How to Knit 2 Color Brioche Rib Flat

January 2, 2017 1 Comment

Demystify flat two color brioche rib knitting with this easy to follow video tutorial featuring Heidi Gustad from the blog Hands Occupied.

Knitting brioche can be fun and challenging! Last year around this time, I introduced you to knitting two color brioche knitting in the round as part of the Funkasonic Knit Along. This month, as part of the Exquisite Mystery Knit Along, I thought it would be fun to incorporate some brioche in the design once again.(Lost? Learn all about the Knit Along here.) Each week of this knit along, I’ll be sharing video tutorials to help guide you through the most challenging techniques featured in the pattern. After all, January is selfish knitting month, so why not grab the Exquisite Mystery pattern and expand your knitting skill set while making something beautiful?

First up in this week’s tutorials, we’re looking at how to knit two color brioche flat. Last year, we used two color brioche knit in the round to add a super stretchy cuff to the mittens and socks we made. This year, we’re working flat and using brioche to create some funky vertical stripes. Tune in later this week for more tutorials to take your brioche knitting to the next level!

Since it won’t be clean for long, swipe to see w Since it won’t be clean for long, swipe to see what my home studio looks like these days. Nothing will ever quite be like the old Hands Occupied Studio, but I’m pretty pleased with how I shoehorned everything in this space. Function over form + a layer of yarn cuteness-meets-chaos is how I’d describe my creative space needs. 😆 When I was still renting the studio, those needs included “doesn’t rain suspicious brown water from a crack in the ceiling for a year,” so this is an improvement! 😆
.
For a time lapse of the studio organizing and tszuj-ing process, scroll down a couple posts on my feed. (There’s also a video or two featuring the old studio if you’re curious.) Happy June, friends!

Who doesn’t love magic loop knitting? Who doesn’t know what it is? How about when circular needles were invented?

In todays new bl0g post + video tutorial, you’ll learn about the magic loop method for knitting in the round, how to do it and why to use it, and when it came to be. The 🔗 is in my b1o. 🧶

Finally organizing & putting the finishing touches Finally organizing & putting the finishing touches on my home studio. After losing my studio space last fall, it’s feels really great to *occupy* this new space all the way. 😉
.
I started by removing general clutter & returning straggler supplies from various WIPs, videos & design deadlines to their homes. Next, I hung a third peg board in the space - this one is mostly for display and less for organizing tools or projects. For the first time ever, I’m displaying projects from my book, plus a couple other faves. (The best thing about designing more yarn crafts besides knit & crochet is that I have some really fun -and delightfully pettable 😆- samples around.) I finished by adding a square dowel to my small supply storage tower to keep it from tipping over, plus re-arranging and de-cluttering the closet. 
.
This cleaner space already has me feeling so much more creative and less overwhelmed. Now to find a safe spot in the basement for the tower of project samples in Rubbermaid tubs I liberated from my WIPs closet. Also why are there five?! 
.
Here’s to keeping it clean for a few weeks! 🧶
