Powering through this brioche knitting

When you want a snack, but you don’t want orange dust on your knitting, chopsticks are the perfect snack tool. Just sayin’.

Dropped stitch, oops!

I tried a different brioche 4 stitch decrease on this project. It’s a lot faster. But it’s also prone to dropped stitches, so I’m not going to recommend it. Which means I don’t have to make a video tutorial after all! My tried and true slowpoke method is a better choice for me.

In case you’re daring and want to try this one: Slip 3 stitches as if to knit 3 together. Knit the next two stitches together. Pass the 3 stitches back over the k2tog. (Don’t forget to pass the yarn overs along with the stitches when slipping/knitting/passing.) That’s it! But I found 3 dropped stitches in that round, so I won’t be doing that again.

I did manage to fix the dropped stitches, and I just finished binding off. Now it’s soaking. Looking forward to seeing how much this grows (I hope) with blocking!
