    Admirable teaching - clear, cute, slow enough, lots of repeats, and encouraging. Yay! Thank you, Stephen!

    Stephen, thank you so much for separating the tutorial between Continental and English styles. You create great tutorials normally, and this makes it even easier to understand the instructions when we don't have to transfer back and forth between the two styles together in one lesson. 😊

    I love you!! I have started and failed to learn brioche knitting several times, each time with just a mess. Your tutorial is so darn accessible and understandable! “Don’t go out without your shawl. Uh oh, lost your shawl, it wanted to be a belt, get back up there. The first step is knowing it looks weird.” I cannot thank you enough!

    • @doomfloof101
      @doomfloof101 Před rokem +5

      The shawl that wanted to be a belt was exceptionally endearing.

    “Don’t go out the door without your shawl.” This has MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE for me. I can’t wait to dig in to a simple brioche experience so I can move on to brioche with increases and decreases.

  • @johannaromeijn2591
    @johannaromeijn2591 Před 3 lety +55

    I Will never forget the stitch that cannot go out without a shawl anymore! Wow, you make Brioche less intimidating for me! I am really going to try this. Thank you!!

    In all my life I've never encountered a man knowing more about knitting than me. I love that I know nothing about brioche knitting and that the first video i find about it is a guy explaining so clearly and understandingly.
    I'm sorry if i assumed genders and i might come over as close minded. Im trying to broaden my horizons and I'm still Learning. Not just about knitting. 😅

  • @gerridauer9092
    @gerridauer9092 Před 3 lety +52

    Thank you Stephen! That was the clearest demo of brioche that I have ever seen. I feel like you have opened a whole other world of knitting to me. I have wanted to try some of your beautiful brioche patterns but was afraid. I took a brioche class at a yarn shop years ago. There were about 20 people crammed around a table. I went back for help the next day when I got something wrong. The owner was very rude and told me I needed to learn to read my knitting. I had paid for the class and bought my yarn there. I was not a customer of that shop again and I avoided brioche from then on. I’ve so been wanting to learn. Thank you again. I have bought the Craftsy class too and had watched a little. This really clarifies it all for me and I am going to work on this and watch more of that, as I know she’s a good teacher as well, but I was intimidated by it. You have a wonderful way of explaining things and now I feel I can tackle the class and try Exploration Station which I have wanted to do for years!

    @DDPizazz Před 11 měsíci +2

    very helpful! I never understood how to slip the stiches to the other needle on the circular needles. I was poking each one by hand. Silly me. Just sliding it down is so easy!. You've made such a great video here. So many good tips and demonstration, I cannot even count them. Thank you.

  • @zoyamichel215

  • @samiraamysperryfaldet8969

    I am only 9:06 in and I have to pause to say, you are the best, sweetest, teacher! Your metaphors make total sense, your noticings are so helpful, and though I am so new at knitting I know it will be awhile before I can do this, I know it will be at the ready so that I can like you are there with me. I just thank you so much for what this means to me. I lost my cousin before she could finish teaching me more than just garter and so I have dedicated myself to learning with you tube and you have become a very favorite accidental "cousin" and you make it so soft and kind and comforting. Thank you for wonderfully explaining and demonstrating something that can be quite daunting! I can't wait to do one of your designs once I learn this! 🐉You give me dragon confidence!!

  • @francag.3422
    @francag.3422 Před 2 lety

    In the round it becomes very easy if you knit the MC on the other side and the BC on the inner side. Like two spirals together one clockwise one counterclockwise. Knitting is like normal brioche. Nice technic also for garter etc in the round

  • @lbgerlach
    @lbgerlach Před rokem

    Love the images, “shawl on the shoulder” and details like yarn in front before slip. I learned it’s all in the details esp what happens at ends of rows. Also to NOT practice with the buffalo/alpaca I bought for my scarf!! Poof!! Thank you!! You saved me.

    Thank you for showing both knitting methods. I use whichever method works best for what I am knitting. I also appreciate showing how to recognize mistakes AND how to correct them. I just purchased your “night nook” sweater and was wondering how to do the saddle. Your instructions are easy to follow, but much more concentration intensive. You are the Kaffe of this generation. Both innovative, creative, and fun. Thank you.

  • @ChemCath
    @ChemCath Před rokem +1

    I realize now why I don’t use the Continental method: it requires you to move the fingers of your left hand to manipulate the yarn and hold the yarn taut for the stitches. I am extremely right side dominant. My left side of my body is pretty much just along for the ride. My right hand/foot has to do all the hard stuff. The left hand just holds the needle. I am not saying never for Continental, but it won’t be soon.

  • @scientificexplorergirl3374

    This is a great tutorial. I began my first brioche project this year and I fould the slyo abbreviations very confusing for an Eglish style knitter. For brk rows it should be ytf, sl. For brp rows I simplify the yo and do it along with the slip, all in one motion. For this I "load" my needle with the slip then yarn over then let them both fall off the left needle to the right. I think it's a bit more efficient. Thank you for the tutorial!!
