Bubbles and Brioche is another of the popular Stephen West shawl designs.  Lisa knit this with a mix of sock yarns from Canadian independent dyers.  Nina carries a fine selection of hand-dyed sock yarns to choose from, and we love the strong contrasts that Lisa has chosen.  That neon yellow-green colour really pops!

Lisa says that what she liked most about this pattern was:

• learning the brioche stitch. 
• the interesting stitch pattern changes incorporated in the design
• the very cool “peacock effect” by the end of the project
• how much fun it is to do the bubbles
• using high contrast colours that really make them pop!

We agree that it’s a great pattern for learning new skills – nothing too difficult, but tremendous fun from start to finish.
