>>>>>>>>>>> editorial
“Now wake up and get clicking!” Ten-ish years ago, Pam Allen used that
phrase to sign off the fi rst ever editor’s note for Knitscene. In the last ten years,
Knitscene has grown and evolved in so many ways, and it’s humbling and terrifying
and daunting to try to write an editor’s note for this, our tenth anniversary issue—
more so than every other editor’s note I’ve had to write. I talk more about the last
ten years of the magazine on pages 42 and 44.
Knitscene has always strived to provide fun knitting projects that can be
completed relatively quickly, trying to blend projects a new knitter could tackle
while also providing a little challenge to more experienced knitters. In this issue,
we’re running our fi rst brioche story, Brioche Building Blocks (pages 16–22). Brioche
knitting is one of those things that generally appears more difficult than it is—if you
can work in knit one, purl one rib and create yarnovers, you can knit brioche. Plus,
we have an excerpt from Mercedes Tarasovich-Clark’s Brioche Chic to help you get
started. Already proficient with this technique? There are a couple of projects for
you, too.

 A typical interaction with Mari
Chiba begins with “I have a
vision!” or “I have a crazy
idea!”—and quite often,
these wacky ideas (or some
version of them) become
reality. I first met Mari at
the Summer 2012 TNNA
Trade Show in Columbus,
Ohio, when she was working
in the Lotus Yarns booth. It
wasn’t long after that chance
encounter that she became
my colleague at Stitchcraft
Marketing.

Over the years, I’ve gotten to know

Mari better, despite the fact that we
live in different parts of the country;
an integral part of our day involves
chatting over Skype to discuss issues
related to work, designing, and yarn—
and sometimes, completely random
things that have nothing to do with
the fi ber-arts industry!
Unsurprisingly, Mari’s “crazy” ideas
spill over into the world of designing.
For proof of that, look no further than
her “Two Hands” series, which puts
an interesting spin on traditional
colorwork motifs by splitting an image
in half between two wearable pieces
(mittens or gloves). When asked about
her approach, Mari admits that she
designs things she likes to knit and
wear: “I go for clean lines, and I like
pretty simple stitches.” The result is
a body of work that features designs
that are eye-catching, modern, and
easy to wear.
Like so many fi ber folks I know,
Mari has an interesting backstory:
her mother tried to teach her to knit

Semi-Worsted Spun It wasn’t too much of a leap to
Pattern page 60 begin designing: Mari admits that
she has never been a person to follow
directions, and after a few frustrating
attempts at following patterns with
lackluster results, she began to make
up her own designs for hats, cowls,
and shawls, mostly by trial and error.
By this point, she had moved to China
to teach English, which is where she
happened to meet the owner of Lotus
Yarns. This serendipitous encounter
proved to be mutually beneficial.
Mari started writing patterns for the
company in exchange for free yarn,
opening a veritable Pandora’s box
(albeit, one filled with yarn).
When Mari’s pattern appeared on
the cover of the Unofficial Harry Potter
Knits (Ginny’s Cardigan), the compul-
sion to design only grew stronger. “I
dream of sweaters and they won’t stop
bugging me until they come into life
in yarn!” she jokes, but only a little—
like most jokes, there is a grain of
truth behind the punchline, and Mari
has an incredible drive coupled with a
truly artistic approach. “I get an idea,
and I develop it into a design, but once
it’s out there, it’s up to the world to
interpret,” she says.
While Ravelry has made it possible
for virtually anyone to share a design
with the world, it takes quite a bit of
determination and creativity to make
working in the fiber-arts industry a
job that can reliably pay the bills. Mari
does a little bit of everything during a
typical work week: in addition to self-
publishing her own work and submit-
ting to well-known publications such
as Knitscene and Interweave Knits,
she teaches part-time at her local yarn

have improved over the last year—but
as much as I love designing, I just can’t

thing for me.”
Mari and I often joke that we both
need clones to accomplish everything
on our to-do lists, not to mention
everything we wish we could get done
on any given day. However, with the
pace at which Mari’s design career has
started to take off, I predict that the

might become less of a punchline in the
not-so-distant future! ❤

Brioche
 
Mercedes Tarasovich-Clark

Mercedes has done incredible work designing with brioche stitch over the last few years.
Her book Brioche Chic included the most perfect and precise explanation of what you need
to know to knit brioche. So we borrowed a bit of information to help you master this stitch.
For more information and beautiful projects, grab a copy of Brioche Chic!

To begin to work in brioche,

and fully fall in love with the
possibilities of the stitch, you’ll first
need to learn a few basics. Once
you understand the basic stitch
structure, you can then learn how
to choose yarns and needles that
help you fine-tune your brioche
projects, work cast-on and bind-
off methods that pair well with
brioche, and shape brioche with
increases and decreases.

>>>>>>>>>> book excerpt

1
The Structure of Brioche
To create brioche’s unique structure, we
rely on an alternating pattern of slipped and
knit (or purled) stitches. Each row or round
is worked in two passes, which equal one
completed row or round. As alternate stitches
are worked, they’re not merely slipped but
slipped while a companion yarnover is simulta-
neously worked. This stitch, the sl1yo, is what
creates brioche knitting’s “enmeshed” struc-
ture. Once you have sl1yo stitches in place,
these stitch/yarnover pairings are either knit
or purled in the brioche method, as a brk
2 3 (brioche knit) or brp (brioche purl).

SL1YO (SLIP ONE, YARNOVER)

This is a stitch combination that creates a
stitch/yarnover pairing, which counts as a sin-
gle stitch. Following a knit or brk (brioche knit)
stitch, bring yarn to front between needle tips,
slip next stitch purlwise and simultaneously
bring yarn over needle to back of work (fig. 1).
Following a purl or brp (brioche purl) stitch,
with yarn in front, slip next stitch purlwise and
simultaneously bring yarn over needle to back
of work.
4 5 BRK (BRIOCHE KNIT)

These three basic stitches make up the major-

point, as in traditional knitting, the options
to expand upon the basics are diverse and
limited only by your imagination!

 Choosing Yarns
and Needles
In spite of brioche knitting’s unusual structure,
most yarns are open as options. Depending
on your desired result, there are some things
to take into consideration when choosing yarn
and needles for your brioche projects.

GAUGE
Brioche knitting creates a naturally loose,
“fluffy” stitch. When worked on needles in the
size suggested on any given yarn’s label, the
resulting stitches are often much too loose,
especially for any garment requiring structure
to fit well. I recommend knitting brioche on
needles two or three sizes smaller than you
normally might for a yarn’s suggested gauge.
For example, if I were using a worsted-weight
wool that had a recommended needle size of
U.S. 8 (5 mm) on the label, I would use a
U.S. 5 or U.S. 6 needle (3.75 or 4 mm) to knit
that yarn in brioche.

For sweaters and other garments that rely

on a proper fit, the appropriate needle and
yarn choice can make or break your garment.
Brioche knit at too loose of a gauge may not
hold its shape and can grow in size over time.
This may not be a concern with smaller acces-
sory patterns that don’t rely on fit, but it could
spell disaster for a larger sweater project.
Swatch generously when checking your gauge
against the pattern to be sure of a good match
for your project.

The samples shown are all knit with a

worsted-weight yarn on U.S. sizes 3 (top),
6 (middle), and 9 (bottom), respectively
(3.25, 4, and 13 mm). While the brioche
structure remains obvious on all of the
swatches, the middle swatch, knit on
U.S. 6 needles (4 mm), would be the best
choice for any garment needing to hold
its shape and gauge.

TEN YEARS OF
®

Photo by Carol Kaplan

Amy Palmer

My knitting career is just a bit younger than Knitscene—I started knitting almost nine years
ago, in the fall of 2006. My friend Betsy had taken up the needles, and I asked her to teach
me. My grandmother had tried to teach me nearly twenty years earlier, but as with many
young knitters, the skills didn’t quite stick then. But when Betsy helped me pick out an inex-
pensive pair of needles and yarn, then sat down with me to go over the now all-too familiar
motions of knitting, something inside clicked, and I became a knitting addict.

As a twenty-something woman just diving into this

new world of crafting, I spent a lot of time and money
gathering up various knitting resources, and Knitscene
was one of them. Like many of our readers, I was drawn
to the combination of stylish, approachable projects,
never dreaming that one day I would inherit the incred-
ible work that former editor Lisa Shroyer had built over
most of the magazine’s life.
Just as any publication evolves over its lifetime,
Knitscene has seen changes in the last ten years.
We’ve had only a handful of editors, all of whom left
their own stamps on the pages and the projects of
the magazine. We keep experimenting with features,
departments, and kinds of articles, trying to find the
perfect balance. As the publishing world evolves, we
evolve with it, trying to bridge the ever-widening gap
between digital media and traditional print. There’s no Carnation Tee

 Ease into knitting
sweaters, seamlessly!
Through clever planning and some
simple techniques, projects are shaped
and joined during knitting—all without
sacrificing the pretty details. No-Sew
Knits offers 20 garments that combine
easy construction techniques and
on-trend comfortable styling for
everyday wear. While many sweaters
are based on simple raglan and yoke
constructions, author Kristen takes
the opportunity to introduce you to a
variety of other easier-than-they-seem
techniques, while keeping the patterns
approachable for advanced beginners.
Chapters are focused around the
elements of stitch patterns, cables, and
lace. The resulting pieces are beautifully
constructed garments that boast eye-
catching details!
