The local yarn store where I knit, Colorful Yarns, has a sample shawl displayed just inside the front door. My best knitting bud (that would be Deb, the utterly fearless and adventurous knitter) and I kept looking at it and trying it on. So cute. Just the right size. Brioche. Garter. Shawl lust occurred. The sample was knit in black and a golden yellow multi yarn… not my colors, but I could see the potential. The pattern, Marfa, and I went home together when I left that afternoon.
I’m not going to lie. The brioche and I had some misunderstandings at first. The pattern and I had some disagreements and mistakes were made. The cats insisted that they should get their claws into the squishy yumminess and had to be put into time out (AKA the garage).
Last week I cast off, blocked, and took it out for some pictures.
I haven’t woven in the ends yet, but it is done, right? Ha! I’ll get to it in the next day or so. I’m waiting for some snow.
Hope you all had a great weekend.

Wow! That’s gorgeous! Those yarns played together perfectly.
Thanks. I was looking for a black to go with the grey multi when I realized that I should go with the same dyer so that the bright highlights would match. So happy with the decision.
Oh my! Love it! Thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome. I am already thinking about colors for making another one.
Beautiful. After your last post I decided to give Brioche another try and fell in love with it.
I’ve fallen in love too. I’ve been hunting through patterns looking for another good brioche pattern.
Beautiful!
Thank you!
That is a gorgeous shawl. I have got to learn brioche. I keep seeing so many great knits.
I started out with a two color cowl, and I watched a lot of YouTube videos to help. Once I had caught on it was fun
Beautiful! Can’t wait to start working on mine again. Just too many WIPs I want finished yesterday!
I’m drowning in the WIPs too, oh fearless knitting buddy. :-
It’s beautiful!
Thanks. I’m really happy with how it turned out. 🙂
That is gorgeous and the two yarns really do play well together!
Thanks. I wear a lot of black and grey so this shawl will be a work horse for me. 🙂
I do too! I might have to make myself one!
Wow! This is gorgeous, Marilyn. I’m working on my first brioche project now and REALLY enjoying it though I must admit there have been some misunderstandings here as well. LOL!
It kind of messes with your head, doesn’t it. Dropped stitches and errors were a nightmare until I finally realized how it all worked. I just LOVE the final knitted product. Brioche love!
The shawl is SO PRETTY!!!!
What a beautiful shawl! I love the little pops of colour coming through. I’m glad you weren’t put off by the weirdly downbeat colourway names!
Thanks. I’m really happy with it. It’s been warm here, but as soon as it gets colder I will get to show it off.
