Brioche Knitting
August 8 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
- Cost: $65 for 2 hours
- Teacher: Kate
- Dates: Thursday August 8th from 6 to 8pm
Brioche knitting uses a simple and clever technique to create beautiful fabrics – deep ribs and fascinating colourwork. It’s particularly effectively in two colours, and is an excellent way to tame a busy variegated yarn. This class covers the skills for working brioche patterns, including reading the sometimes-complicated instructions, and fixing mistakes. Knitters will leave with a one-of-a-kind shawl or scarf project well underway.
- Skill Level: Intermediate: no specific skills required, but knitters must be confident with increasing and decreasing
- Materials Required: 16-20 inch circular 4mm/US #6 needle and 2 strongly contrasting colours of scrap worsted weight yarn; 250-300 yards each of two colours of yarn: recommend one variegated, one solid; newer knitters should bring DK or worsted; more experienced knitters can bring fingering or sport.
