Refverie - Brioche

 I’m trying to learn new knitting techniques but it’s weird bc I don’t want to take a class or ask anyone how to do the complicated stuff. Since my Cheerio friend Bristin Krown (@kb_rown) taught me to knit in high school, I’ve basically taught myself with confusion and YouTube videos, and have slowly added new projects to my repertoire. When I go to a craft club where there are “real Knitters”, I realize there are some little things that I realize I don’t actually know. Like if I had only ever read (but not heard) the word “lingerie” and pronounced it exactly how it’s spelled when I say it out loud and ppl are like “that’s not right, duh” but how would I know bc I’ve only ever read it??? (I saw a tweet about that the other day.) the thing that made me think of this was that I totally have been using stitch markers all wrong. Nobody makes fun of me at knitting clubs because adult people are for the very kind or at least usually polite, but I do like sitting in my little world of “self-taught person who knits but would under no circumstances identify as a Knitter”. Slowly one day I might make a sweater ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ This is a brioche stitch and it’s the first thing I’ve done with two colors throughout. Hopefully it will be a cute hat at the end of it!!! • • • PS showing y’all my planner was funny because ppl knew things I did last week and I was like “how did you know???” Lolol
