Two color brioche is...actually, it's pretty easy so far
I'm making the cowl portion of this pattern in black and gray Cascade 220. So far, it's complicated, but not terribly difficult, especially as a first foray into colorwork. I'm considering a nice, fluffy brioche afghan/throw based on flattening out the cowl pattern, adding X number of stitches (haven't decided yet) and going up to a size ten needle, because I am ALL OVER the idea of a soft, cushy, stretchy, extra-thick lap blanket for winter in the Midwest.
I also noticed I have more than a few random skeins of bulky or super bulky yarn lying around the house, plus a bulky yarn shawl that I have never actually liked or worn. I may have to unravel the shawl and get the other yarn, then knit them up into a simple pattern that will let me use all kinds of colors in a riotous, bohemianish afghan or shawl.
Knitting is a lovely hobby to have. There's always something new to learn or different to make.
