Red Alder Fiber Arts: Treat yourself!

I’m looking forward to teaching at Red Alder Fiber Arts Retreat, February 12-15! I’m scheduled to teach 3 brioche classes (my favorite, as you know), and an assigned pooling class.

My newest brioche class is Embellished Brioche, which uses brioche rib as a background for assigned pooling. If you know how to knit brioche rib, this would be a great addition to your brioche toolkit. You can add assigned pooling to any of your brioche rib projects; you just need to know your strategy. I would love a few more students for this class.

Pre-registration is important for events like Red Alder; a class may be cut if it doesn’t get enough pre-registration before January 4. Embellished Brioche is in that danger zone. Treat yourself, and treat me, too! Here are some examples of brioche + pooling:

Collage of shawlette, detail of shawlette, and the assigned pooling yarn — Starstruck

a brioche plus assigned pooling cowl — Scattered Petals

My other classes are:

Brioche Pastiche (beginning 2 color brioche in the round)

Fixing Brioche mistakes — Brioche Doctor (fixing brioche mistakes)

Assigned pooling stitches — Fun stitches for assigned pooling

If you are planning to come to Red Alder, please pre-register for classes! There is limited registration available on-site, but for maximum choice, pre-registration before January 4 is the way to go.

Hope to see you there!
