Trailing Leaves is back from my tech editor, and it’s ready for test knitting. This is a brioche bandana cowl knit in the round beginning at the neck. It gently increases down to the bottom edge. A central leaf pattern is created with syncopated brioche; syncopated brioche also makes the bottom edge pop. Trailing Leaves is knit with two skeins of fingering weight yarn in contrasting colors.
If you’re interested in test knitting, please let me know in the comments, and I’ll contact you. (Your email is visible to me, but not public.)
I’m currently knitting a second sample; it was perfect airplane and deck knitting this past weekend! We visited friends in Chicago and had a fabulous time.
And a blues show (Stephen Hull Experience) at Rosa’s Lounge, and a late night show at Second City. Whew! We also ate ourselves silly…Filipino, Cambodian, English pub, Chicago deep dish pizza. Our friends Susan and Patrick are phenomenal hosts, as is their sweet dog Luna.
Back to work for me! Let me know if you’d like to test knit!

Hi,
I’m an experienced knitter but have only played around with brioche swatches. I would love to offer my skills and my yarn to try out trailing leaves.
thanks Alexandra
I would love to be a test knitter For the trailing leaves Cowl pattern. Thank you

I love the trailing leaves. Beautiful. Palma G
Thanks, Palma! I love it.
It is beautiful. Someday I’ll tackle Brioche and this looks like a great pattern. I’ll look forward to knitting it someday. Best wishes with your test knitters.
Thank you! Brioche is my favorite kind of knitting…
I would love to test knit for you! I’m an experienced knitter, have knitted brioche, and am starting a yarn business (roll out soon) and would like to use one of my yarns. Thanks for considering!!

What an awesome trip you had!
Michele this cowl is beautiful. Will you be including a shorter version, by any chance? Warmly, Deb Samuels
I didn’t write it as a shorter version, but you could easily just knit to the length that you want, with or without increases.
Gotcha! When do you need to knwo by, for test knitters?
Deb
happy to test knit for you! I took your class last February at Red Alder and finished 2 of your cowls already. I thoroughly enjoyed brioche knitting.

The pattern is beautiful! I would love to test knit, but as you know, I am only learning brioche now.
I would also like to boop Luna on the snoot! xoxo
So very boopable! She’s a very sweet and well-behaved dog. And she loves scritches!

I would love to be test knitter for this project. I am a strong intermediate knitter and have been doing Brioche knitting with increases and decreases for about 5 years. I have never been a test knitter so I would like to know what that entails. Carmen Lambert
