As a non-knitter, I've always admired from afar. How would you suggest beginning? Now that I am 76 and still a lover of beautiful wearable art, I'd like to try!
I'd start by looking for a yarn shop in your area--they LOVE helping beginners and can give you a hand with choosing yarn and needles for a pattern that isn't too hard (or too uninteresting haha!)
That will be quite the adventure in this land of quilters. I will drive 2 1/2 hours to Bismarck, North Dakota. I know I’ve seen a lovely yarn shop there..
Your video has made me want to make a rectangular shawl! I avoid that shawl shape because I'm clueless about how to wear one and not look strange. Thanks!
So when is your next KAL for a new rectangular shawl? The last one I knitted was the Great British Baking Shawl, which I gave to my chef sister in law.
I think this is my favorite of your MKAL designs. I got halfway through the Ghostbusters shawl 2 years ago and just picked it back up again. Can't wait to finish it!
I have those stud buttons! Now I know how to use them!!! Thanks!
So glad it’s helpful!
It’s so beautiful!
Thanks so much! It was fun to knit!

Great ideas. Our local thrift store has a display of cufflinks and I have been debating how well they might work for pinning a shawl together.
Oh, that sounds like a great idea!
Spectacular design, great ideas!, Thanks
Thanks so much—glad you enjoyed

Thanks great ideas
FYI, there are several creators on Etsy selling "Leather Slap Bracelet Rulers" (I searched every descriptor I could imagine).
Good to know--I got a ton of hits with "leather ruler bracelet knitter" since I had no idea what to call them haha

Those buttons look like tuxedo shirt studs. I bet cufflinks would work, too.
Cufflinks are a great idea!
We just finished up Only Yarn in the Building, so the next MKAL will be next February ❤️
