Frogged back to my mistake. 16 rows of two color brioche. It's a good thing that palette and chroma are such "sticky" yarns.

Increasing and decreasing in brioche are so satisfying.

Notes

I have a sneaking suspicion that I’m gonna need a brioche refresher, sock madness… cough, cough. This is a beautiful shawl that im sure will provide that. Im using leftovers because I am now officially on a non-sock madness related yarn diet for the foreseeable future.
The palette in white will be the mc and the chroma will be the cc.
A very nice, fun to knit, satisfying pattern.

So… apparently I somehow messed up part 3.
After investigating I noticed that I decreased too early at the beginning of the second part 3 repeat. Now to decide if I care enough to frog back to fix it…

After sleeping on it i decided that i couldn’t live with my mistake, so i frogged back 16 rows. Luckily palette and chroma are such “sticky” yarns.

Welp, I’ve now caught up to where I was when I noticed my mistake. One more repeat of part 3.

Hey, I finally got through the third part.

I am now at the point in this project when I start to worry if I have enough yarn left. I have plenty of the palette but I’m gonna be cutting it close with the chroma.

Great news! I’ll have enough yarn. Phew!! I hate yarn chicken.no_entry_sign chicken

The knitting is finished, I love brioche knitting but it takes so long. Now it just needs a serious wet blocking, then onto the next project…

After a few days of rainy weather, the sun came out and I was able to get some nice finished photos.
