sure. As for my choice of river, I'm going to say Crystal River, because it's in my wonderful state of Florida. When the waters of the Gulf of Mexico get cold, the manatee head in to Crystal River for warmth. They are a sight to behold. Slow meandering mammals that are fascinating to watch.

I've lived all over the world. The mighty Mississippi is the river that says home wherever I am.

Wow! What a beautiful shawl! Thankyou Chandi and Janica for the inspiration to create. The first river that came to mind is the Crystal River in Florida where the manatees come to play during the winter months.

You're very welcome!

Thank you for this pattern. It’s beautiful. I live in Greenville SC and our river runs through downtown. It’s called the Reedy River and was "used" as the power for the manufacturing in Greenville Now it’s a wonderful "walk about" and tourists from all over come to visit. Again, thank you!!

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

I've been there! It's so cool how that area is landscaped. Really beautiful!

[@chriskramer7004]

My husband and I have been there. Loved walking downtown,, very shady and lots of restaurants. Walked by the River too!

[@debracisneroshhp2827]

Thank you for a lovely pattern with beautiful yarn to enhance the design. I'm in Southern CA but several yrs. ago I lived with one of my sisters for several months in a tiny town along the east coast of southern PA. Lately I've been reminiscing about the long walks I used to take during the winter months along the Delaware River, next to the canal there__serene, walking meditations. 💖🙌😺

The Rhine River. Going on my first river cruise this summer. What a beautiful shawl this would make for the trip. Gorgeousness! Thank you for the pattern.

I freakin LOVE Fridays!!! All thanks to you my friend. A river that I loved growing up was in my neck of the woods, in NY. The beautiful Hudson Valley River region, along the Hudson river. Happy Friday, my lovey!

I always enjoy your patterns. They are lovely and easy to follow. I see the Mississippi River all the time. I love how you can walk across it at it's origin in northern MN.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you like what we do!

[@yarn_dragon]

Beautiful pattern…easy, but with a twist! I still remember my first view of the Seine on my first trip to Paris. Walking to the bank of the Seine…and seeing Notre Dame framed by the sunset. Wow. Just wow.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

It's so beautiful there!

[@louiselegacy9985]

Just love it when you end your videos with your bloopers. So funny.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Hehe, you're welcome! 😉

[@jenniferkollerup3496]

I love the river inspiration of this beautiful pattern, and how it inspired so many to talk about their important experiences with the rivers near them at important times in their lives. It was like a little world tour watching the video and reading the comments. Thank you kindly everyone!

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Glad you enjoy the inspiration behind this pattern. 🥰
