Remember this? It was worth frogging, re-skeining, soaking, rewinding.
I’ve been dreaming all year about a way to combine brioche and assigned pooling/algorithmic knitting in a way that pleases me. I’ve done a lot of knitting and frogging along the way.
I love this color pooling yarn from Yarn Snob/Knits All Done; the green/purple is Bellina, which is named for an orchid. I wanted to make it sing! Bisquee thinks it looks good, too. Do you see peacock feathers? Flames?
I had first used some of this yarn to design Trailing Leaves (coming soon!). It’s lovely, but you can’t see the pooled stitches, so Trailing Leaves will be just brioche. And no, I didn’t frog this cowl!
I frogged this one, that I knit with the remaining yarn. And I’m glad I did.
Side note: Test knitting for Trailing Leaves is wrapping up, and I’m planning to publish it next week. I have a wonderful group of test knitters; we’ve had a great time working on this. I’ve knit two more samples along with them. Stay tuned!

You and your talent both are inexhaustible, Michele !
or I’m nuts!
Trailing leaves is beautiful!!
Thank you! It was worth knitting…four times!
I just see beautiful on the new yarn pooling brioche cowl. You had asked peacock feathers or flames….I see beautiful peacock feathers.
Thank you! They’re really fun to knit, whatever they are.
that new pooling design looks fantastic! I’m so glad you didn’t give up on the idea.
I really love it! I’m playing with more ideas for it, too.
This is a great use for that lovely pooling yarn, and it is beautiful blended in with the brioche!
I love it, and it blocked really nicely, too!
I think Bisquee is absolutely right. It’s gorgeous!

And pretty straightforward and fun to knit, too!
