[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Brioche knitting

[Tracy Carcione]

Hi Cindy.
My 2 balls are distinctly different sizes, so telling them apart is easy. 
However, in the next section of knitting, I think I will have 2 colors of
the same kind of yarn, so I'll keep your idea in mind.

I learned what the brioche looks like.  My one color is multi-color, and
the other is purple.  The knitting is long, vertical ribs.  On one side,
the ridges are multi-color, and the valleys between are purple.  On the
other side the colors are reversed.
My classmate showed me her knitting last night.  She knits looser than I
do, so her piece was relaxed and fluffy.  Mine is tighter, so it's
thicker-feeling than her piece.
