Beyond Brioche Basics Class with Andrea Mowry

* * * LOTTERY SIGNUPS OPEN AT 9 AM ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 22ND * * *

We are honored to feature our good friend, Michigan knitwear designer Andrea Mowry, at our annual Christmas party on Saturday, December 3rd. We’ll have all of her best-selling designs on display for you to try on and she’ll be teaching an intermediate brioche class from 10-2–a perfect way to pick up something new for the holidays.

In this class, we will begin playing around with what makes brioche so special! When working brioche in two colors, a whole new world of color play is opened up to you! Discover how to blend colors and add depth thru contrast. We will also discuss using different fibers and weights together to really mix things up! We will learn how to increase and decrease in brioche, and how it goes far beyond just shaping your fabric, to create the appearance of intricate cables and lace!

While we will do a quick overview of brioche basics, to get the most out of this class, students should be comfortable knitting the basic brioche knit and brioche purl stitches.

Lottery signups for the class will open on Tuesday, November 22nd, from 9 am to 1 pm EST. To enter the lottery drawing, you must “purchase” a spot by adding this item to your cart. PLEASE include your phone number in the specified field–this is the ONLY way we will contact you for payment if your name is drawn. (You will not be charged for the class until we have confirmed that you have secured a spot.) We will use a random number generator to assign each customer a number and chose our winners. There are 10 available tickets. When we announce our winners, we will call each winner to notify you that you’ve won a spot in the class. You will have exactly 24 hours to call the shop to pay for your class. If we haven’t heard from you in 24 hours, you will lose your spot and we will randomly draw the next person from the lottery.

There are 10 tickets available. The class will be 4 hours in length, includes lunch and is $85.
