Brioche knitting uses special stitches to create a wonderfully squishable and reversible fabric perfect for warm garments and accessories. In this workshop, we will learn the basics of how to work the brioche stitches using two colors of yarn. While we make a practice swatch, we’ll talk about how to read your knitting to know where you are in the pattern, how to make increases and decreases in brioche, and how to fix mistakes. At the end of this workshop, you should feel confident tackling those brioche patterns you’ve been wanting to try.

Emily Wood Designs
Emily learned to knit three times -- once when she was a kid, once during college, and finally about five years after that. The last time, it stuck. She's been designing knitting patterns since 2011 and tries to hit the sweet spot with patterns that are fun and engaging to knit, but also easy to understand. Her patterns have appeared in Interweave Knits, Knit Now, Knitty, and collections by KnitPicks, SweetGeorgia Yarns, and Miss Babs Yarn.
She is an active member of the Creative Knitting Guild in Maryland and has taught workshops up and down the east coast, including at Rhinebeck, Maryland Sheep and Wool, the Georgia Mountain Needle Arts Festival, and the Unwind Getaway in North Carolina.
