Review on Easy Brioche-Stitch Tube Socks: 14 Patterns for Knitting Enthusiasts by Kristen Reid

The book is clearly written, the instructions are easy to follow and each circuit has a clear photo, just a photo that sometimes doesn't show all the details I wanted. The pages are printed on thick paper and bound in a way that leaves the book open, which is very handy for a textbook. It is small and easy to carry. The flaps on the cover make excellent bookmarks. Not sure about the contents of the book yet as my socks have progressed little, my fault not the book. I like working flat brioche with its easy flowing rhythm, much smoother than a standard rib pattern. But it takes more time to develop this rhythm, when knitting thin thin yarn on knitting needles No. 2. And the stitch changes in each row of YO, K2 together, YO, and it's difficult to "read" your work for the first few rows. So I took a lot of breaks and restarts until I ended up knitting two socks at a time, tip up, on circular needles with the Magic Loop. I finished her star toes, if they fit properly this might be my standard sock since it's so easy, and made 4 or 5 rounds of basic brioche, just enough to "read" the stitches and to know if it's my turn. Line k2tog or p2tog. Now I'm very close to feeling the stitch flow. I did it the Barbara Sander way, my first two+ tries, cuff pulled over 5 garter pins, but kept making mistakes and getting loose or completely broken. Your first row after choosing is 1 person, 1 left rib, then brioche starts. I signed up to try two rounds in single rib to get a better idea of the pattern, but dropped the cuff and switched to a sock construction before trying it. I read somewhere that the brioche stitch uses more yarn (than what?) so I wanted to work with the sock to use every piece of yarn and improve my chances of making calf socks. Also, there are more elastic drawstrings than elastic Velcro. I'm optimistic about these socks, but until I put them on I can't understand the concept of tubular brioche socks. I read somewhere that the brioche stitch uses more yarn (than what?) so I wanted to work with the sock to use every bit of yarn and improve my chances of making calf socks.
