My scheduled February Cast On is the Training Wheels cowl. I chose this pattern because I want more practice with the brioche stitch. I cast on my February project yesterday. I tried to cast it on twice on Saturday, but had to rip it out both times. I think brioche is something I will need to watch a video tutorial for each time I start a project.
The pretty pink and brown yarn is from Kathy and the gray yarn is from a Garden Wool & Dye Christmas exchange. I think this cowl will be incredibly squishy.
How are you doing with your knitting plans?

I’ve been linen stitching on my Cowl and I also brought a secret project that is a gift for a friend who reads my blog. It’s the Bousta Beanie but in “Everyday is Halloween” colors.

That will be a beautiful hat. Are you sick of the linen stitch yet? Every time I do it I’m annoyed at how long it takes, but it always looks great when it is done.

I’m the same way with brioche. I have to watch a video to get going but then the knitting memory kicks in and I’m good to go.

It is so squishy, but I can never decide if I actually like it or not.

I haven’t tried brioche stitch yet. I suppose it is on my knitting bucket list. Your yarns are luscious.

Thank you! If you try it I found the BluPrint class to be very helpful. It is hard to wrap your head around.

It looks like it will be beautiful! Me, I’m still in wait mode. I may try knitting a couple of rows on my afghan square. That would be less than 100 stitches, a good test.

No, I caught the flu, and Though I got by with a light case (thank you elderberry syrup) I am going to be very early and sleeping as much as possible.

My two at a time sleeves isn’t working on my jumper, so my plan is to rip out what I’ve done and do them individually and then get back to learning brioche.

That is a bummer. I had high hopes for your sleeve experiment.

It looks super squishy! Brioche is on my “to learn” list but probably not for a while.

You have plenty of time. If you do one a month you will finish easily.

Your cowl is off to a great start! That is beautiful yarn – it is going to look wonderful and be so squishy and warm! I always have to watch a video to get started too. Maybe one day I will have done it enough that it’ll just happen. But today is not that day!
