It doesn’t sound like it because I’ve been talking about it for a long time now, but I’ve been upset with brioche for a long time. I had resigned myself to the fact that brioche was just something I ate. But everything changed the day I realized these two things.
Two years after my first Pommes de Pin shawl, I wanted to knit a new version and chose the cowl version to highlight the light and delicate speckles. As much as I love the wide, cozy version included in the pattern, that’s not what I wanted for this yarn. I wanted something lighter. So I had to face the facts and frog to start again.. Narrower.
I have a lot of knitting desires now that the mojo is back. Especially as I find that knitting a few stitches here and there is much easier when doing knitolire rather than knitflix.
My list of desires (and commitments) is long … and it’s only getting longer as the days go by.
One of the things I love most about my work as a designer is seeing YOU reinterpret my patterns. Here are a few examples to inspire you the next time you’re looking for a two-tone brioche shawl pattern. — PS: If you’d like to have your photos included in future Jolis Tricots, don’t forget to share them on IG!
ps: in addition to my bi-monthly letter in which I give a glimpse of behind-the-scene of tisserin coquet and share with you all of my latests favourites in the crafting world, you’ll also get 20% off all my new patterns.
