#WIPWednesday This is my second attempt at doing brioche #knitting increases and decreases (the first attempt was frogged). I feel accomplished! This technique had intimidated me for far too long. Now the world of fancy brioche patterns is open to me! @knitting
A piece of knitting, two-coloured brioche style, on 5.5mm interchangeable cable needles. The dominant colour on this side is olive green. The other yarn is variegated olive, cream, and orange. The top section of the knitting contains balanced decreases and increases so that the lines of the knitting make a V shape.
