November is quickly approaching, and we are starting to get excited about this fall’s Knitter’s Weekend. It is the perfect time of year to be in New England enjoying the fall color and the crisp air. The golden light is magical and we hope that you can come and experience it for yourself.
Nancy Marchant will be joining us in Putney, Vermont the weekend of November 7th-9th to teach the brioche stitch. This is a great opportunity to add luscious texture and stunning, reversible patterns to your knitting. For those of you who aren’t yet familiar with the brioche stitch you can learn the basics in the video below.
Inspired by Nancy’s imminent visit, Maureen has been working on a new brioche infinity cowl. We had a mini fashion show at the shop this morning. This deliciously soft and stretchy infinity cowl can be worn in all kinds of ways. Just the thing to keep you snug on a snowy morning or to throw over your shoulders as a little shrug.
We’ll be publishing a pattern shortly. In the meantime, you may want to peruse the hundreds of FREE brioche patterns available on Ravelry. You will be stunned by the beauty and versatility of this stitch.
We hope that you will consider adding the brioche stitch to your knitting repertoire. It is a wonderful technique that could provide you with a winter season full of fun new projects that will keep you extra warm with squishably soft ribs of beautiful color that will fly off your needles.
