First of all a follow up on my life: Dav and I are moving to California. He applied to grad school at Berkeley last fall and was accepted. We decided that Montreal was just too cold for us. I've never been to the Bay area but everyone I talk to says that I will love it. Dav and I have the opportunity to fly out there in a couple of weeks for free while doing a movement/emotions (probably not the correct description) project with a colleague of his from Stanford. We get the whole weekend to wander around the area, possibly looking for an apartment for August when we pack up all belongings in our beetle and drive cross country. "Yikes, I'm excited," is my general feeling these days.
Second is a follow up on the Brioche scarf:
I've written down the directions so I can send people to them when they ask me about the scarf.

hi meghan,
very nice pattern. i am very much interested in bi-colour brioche ,but i couldn't make it so far. to be frank, i am not a experienced knitter. i am good with normal patterns, but this terminology is very confusing. how do i attach a second color yarn, where the main color cast on stitches are...
can you please tell me in detail.
regards,joy
Hi Joy,
When you add another color, hold the new color of yarn in your hand just like you would with the yarn you're already using. The new color will be next to the old. There is no need for a knot but if you need a little security you can put a temporary square knot to kep the yarn from wandering around. Leave enough of a tail hanging in the new color so you can weave in the ends after the project is finished. Most reference will tell you to knit a few stitches together with the old and new yarn but with the brioche it messes up the striping. If you have more qestions. Let me know.
