[@suemount6042]

Oh wow the shawl is beautiful love the colour and you look fabulous as always

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Thank you so much!

[@karend3772]

I love your patterns and your wool. I see your beautiful emails and then remember US Post suspended mail to New Zealand due to Covid transportation woes and restrictions, all our end since our govt is so difficult. All due to Covid - so tired of that virus.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Thank you, I'm so glad you're enjoying our products. Hopefully, you'll be able to get some squishy yarn from us soon! 💕

That's a beautiful shawl and I love its name ❤Amado❤ Gracias Chandi!

You are so welcome! Enjoy!

I so look forward to your videos. Your personality shines and is as cuddly as your yarn. I was thinking about something to wear in the car that would protect my arms from sunburn. I think this pattern may do just that but in a lighter weight yarn.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

I'm so glad you like it! 💕

[@feeberizer]

Once again, I am utterly amazed by what can be created with, essentially, _two sticks_ and _string._ 🤯 Absolutely gorgeous! Thank you, again, for sharing with us.

Beautiful shawl, just need to decide which colourway to do it in. I have never tried to do cable that way will need to give it a go

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

You can do it and I'm sure you'll enjoy it! 💕

Thanks, I really wished you showed us the whole pattern too, one repeat, like you normally do. I'm new to English knitting, since it is not my language, but I can follow your pattern normaly

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Hi Barb, I'm very sorry about that. Can you follow charts? This pattern doesn't include too many written instructions but mostly charts. If you're comfortable with those you can just go ahead and use the pattern pdf. Hope that helps. Have a great day! 💕

Wow! I finally found one of your tutorials that uses worsted weight... and, it's a knit pattern 😭😭😭 what a gorgeous piece! I wish I could knit.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Glad you like it. We have lots of worsted weight patterns, for both knit and crochet. You can find them all at www.expressionfiberarts.com/categories/patterns.html?_bc_fsnf=1&Yarn+Weight=Worsted

[@robertasalasmontero6326]

@@ExpressionFiberArts I was just over there! It seems that the ones I am always drawn to are fingering weight patterns, that's why I thought there weren't many of worsted weight. Boy was I wrong! There are so many! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and making the most beautiful colors I have ever seen in yarn! Stay blessed

I'm so glad you asked! All of our samples are hand knitted or hand crocheted by either our designers themselves or our sample makers/testers/

...as someone who is very new to cables, the techniques to knit cables without the cable needle are fascinating, but TERRIFYING. Pinching the yarn, yes, but while you were doing that, I was clenching with anxiety 😅
