I hate admitting defeat for anything. I loathe it but I just rage quit my test swatch of the Bixbite Shawl because I can't figure out the brioche. Never done brioche before so yeah, that's not helping anything here.

What project kicked your ass?

Haha, I forgot to respond about the shawl. It's a three color shawl with different two-color brioche areas. It's this one: Bixbite Shawl which appears two-color but it's three-color.

It's a stunning shawl and I haven't given up completely yet. Learning the brioche is hard for me for some reason. I can't even guess why it's such a block, not that I think it's easy or anything. But I feel like I'm learning knitting all over again instead of just a few new stitches. It's bizarre.

I saw the shawl on Fraoc Knits vlog and fell in love. I had one skein already and bought more yarn that I don't want to use for anything else. We'll see how thing pans out.

It really is a beautiful pattern! Hope the next round goes more smoothly for you, it's weird how sometimes our brains just say "nope" to a new technique.
