I thought that was an interesting name for a garment. Nancy S. sent me the link to this pattern, and once I saw it, I couldn't resist. I looked through my stash...certainly I had something that would be the ticket. I found one skein that had been waiting for about 3 years to be picked for a project. I thought it would be perfect! However, I needed another skein to have enough yardage. Hmmm.
I got on-line and I was fortunate enough to find another skein of the same color. I took a chance, ordered it, received it, and it's going to work just fine!! So the project is on the needles!
The "body" starts out with 2 1/2 inches of ribbing and then begins the Lofty Brioche Stitch. I have never seen or tried this stitch before, but I think it's fantastic. More on what this garment is going to look like later...
Glad that you liked the pattern.

DeleteThat is gorgeous! I love the soft colors.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I love the yarn and like you, have always wanted to try the Brioche stitch. Is it difficult?
