@KarenStrickholm I love your muted palette! I wanted to join in with but wanted to use up partial skeins so mine is rather over the top colourful and at first I hated it, but by the time I’d finished I was happy with my combinations born of necessity. It is huge.

I picked up my after a break and my row counter didn't tally with my notes so I had lost my place. So I ripped out and started over, this time reversing the colour sequence as per Stephen's instructions. I finished sections 1-3 in two days, so I'm off to a good start!

Knitting Nerd Report:

Just 1-1/2 rows to finish of section 4 - garter ridge stripes. Then a mega-increase row, going from 285 to 381 stitches in one pass. Then section 5, another multi-color slip stitch band like first one. That's gonna suck up LOTS of hours. Then another easy 2-color band, a final band of 5-color slip stitches, and a chevron finish. This is turning out to be a major enterprise, all on US3 needles. Gonna need a softball next! 🧶

@WestCoastChelle OMG thank you so much! I worked hard on color choices, I wanted something deep, rich, low contrast. The colors are the super-fun part of this HKAL, check out these pages of other color choices - endlessly fascinating!

Here we go folks, plowing through the striped section 4 of the Stephen West for the (Hiber Knit Along).

This is maybe the hardest thing I've ever made in knitting... partly because the palette is dark, making stitches hard to see on US3 needles. Nonetheless, am enjoying it. Have 4 other things on needles. Knitter's dilemna!

Good evening, mastoknitters! Here is my version of Stephen West/WestKnits' . There are close to 1,000 knitters participating in this (Hiber Knit A-Long). We all cast on on Dec 26th, most of us are about 1/2 way through.

It's a five color knit, with an innovative use of Ye Olde Slipped Stitch employed. Only one color yarn is held at a time, mercifully. The many permutations can be seen on . Soooo fun! 🧶🤗

@Pdlaon Hi LL, how is your coming along?! I have just 1-1/2 rows left until the first stripe section. That first pattern band was HARD!

I had to go really slow and majorly focus to do it. Still recovering from a brain injury and while the mental challenges are good, it takes something to push through. Also bad neuropathy in my hands. Knitting is major on my road to recovery! Here's a pic of where I'm at now.

@DoubleTreble Thanks Miss Double, I worked really hard on color selection for this one. I made color boards even, in Canva, like this, which is also helpful to see color values in black and white. Loving the whole process with this one!

Greatly enjoying this knit! A Stephen West design spotlighting dropped stitches, this current is now underway w close to 1,000 people around the world participating. It's a blast to see all the palettes chosen on .

Knitters nerd note - I screwed up when purchasing yarn for this, was supposed to be 400yds/100g per color, and I got 400yds/55g. A friend pointed out "It's ok, it will just be summer weight" and she was right! Thank God. 💞🧶🙏

Gosh I'm having a blast, knitting Stephen West's for the ... Five colors, mostly working with dropped stitches, no carrying (just knitting or purling with one strand at a time). I might have to make this one twice!
