Day Workshop
Brioche Knitting – nothing to do with bread rolls! This workshop introduces the technique of brioche knitting or Fisherman’s rib. It is worked on double-pointed needles to create a reversible fabric which is particularly effective with different colours.
This workshop is suitable for knitters who are confident with casting on and off, and the knit and purl stitches.
As this is a full-day workshop, there’s the option of a light lunch. After adding the workshop to your basket, go to basket and you will see the Lunch option beneath; just click to add. Those opting for lunch will be contacted before the event for details of any specific dietary requirements. Participants can, of course, choose to bring their own lunch if preferred. Drinks and refreshments are provided and included in the cost of the workshop.
