Spring MAL: Brioche (March-May) Class Schedule
Brioche is a wonderful knitting technique where when using 2 colors you can have reversible ribbing where a different color is dominant on either side. This make-a-long will focus on skills and techniques, rather than everyone making the same project. Class participants should come with the required supplies or prep work, as we will be working on small sample swatches where you can apply skills you have learned to a project of your choice.
Seminar 1: Brioche Knitting in the Round
This is a wonderful introduction to Brioche, as you will learn the skills using 2 colors where each color has only one “job”, so you can learn the skills in a streamlined format.
Seminar 2: Brioche Knitting Flat
This Seminar is “step 2”, once you learn brioche in the round it is much easier to tackle flat knitting where the “jobs” of each yarn are different depending on what side of the work is facing you.
Seminar 3: Fixing Mistakes in Basic Brioche
Now that you can brioche, what to do if you miss a step on the row before or drop a stitch? Solutions so you don’t have to rip it all out!
Seminar 4: Increasing and Decreasing in Brioche
Using increases and decreases in brioche can create wonderful patterns where the ridges seem to dance over each other. Learn the basic techniques to accomplishing this “in pattern”.
Virtual seminars will be on Sundays, 1-3 pm US Eastern time. Zoom sessions will be $25 each, or $90 for all 4, and you will have access to the recordings afterwards.
