Just one more until @berlin_knits_2025 and I’m working hard to bring a new Brioche design with me to the festival!
Anyone up for a loose-knit Brioche slipover?
There’s still some spots left in my classes at Berlin Knits and now is a great time to book your spot if you want to deep dive into Brioche, Brioche Textures or Sideways Sweaters with me!

Here’s a quick tutorial on how to knit Brioche for Combination knitters.
What is combination knitting?
In general, stitches can be on the needles either with the leading leg/loop in front or in the back. It’s typically referred to as ‘Western’ when the leading leg is in front (for right-handed knitters that’s the right leg, for left-handed knitters that’s the left leg), and as ‘Eastern’ when the leading leg is in the back.
In combination knitting, only the purls are worked in a way that brings the leading leg to the back, and in the following row, and after working knit stitches (through the back loop), the stitches have the leading leg in front again.
When working Brioche, and here specifically two-color Brioche flat, Combination knitters have to keep track of the stitch mount. All stitches are always worked (as Brioche knit or Brioche purl) through the leading loop (whether that’s in front or back), but for the sl1yo stitches - the magical Brioche stitches that are slipped purlwise and the yarn carried over the needle as a yarn-over - the stitch mount makes a crucial difference:
The yarn-over should always follow the direction/stitch mount of the slipped stitch.
When the leading leg is in front, the stitch has to be slipped with yarn in front, and the yarn carried over the needle to the back.
When the leading loop is in back, the stitch has to be slipped with yarn in back, and the yarn carried over the needle to the front (and back again for the next knit stitch).
I hope this short clip gives you an idea how Brioche knitting in Combination style works! A full tutorial will be up on YouTube later this week.
I’m also working on Brioche tutorials more knitting styles. I’ll be working on left-handed Brioche next. But as I just found out, there’s also an Eastern, Western, and Combination style, so it might take me a little to get to all of them! 😅
What knitting style are you? And is there a tutorial you want me to make?

I recently received a wonderful message from a knitter who joined one of my classes. It truly made my day and reminded me why I love teaching, sharing all my tips and tricks, and creating easy-to-follow knitting patterns.
If you’re looking to unlock a new skill, consider joining one of my upcoming classes! Your next opportunity is at @berlin_knits_2025 in early October.
Here’s the full message:
“I was a student in your fading light class at VKL in January and it was the first time I tried syncopated brioche. I’d only knitted brioche a few times before and I always enjoyed the finished object, but was intimidated by brioche and had trouble reading my knitting. I’ve just started your Rhona Shawl and I’m absolutely loving it. Thank you for your teaching and your beautiful, thoughtful, patterns. They have unlocked a new skill for me and I find myself thinking about the shawl constantly and waiting for the workday to finish so I can get to it!“
Thank you for your lovely words, Ethel!

I have a new Brioche design on my needles and I can’t put them down! 🥰
Don’t you just love that new WIP feeling?
Can’t wIt to show you more!
If you want to come and play with Brioche stitch with me, join me this weekend at @vogueknittingonline for a virtual Brioche Masterclass or from October 4-5 at @berlin_knits_2025 for the Brioche Masterclass (in German), and the Brioche Textures class, or the Sideways Sweater class (which, sadly, lacks Brioche content).
Oh, and just a gentle reminder that all my patterns are currently 20% off - no code needed!

A year ago, a flood destroyed my workspace.
Luckily I had enough time to save all my yarn and samples.
But this is about what happened after.
I received so much support from knitters!
I lost a teaching gig and had to pay for cancelling.
I worked for months to mitigate the water damage and get the chaos unter control.
I renovate my workspace myself, all on my own, using skills I learned along the way. It completely drained me, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
The cost of building materials pales in comparison to the long-time loss of knitting patterns I had neither the time nor the energy to work on and publish.
Meeting knitters and yarnies, teaching or just hanging out, is an incredible motivation and inspiration boost.
I finally found not only a work-life balance, but also a body-mind balance. I now dedicate time to things that have nothing to do with work. I run and hike, bake and sew, garden and go to concerts. It fills my cup so I can be creative, motivated, and dedicated in my work.
When you make your beloved hobby your business, you may have the best job in the world, but you also lose your hobby, your outlet. And after 10 years of SOSUknits, I think I finally have some balance back.
And if you made it all the way through, I want to say thank you for your support with a 20% discount on all my patterns on Ravelry and Payhip until September 21.

With its crisp waffle texture, the joyful pops of color and all the little design details, my Waffle Tee in @treliz_colorispower’s Moires base might be my new favorite thing to wear.
100% Gentille di Lucania wool base is a beautiful combo of light and voluminous, soft but grippy, and it comes in so many awesome colors. and I can already tell it’s going to wear beautifully. If wooly is not your thing, give the Ares base a try, the SW Merino/Nylon base is super soft and has a beautiful drape.
You can find the knitting pattern on Ravelry and Payhip (use the code 20WAFFLES for a 20% discount until Sunday) and shop the yarn directly from @treliz_colorispower.
(No add/not sponsored, just sharing the materials I used and the awesome person who makes them.)

Blocking swatches in late summer sun, with/despite help from Juliane.
I start by pinning out the swatches, ensuring the stitches are all neat, without stretching the fabric. I then remove the pins when the fabric is lightly damp and let it shrink back a little. I‘ll later play around with and scrunch the dry swatches to get a gauge reading that I like to call „relaxed after blocking“, which hopefully gets as close as possible to the gauge of the garment when wearing it.
I‘m about 20 swatches in at this point, since the yarn I had used for a sample has since been discontinued.
I may have to re-do the entire pattern math with a different gauge if I can‘t find a good substitute.🤞
How’s your Monday going? 🫣

Syksyn saapumisessa on hyvänä puolena myös se, että pääsee käyttämään edellisestä joulukalenterista neulottua sosuknits Basecamp shrugia. Lankana frida_fuchs_yarns adventtikalenteri, vaalein väri, jota myös hihoissa ruskan_lehti bfl-sukkalankaa värissä pellava.
Tämä on ehkä paras asia ikinä sohvalla kääriytymiseen 🍂🫖
