[@ADDartitude]

Thank you for explaining Pi shawls so that I FINALLY understand how they work!

[@gbelle2605]

as a beginner with your tutorial I think I now have the confidence to do more than a dish cloth in knitting, big hugs and thankyou!

[@minnie87679]

i totally agree with you Gina, i've tried to do shawls so many times and was afraid to try the garter tab with just 3 stitches but I took the plunge and started the half pi shawl and it's working out amazingly so ty SO much for teaching us how to do this amazing shawl fiber spider your tutorials are absolutely amazing and clear unlike some others i have tried to follow

[@bunnygaffney2765]

I love this shawl it's so easy for beginners .thank you I'm so glad I found your channel

[@russellhoag4548]

This is a perfect shawl if you needed a fast elegant piece for someone. Awesome video Craig thank you very much for all you do for us. We love our fiber spider.

[@beckygreenberg4283]

Indeed, thank you for discussing how to "read" the piece; very helpful and my weak point. Bravo!

[@mayolson2]

I have been looking for an uncomplicated pattern and this fits the bill. You always come up with super cool things !

[@MsShar409]

Ty so much for this! When I finish my current crochet projects, I'm going to work this. I am just learning to knit & have been pretty discouraged. But with your patient & kind video, I believe I can do it! I sure do appreciate you.

[@sueseger6883]

Thank you for showing how to knit this shawl. I will be writing this pattern down. It looks like a good TV knit. I like the way you have the camera set so we can see exactly what you are doing.

[@madammimm]

Lovely, thanks for uploading today to entertain us, boxing Day is a slow day in the UK 😊

[@kathytuske3498]

I am making this with dk weight yarn and size 9 needles. It is turning out beautiful so far. Thank you for the tutorial!

[@kerripedersen9542]

Love this and can't wait to make it after I finish a couple of crochet projects. Thank you!

[@jackelinematschat9514]

You are an amazing teacher. Thank You!

[@lindahenery87]

Thank you for making it so simple.

[@glendadixon7388]

I absolutely love this and will be doing it as soon as I finish my current project. I’ve been knitting for “centuries “! I’m so VERY happy to see you knitting. Don’t get me wrong I’ve do crochet and have been following your videos. But I prefer to knit. Your a wonderful teacher and I thank you for your videos. Happy Holidays!

[@lindarodgers7538]

Love this, so beautiful ❤️ and complex looking yet so simple and basically mindless knitting, love, love, love 💕💖 it. Thank you so, so much, I broke into knitting with a pair of socks that was my very first project ever then mittens. So thank you 🥰💞 for another fantastic tutorial, your the greatest.

[@amandah4834]

Beautiful shawl spider thank you 😊Amanda xx❤️

[@Typhoonyoon]

Happy Boxing Day! Hope you had a lovely Christmas. This is a wonderful tutorial. I very much enjoy knitting Elizabeth Zimmerman’s patterns. Currently I am working on Meg Swanson’s Shrug in beautiful lavender lace wool. I think she does fantastic job spreading her mum’s life’s work.

[@crazybooklady2104]

I used a mandala yarn and size 7 needles and it gave my shawl a great drape to it

[@mariearsenault197]

I just love the look of this shawl. I’ve made several for seniors but those were crocheted. This knit version is wonderful. And as usual, your tutorial is very well done and very easy to follow. Thank you very much! I wish you all the best in this holiday season and in 2021.

[@therealnancycarol]

A lovely tutorial, which makes me want to make one of these. Nice mention of Elizabeth Zimmerman. She was a genius in her own right. I hope you had a nice Christmas, if you celebrate that and wish you a great New Year and many, many more as well. Stay safe.

[@conniegigante2886]

Love this..I’ve made 2 1/2 Pi shawls..you’re a fantastic instructor👍🏼

[@redredwine1277]

Well explained and illustrated, thanks for sharing, take care and God bless 🙏

[@justajunkinwithgrandmamose5279]

I love this! Can’t wait t try it!

[@bonnadowns524]

Love your podcasts and so many beautiful patterns💝🙏👌

[@louwalmsley2674]

I clicked on before I realized it was about knitting. I will definitely come back when I start to knit. So I will see you with your next crochet tutorial. Hope you had a very Merry Christmas.

[@FiberSpider]

Perhaps learning to knit could be your New Year's Resolution? 😁

[@louwalmsley2674]

@@FiberSpider sounds like a good idea!! Thank you

[@joycechapman262]

Thank you for this tutorial. Am looking forward to knitting this shawl. 😊

[@donna40121]

I am so excited for this video! Thank you!

[@fifinguyen8944]

This is so ideal for a beginner like me. Thank you so much 👍

[@MsShar409]

Me too! We can do this!

[@johnno49]

For many more years than I care to count I’ve struggled to manage knitting. I know HOW to do it, but I’ve never been ABLE to do it, as my fingers refused to cooperate. With this pattern, though, I think my fingers have got it.

[@midgevietor199]

Love this shawl. Thank You

[@yarnmotivated-joyceswensso9744]

Love this. I might just have an ombre ready to roll.

[@laurelstieg9375]

Cool idea..I would start with a super easy garter tab cast on..I don't know why you are down on that..its very easy to do..and a good knitting skill to have..😊🧶

[@rollergirl55]

Absolutely love your tutorials! Your voice is so easy to listen to. Is it copacetic to alternate the type of yarn used during the making of this shawl. For example, I began knitting with double yarns in an Aran wool, but realized that I would need more yarn. I decided to add different colours of wool, but was unable to purchase my original brand. I wanted to switch to an acrylic yarn with 2 strands (the gauge was the same for both wool and acrylic). I wanted to know if the knitting would drape the same way so it would look the same throughout the knitted shawl. I haven't switched colours as yet. I thought I would check with the "expert" before moving forward. Will you ever do patterns for the dog and bunny in knitting as well as the crochet versions you have done? I find I am "all thumbs" when I attempt to crochet. Thanks again, Fiber Spider, for all of your tutorial videos, comments, patterns, and for sharing with the cyber world, all of your creative talents. You are one in a million!

[@suetaylor9637]

Sweet as Pi ...THANKS .

[@joandavis9152]

Thank you. I will try this one next!

[@judihowe773]

Awesome. Inspiring a thought of what colours to use to make this project.

[@wandahaunpo2746]

Happy New Year

[@semrasokulganuneri3603]

Thank you for the video. 🤗

[@ruthjung513]

Thank for the inspiration. I did a shawl for my daughter. She is not happy because it is not a triangle.

[@BookAndLace]

THANK YOU!!!!!! I have been trying to do the garter stitch thing for a chunk of the day; trying to get it to work with my homespun lace weight. ARG. I'm totally going to do this start now. I'm totally thinking that when I get down a ways I can switch to a different stitch.

[@pab2546]

I love this....I wonder how hard it would be with 2 or 3 different solid colors? I have some soft rose and eggplant colors big twist from Joann's.

[@margaridafarinha1199]

muito obrigada amo os seu trabalhos parabens e muito obrigada um abraço de Portugal

[@EllieLeyvascraftsandmore]

Love it! 💕💚💕

[@nightowl4137]

HAPPY NEW YEAR CRAIG 🥂🍾 🎊🎉🎆🤩

[@heatherfadden7278]

Have you ever done any of the outlander knit pieces ?? There are some I really would love to do however I am not the best at understanding patterns. I do much better by watching. There is a rent shawl they call it from the show i think you should try ! :))). Haha

[@virginiabordignon2485]

Molto bello 🤩

[@beckybramlett3515]

You’re a lot smarter than I am when it comes to incorporating stitches, could this be done in sc or HDc ? I don’t know how to knit but I may have to try this in crochet...... if I do, will try to let you know if it turns out ! This is beautiful work and I enjoy watching you knit or crochet !!

[@racheljohnson5823]

thankyou :)

[@CaraMcK78]

I hate to ask here but I couldn’t find anything. Your tutorials are always so easy for me to follow and understand. Have you done, or would you consider, doing a tutorial on the crocodile stitch?

[@minnie87679]

this is perfect for a beginner to pi shawls like me, i'm already on my 4th increase row and loving every second of it thank you so so much fiber spider for showing us how to do this gorgeous shawl, I've seen another shawl that i like by someone else on KZbin and their bind off is the one where you cast on an extra 5 then knit the first 4 then knit 2 together then turn the work around and knit the 5 again, so my question is this, would that be a good bind off for the half pi shawl?

[@kimberleycroxen3567]

Hey was wondering if you could do more circular blankets

[@kellynickles2178]

Since the first and last 3 sts are stable, would you suggest slipping the first stitch of every row to make a nice edge?

[@kellynickles2178]

Thank You! ❤️👵🏻❤️

[@FiberSpider]

You could if you like, sure.

[@Надежда-ф9ф2ы]

Извините, пишу на русском языке. Я мало понимаю английский. Шаль замечательная.👍 Мне очень нравятся ваши мастер-классы!👍👍👍 Хочу просить вас, если это возможно, пишите схему ваших работ на экране. Вы классный! Успехов вам!🤗❤

[@kimberlyd9049]

Great tutorial. I’m wondering why you didn’t use stitch markers with first and last three stitches. Similarly, do you have the pattern so one can begin this at a later time without needing to see the entire video again (not that I don’t enjoy listening to your soothing voice!). 🤣😂😅

[@FiberSpider]

Thank you, check out the timestamps in the description box, that way you can skip around.

[@kimberlyd9049]

I can’t wait to dig out some of my hand dyed yarn and get going on this. Seems like a perfect holiday gift and seems mindless enough to be easy to pursue at night when I’m too tired to concentrate in a focused way. What could be more perfect? (Thank you again for a great tutorial!)

[@HaleThePanda]

I'm not exactly sure what happened and dont know if it's because of the changes I've made in needle size and yarn weight and stitches, but my shawl isnt straightening out the farther I go along. Do you have any tips if you happen to see this by chance?

[@crochetpassionwithmonamahm937]

Adorable Ma sha2 Allah

[@debbiejones7705]

Hi fiber I want to learn to knit where do I find beginners instructions please

[@debbiejones7705]

Hi fiber I want to learn to knit but how do I get started

[@Crafter1111-o8h]

will the pattern work with fingering weight yarn?

[@lauha_loves_sun6510]

Hey there, is it possible to so that not in garter stitch? Guess I have to increase more cause it won't feather out as much as it should. Can someone help me, please? 😅

[@ppalmer1952]

Is there a printed chart or instructions?

[@lbessinger]

How many skeins do we need for a 96 row shawl?

[@lechusalinda9141]

Is there a way to make this with a regular crochet needle???

[@FiberSpider]

Well, this one is sort of similar - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWeVopRqgJeNepY

[@yasmindesai3107]

Hi can I have the pattern please thank you
