I love you!! I have started and failed to learn brioche knitting several times, each time with just a mess. Your tutorial is so darn accessible and understandable! “Don’t go out without your shawl. Uh oh, lost your shawl, it wanted to be a belt, get back up there. The first step is knowing it looks weird.” I cannot thank you enough!

[vivrbn]

Stephen, thank you so much for separating the tutorial between Continental and English styles. You create great tutorials normally, and this makes it even easier to understand the instructions when we don't have to transfer back and forth between the two styles together in one lesson. 😊

Admirable teaching - clear, cute, slow enough, lots of repeats, and encouraging. Yay! Thank you, Stephen!

I was having trouble with the Italian cast my how to book was explaining. Then I saw this, you have renewed my hope of learning this knitting method. Thank you doing this and for sharing your talents with others.

Ditto to the last message!! So helpful for those of us who have never brioched before. Thank you!!

[johannaromeijn]

I Will never forget the stitch that cannot go out without a shawl anymore! Wow, you make Brioche less intimidating for me! I am really going to try this. Thank you!!

Your ability to teach knitting in such an approachable and understandable method is amazing! I love just sitting and watching your tutorials even when I’m not working a project.

“Don’t go out the door without your shawl.” This has MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE for me. I can’t wait to dig in to a simple brioche experience so I can move on to brioche with increases and decreases.

Thank you Stephen! That was the clearest demo of brioche that I have ever seen. I feel like you have opened a whole other world of knitting to me. I have wanted to try some of your beautiful brioche patterns but was afraid. I took a brioche class at a yarn shop years ago. There were about 20 people crammed around a table. I went back for help the next day when I got something wrong. The owner was very rude and told me I needed to learn to read my knitting. I had paid for the class and bought my yarn there. I was not a customer of that shop again and I avoided brioche from then on. I’ve so been wanting to learn. Thank you again. I have bought the Craftsy class too and had watched a little. This really clarifies it all for me and I am going to work on this and watch more of that, as I know she’s a good teacher as well, but I was intimidated by it. You have a wonderful way of explaining things and now I feel I can tackle the class and try Exploration Station which I have wanted to do for years!

Great teaching voice and techniques. I love it when an instructor has a sweet melodic voice. Thank you.

[amritkhalsa]

Stephen, you are an exceptional I am excited to practice 2 color brioche knitting.

[anabarrachina]

Dear Stephen you are a true teacher! ... brioche was always for me the representation of the "unattainable" ... UNTIL I FOUND YOU !! really THANK YOU! 🧶🧶🥰🥰🥰🥰😊😊😊😊😊😊🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

[zoyamichel]

Thank u for taking the time to doing an entire brioche for continental knitters of several rows instead of switching from one to the other. This is extremely important & helpful. You're a real good teacher. Once again thanks!!!!

[lindaboggess]

I love that you knit Continental! So helpful to understand how to knit Brioche left-handed!

[jandroid]

Thank you for creating the only clear video I've seen on brioche knitting that actually begins with the cast on. I've seen 3 videos in a row that showed brioche knitting from the middle of the project and with instructions that were clear as mud. I'd love to buy you a coffee.

[DDPizazz]

very helpful! I never understood how to slip the stiches to the other needle on the circular needles. I was poking each one by hand. Silly me. Just sliding it down is so easy!. You've made such a great video here. So many good tips and demonstration, I cannot even count them. Thank you.

[lenabeana]

I have been hitting this point in learning where I'm asking myself if I even like the way knit looks anymore.. but when I see your projects, I absolutely love them. You bring the dopamine back.

[machaelawhitlock]

This is, by far, the best 2 color brioche tutorial I've ever seen. You're amazing and please never quit doing what you do!! 🙌🏻

[rociocardenasyanquen]

İ came here frustrated from other videos where İ achieved nothing! Now I'm leaving happy and motivated because İ found the best teacher ever and my first brioche knitting is stunning! Thank you soo much!

[martinafox]

Thank you so much for your patience . It is obvious that you do your brioche with love and passion. And wool in the right hand, I am so grateful for explanation. Already see jumper in lime and white cashmere done mostly using brioche technique. 💗💗💗
