Friday Morning Brioche

Our friend Kate Atherley has a new pattern and it is free for a limited time.
A long and skinny triangular shawl, worked in single-color brioche. Reminiscent of a classic ribbed scarf, this is both more interesting to knit and wear: the ribs lie on the diagonal making for great drape, and the fabric is squishy and warm. 
Suitable for knitters with a little bit of brioche experience, or a sense of adventure. It uses only one brioche stitch, so the learning curve isn’t steep. 
The sample shown is worked an interesting gradient: all shades of bright orange. It would look just as good in a solid or semi-solid color, or even a speckle-effect colorway. I wouldn’t recommend a very busy variegated yarn, as you’d lose the definition of the ribs. 
This is a knit-until-you’re-done design, and can be worked with any thickness of yarn.In a chunkier yarn, this is a quick knit and a good way to use up a smaller quantity – sweater leftovers, perhaps? In a finer yarn – a skein of something too good for socks – this would be a great all-season accessory, a nice accent with a light jacket.

Day 14 - your favourite colourway
This is impossible. I am surrounded by colours every day. How am I going to choose just one??

Look at all these amazing fingering weight yarns. Between the three different walls I can pick at least 25 colours that I would like to work with.

I'm Boscoe sitting this evening. Next week he starts puppy class and tonight Beth has gone for orientation. Right now he is sleeping in his crate. This gives me a few minutes to write. Once he wakes up I'll be busy. He is one active little guy.
