INTERMEDIATE AND ADVANCED KNITTING CLASSES

The knitting classes listed below are suitable for knitters who have been actively knitting and would like to expand their technical skills. If you know how to knit, but it has been a few years since you picked up needles and yarn, please take the Introduction to Knitting class first.

You will get an introduction to two-color brioche knitting in this class. There are many beautiful brioche patterns that have come out, but some knitters may be intimidated by the technique. You will learn how to interpret the slip stitches, yarn overs, and special brioche knits and purls while working with two highly contrasting colors of worsted weight yarn. By Carla Tilghman
