I’d had thought it will block out. Pop it on some waste yarn and try it now before you get any further.

I'd frog it, soak and rewind the yarn, and put it in a cupboard to reflect while I knitted something else.

I met Stephen West at an Edinburgh Yarn Festival he seemed to be a really sweet soul. Interested in other people.

I'd never heard of brioche stitching before but really enjoyed the video:)

I love the look of Stephen West stuff but have yet to work one up.

Brioche (and entrelac) are on my ‘learn list’

Thanks for introducing me to Stephen West! I'm in the middle of a Brioche scarf at the moment, and loving it, it's like half the effort of rib, but twice as squishy.

I gave up on entrelac a little while ago, but will revisit it one day.

I love Stephen West's designs but am sworn off knitting artworks that nobody I know will ever find a use for.

Started my Escape beanie today :)

I've had lots of use from my Exploration station, but the Building Blocks MKAL one got frogged even though it was nearly finished as I just couldn't like the odd shape

Eldest girl has chosen the wool for her new v'rap hat, it's been wound into a ball and I'm about to tackle cables for the first time, wish me luck!

Enjoy, JEB :) It's very straightforward, though if you do the cast-on I've suggested the first round after casting on is a slog. I finished another one this morning and will post a photo once I've decided whether to make a bobble for it or use a ready made one.
