As the Early Bird Deadline for STITCHES South is this week, now seems like a good time to mention my classes. I don't always make the schedule for STITCHES South, so it is very exciting for me to have two classes offered this year! My Thursday afternoon class is "Brioche Rosetta Stone." I've taught this before and I've blogged about it. Check this post from July of 2009 to find the genesis of this class. In class we'll knit three or four different patterns. We will work the first pattern two different ways, so you'll learn the two ways of making brioche fabrics and how to convert between them. When you leave class, you should be able to recognize a brioche stitch whatever it is called -- including recognizing them in Japanese pattern books. And you should be able to work the stitch pattern regardless of which technique you are given. I've been polishing the other class for STITCHES South -- "Waste Not: Shawls," which will be on Saturday ...
Advanced, esoteric, perfectionist knitting including free patterns, reviews of books and products, and illustrated technique tutorials.
