That Purple beaded Shawl, was the topic of one of our very first conversations we EVER had, even before we knew each other!!! This was at the point where I hadn't learnt to knit yet, and it was so mind blowing to me. Soooooo that's kinda one of my fave projects of yours too !
I love your video here I love the crochet purple round ripple Afghan I caught bug of making many like that one year I was on a crocheting frenzy I made 36 afghans in one year finish one went onto another there not the same it was a Challenge how I could make my Afghan move using certain color combinations sort of burned out went to making over dozen hats and scarves giving them to friends and helpers. I absolutely love your beaded shawl that is so awesome one always wanted to put beads on some things. I knitted only couple scarves which I liked doing but then I found crocheting was overtaking me and just recently started on couple knit forums I got the bug again I want to create new things with knitting it's so refine and delicate lacy like patterns. I want to expand in my knitting that's way I wanted good interchangeable needles the I watch many videos until I saw your video and it clicked this what I was looking for someone that knew needles and how to decide what I needed. I watched your video many times I remember using circular needles that the cord attach to them would spin around so much it messed up my stitches. I didn't go back to knitting until now I got the bug to learn new stitches and patterns and this new fiber out there going to make myself a couple sweaters of my own. And I want to try new things that's way it's important to me have the right tools so I could enjoy knitting again. Your video gave so much good advice I bought several different sets of ChiaoGoo needles and accessories too the had a nice knitting bag reasonable almost same pattern the beautiful needles come in I love the cases zipper around so you don't lose any thing everything fits in my bag nicely and lots of room for my projects I decided I am going to knit myself a button down cardigan with a lacy pattern now just figure what fiber going to use it will be light and airy same keep you warm. Your video alerted me to have good tools of the trade and have fun with them. Thank you for you where a big help to me. Oh I love the feel of these needles I know my cables will work with me just like the needles will.
Wow, Thank you Carol! I am so glad that my videos have helped you!! I can't wait to see all the knitting things you create! I do have a video on how I add beads to things for when you are ready! I did not make another blanket for a long time, as I did that Queen Sized one in around 2 weeks.. I had it wrapped and under the tree with literally an hour to spare!! the pressure put me off for a while! I absolutely love the little cases and find them to be soooo cute! And super usable, and that is the most important thing, the tools need to work and without hassle!
