Bjerk
I have managed to make progress on some of my projects. Here’s Bjerk at stage 1:
and stage 2:
Look how fast it grew!
Given how little I’ve worked on it, it really has grown quickly. I think I like the way the dark green is showing up as the spots. I went ahead and stranded here (using three colors at once. Ugh) instead of doing duplicate stitch like I thought. It just seemed faster, and I won’t have to go back and finish it.
I’ll probably be setting this aside for a short time (sorry mom!) to work on The Nanny Sweater. Once I get going on that I’ll flip back and forth a bit. There is a LOT of moss/seed stitch in TNS. A lot. I’ll probably get sick of it after a while and need a break. Bjerk has lots of stockinette. Perfect for mindless movie knitting!
Brioche Scarf
The colors shown here aren’t really very true. It’s a bit more sky-blue than in real life. (it’s more of a dusty blue). But, you can see the pattern. It looks a lot like plain ribbing, but it’s Brioche stitch. I really like the feel of this fabric. Super drapey/scrunchy/yummy feeling! The yarn is really soft too - Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran.

Is the scarf for you? I love seeing all your projects. I think you really come up with beautiful things to knit. I’m looking forward to pictures and discussion of TNS as it seems different than the things you have been doing lately.
