I'd love that too! I've also just recently learned to do basic knitting on needles.

That is all you need to know to do the stitch.  It really is an easy stitch
to do.  Once you get the concept, you will be doing it very quickly.

I would love to have some needle knitting classes! I can cast on, knit, purl
and bind off but I'm really just getting started!

Hi All,

I have recently taught myself to knit one form of the Brioche stitch.  This
is sometimes called Fishermen's rib, German Rib as well as other names.  It
is a slip stitch pattern that can be used with strands of single or multiple
colors.  At this time I am only doing single color work.  The stitch
produces a very thick plush fabric and is usually done with wool.  I've used
both wool and acrylic yarn.  Scarves are a great first project in this
stitch.  If anyone is interested in learning how to do this stitch. I would
be willing to talk to Joyce about my teaching a class.  You would have to
know how to cast on, knit, pearl and bind off.
