sometimes happiness is sitting in a coffee shop, sipping a latte, waiting for your food order to be ready, and suddenly realizing that you made a few mistakes two rows down in your brioche swatch - immediately followed by realizing you are relaxed enough to take on the challenge of fixing it stitch by stitch rather than frogging

better learn on a swatch than the frog the project

Pattern 4 - Gentleman's cuff

It's not the first historic pattern, I've seen, I know they tend to be ... brief. But if I didn't already know what to do for at least brioche - no way, no how.

Mending! I gave this Heliotrope hat (pattern by PDXKnitterati) to a friend and it's been worn and well-loved. Today it came back for a bit of mending so I had an excuse to pull out my darning loom.

Finished knitting Bex's hat. It's a pattern by Ysolda Teague. Learned how to do two colour brioche while making it. It's reversible! The yarn is Scheepjes chunky monkey, it's a present for my mum who can't do wool. #Knitting #BriocheKnitting #BionicLauraKnits

I’ve been teaching myself brioche knitting using a course from Ysolda Teague. Tonight I’m tackling reversible decreases on a two colour brioche hat. It’s tricky but not too bad once you get the first round done. I love the textur of brioche, it’s so squishy. #Knitting #KnittingTechniques #BriocheKnitting
