Notes

LOVE IT…..LOVE IT….LOVE IT.

Clue 4, was a “doddle” just seven repeats of chevrons.

Blocking will take a while, and cannot wait to wear this gorgeousness.

It must be a brilliant pattern, cos I am already thinking up different colours for another one.

Pattern was so nicely set out. I must admit I did have a little trouble with the two colour brioche, but as suggested by Stephen, I did a small sample which helped tremendously.

A: Main colour yummy yarn called “vegemite”.
B: followed by orange
C: then cream
D: then maroon.

LOVE….LOVE…LOVE…. THIS SHAWL…..!!!

Up to clue 3!

Knit, Knit, Knit……time to relax after the Brioche stitch.
Took me a while to get the hang of it, but thanks to Stephen’s YouTube instructions, I eventually worked it out. And….YES…I ended up doing a “sample” piece.

It’s no fun backing back 6 rows of mistakes. THE Yarn Forwards are the clue to it working. Get it wrong and it won’t work!!!!….YES I stuffed them up BIG TIME.
