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!
