I've been a full time university student for many years. An aunt gave me a set of round looms January 2012 and I've been knitting in my spare time since! I am also a self-taught needle knitter and crocheter. Ever since January I've made dozens of things and have been known as a prolific knitter/crocheter in the family. I generally post about tips and tricks, and like to figure out how to transpose needle knitting techniques to loom knitting.

Weekday Youtube Linkage II
I have been remiss on these video posts! These are the easiest posts I make!
Today you will find:
How to knit a twisted keyhole scarf (very fashionable)
Two-colour brioche stitch on the round loom!
Slip with yarn in front (sl wyif)
I tried out the brioche stitch, and I absolutely love it. Every time I see using two colours in a project, I immediately turn all nerdy and think about how great it would look if I knit it in Harry Potter colours (blue and bronze for me - GO RAVENCLAW!), and I see myself getting broke in the near future.
Right side
wrong side - still looking good nonetheless
Onto those links!
Kristen (GoodKnitKisses) always has good stuff! When I was starting out (and when I'm experimenting), I go back to a lot of her videos! This is such a chic scarf! Too bad it's springtime; I have no motivation to knit any warm scarves yet. Anyway, visit her on youtube to find all her other knitting stuff if you haven't already!
I am so excited for this video! I've been contemplating doing this stitch for a while, and didn't even realize it was called the brioche stitch. It's an awesome stitch! I am so glad Maria showed it! This video needs more hits. It's quite long, and it doesn't have to be, but she also gives instructions in Spanish too. Just cast-on loosely and then watch her do the first 3-4 rows and you'll be fine! You can do this for flat-panels, and with only one colour too.
Slip with yarn in front (sl wyif)! I did it for the woven herringbone stitch a few weeks ago. It's definitely a good technique to know. She does it succinctly, which is great!
