RE: #Needlework : Two-colour brioche scarf - 301218
Your knitting looks so neat (before yyou unraveled it :-D) I am curious if you will find a solution for the edge stitches. My friend Silvi also wants to try out brioche (in two colors)... so I can perhaps tell her form your experience. I think I have to wait before I learn, because I could not find a explanation for combination knitting.
Happy new year to you
Thanks, @neumannsalva. Tightening the yarn that you do the yarn over with seems to have worked for me - perhaps I've overdone with the tightening a bit though, but it looks neater :D
Here's a clear video that mentions combination knitters :
She says she's using a garter stitch edge there, so that it bypasses the issues I've had ( that's not garter stitch though). @fiberfrau also mentioned using an edge stitch. I shall investigate that for a next scarf - next year for sure :D
To be honest, this is the way I knit and purl; I have therefore unknowingly being using the combination method at least for knitting and purling all these years :D
I just watched the video but without tone and it looks as if she is purling in combination style and in knitting she changes between inserting the needle in the front leg and then back leg. I think I should watch it with some more time and with the voice :-DDD After this I only need a video how to set brioche up in combination style. Thank you so much for researching the video.
And you also knit combination??! This is so cool! I only know one other person who knits in this style (she works very seldom in a yarn shop in the near) and I must guess at so many things in patterns, as they are mostly written for "normal" knitting.
Looking forward to hear more of your brioche investigations :-D
