I love brioche work spans this pattern is beautiful so I had to purchase it! I have several projects yet to finished but looking forward to starting this.

I made this one as well and you might find it a little easier as a first brioche project.

Ramble pattern by Andrea Mowry
Simple garter stripes kick off this bias shaped, asymmetrical shawl. Finishing off with brioche herringbone, letting the colors play together in a whole new way that offers a burst of light at the end...

I believe it’s just fingering yarn but I do tend to be a loose knitter and don’t worry much about the gauge with a scarf or shawl.

I started knitting again once I retired and then during the pandemic I really hit it strong.

It’s the Jones Cardigan by Tin Can Knits. The yarn is Berroco Vintage DK.

I consider us both very lucky to have each other and grown together. It will be 50 years in July. 🥰
