Old Dog, New Tricks

I just finished MKAL Clue #2 and even though I like the way it looks, I hate that I wimped out on the brioche.  There should be leafy looking things running up the pointy areas but I couldn't wrap my old brain around it even with all the hand holding Stephen West does. 

So I made an early resolution to learn brioche in the up coming year. Since I have a lot of leftover cheap yarn from The Mister's Riddari I thought I would use it and went looking for a colorful gradient that would go with it. I had no idea that these Red Heart skeins were so big when I ordered it. I'm going to have a lot leftover.

The pattern I'm going to use is Brioche Boomerang by Laura Nelkin. It seems pretty simple and comes with a lot of video support. I'm not planning on doing anymore Stephen West MKALs, I'll most likely be knitting on this one for the rest of my life but I will figure out this brioche thing. It's a matter of pride.
