[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Brioche knitting

[Zimmer, Cindy]

Tracy are you putting any kind of marker on your different colors of yarn?  For instance a chip clip on the red, a paperclip on the green etc.  You will feel the marker and know you got the right color.

Subject: [NFB-Krafters-Korner] Brioche knitting

I'm finally getting this brioche knitting down.  I had to go to the yarn store for some help, but they figured out I was doing one of my yarn-overs wrong, and that was causing all my problems.  I had to rip out what I'd done and start over for the third time, but third time's the charm and now I'm rolling along.

The person at the yarn store thought it would be really hard for a blind person to do this stitch, but, now that I'm doing my yarn-overs right, it's not bad.  I just have to be careful to always know which color I'm grabbing.
That slows things down a bit at the end of every other row, but not too bad.

I have conquered the brioche stitch!

Tracy
