Many pets for the wee kid

Brioche is new to me but I can say it is fun. How complicated it is to you is going to be a personal thing. For example, I can't really do lace because I cannot memorize the patterns so lace is very, very complicated for me.
This brioche is challenging, but in a good way. And once you truly learn it, that's it. You'll be able to do it moving forward unlike say, lace, where you'd still need to memorize each new pattern for every new project.

I do think Soundwaves is a good first brioche knit project. It's written very clearly and the project itself is direct and pretty simple in what he's having you make. It looks more complex than it is. Plus, it's good practice. And Stephen has good brioche tuts. That all said, I'm going to be moving on to Bixbite before being anywhere near finished Soundwaves because that was my goal from the start. Though now I'm a little nervous because I found an error in my Soundwaves this morning and was really at a loss on how it happened and how to fix it/move on. That is, I did move on but I wound up doing a decrease in order to do so. Don't let me scare you. This all sounds worse than it was.

I'm learning brioche knitting by working on Stephen West's "Brioche Soundwaves" so I can make a Bixbite shawl. It's going well!

I'm also working on a Dreyma sweater and an Anthology Throw.

It was not difficult for me to sign up. I had to give some moments of thought to each step except the form application which I gave a couple moments of thought. I was kind of glad it wasn't instant-simple because I'd prefer thinking people be here.

That prolly sounds smackish but it's just my directness. I really didn't have any problems.

It does get better. Keep at it. There's an app called Smoke Free that did it for me. Icon is a green heart. I'm at 3 years, 3 months, 3 weeks. You got this.

I'm reading a lot more too.

Relay Pro. Stopped going.

Creeping thyme is a contender. You could do a contrast color creeping thyme in the raised box.

Low water, no maintenance, low cost from easy seed sowing. Easy peasy.

I am also for a split off knitting group. https://beehaw.org/c/creative is the current space. Please do post your knitting there and join in the conversation so we can see your WIPS and finished objects. I would love to see them.

Knitting or a unified fiberarts would be fantastic.
