I’ve been on a brioche kick. Thanks to PDXknitterati, I have mastered much of the new nomenclature of brioche, I’ve been on a kick to do a lot of it to cement it into my brain. Keep in mind, I’ve been knitting brioche since I discovered the “Built for Comfort Hoodie” it in Vogue Knitting’s Winter ‘98/‘99 issue (Vol. 16, No. 3).
I’m currently knitting another sweater from the same Vogue Magazine issue: an Adrienne Vittidini Turtleneck Pullover. I’ve knit it once before (my sweater is the example in Ravelry). This time I’m dressing it up a bit with some furry yarn: Bernat Marmot and some vintage Brunswick Germantown Worsted.
What I think I’m trying to do is make my items seem simple to do by repetition. But it’s not working, because right now all I can think about is doing a *really* simple project. Something to cleanse my knitting palette.
Do you ever feel like this? And if so, what do you do to get your maker mojo back?

Crochet, I know; but you probably do both equally well .. 🙂

I wish! I can barely crochet at all. But I’m eager to learn.

When I was young and living away from home I could knit but not crochet. No-one around to teach me, and CERTAINLY nothing like the Internet !! So I decided it must be much like knitting; and from that moment on have crocheted exactly like single needle knitting !
Still, it ends up just the same. 😀

Hi Kristin! Did you get the updated Brioche Pastiche pattern, with the alternate crown? It’s an update in Ravelry. I love both crowns!

In fact, the green hat is the “new” one and the purple is the old. Can’t wait to see you at Red Alder this year! I’m, of course, taking another of your classes. ❤
