I’m teaching three classes via three venues that weekend. I’m teaching brioche + pooling in-person at For Yarn’s Sake in Beaverton on Sunday, April 27. Class is for knitters who can knit brioche rib. We’ll cover the increases and decreases, syncopation, and assigned pooling in class. Fun!
And I’m kicking off that teaching weekend with Brioche Beginnings for Modern Daily Knitting online. Class is on Friday, April 25; you can register here.
Busy busy! These are my last classes for spring. May is…unsettled. Juggling lots of stuff in real life…
But I’m still knitting! Current project on the needles in Black Orchid and an unnamed green from Yarn Snob. I love this color combo.

I’m teaching Log Cabin Knitting for Vogue Knitting Online on Saturday April 26. And I’m giving away one seat in this virtual class!
Log cabin blocks are made with oodles and oodles of simple garter stitch. Sometimes you just need something soothing to knit. In this class, you’ll learn how to pick up stitches, and how to shape your blocks. A little simple garter stitch math, and you can make it work for whatever size you want.
And you’ll be ready to take log cabin knitting to even more fun heights.
Sign up for the class at VogueKnittingLive.com and/or enter to win a seat in this class by leaving a comment on this blog post telling me that you want to WIN! I’ll choose a winner on April 14. Good luck!
Rose City Yarn Crawl is just around the corner! We celebrate our yarn shops in the Portland metro area with a 4 day extravaganza. There are 8 shops on the crawl, and I hope to visit all of them. I’m hoping to at least visit the two I’ve never seen. One is Knotty Lamb in Forest Grove (a ways out), and the other is Ritual Dyes in inner SE Portland.
I’ll be having a trunk show at For Yarn’s Sake from 10 am to 3 pm, along with designer Shannon Squire and dyer Lorajean Kelley (Knitted Wit). I’ll bring all my designs since the last crawl, including my newest design (coming out Monday, February 26), Prosecco Pop! I’ll also have copies of Brioche Knit Love to sign, if you still need one.
Prosecco Pop
Prosecco Pop features Knitted Wit’s Summer Slubbing fingering weight yarn. The slubby goodness shines in this easy to knit shawlette. Come see us at For Yarn’s Sake on March 7 to get your hands on this fun yarn; we’ll have it there for the trunk show.
Brioche Pastiche
Also in March at For Yarn’s Sake, I’m teaching Brioche Pastiche. This choose your own adventure class starts with learning 2 color brioche in the round. You can add increases and decreases when you feel ready; the class pattern lets you choose headband, hat, or cowl, plain or leafy. This class is 2.5 hours in person, March 24, 2-4:30 pm, register here.
Whale Conga Line and Tink Drop Frog
Not local? I’m teaching Whale Conga Line (brioche increases and decreases, and syncopated brioche) and Tink Drop Frog (fixing mistakes) for Virtual Vogue Knitting Online on March 15 & 16. These classes are recorded and available for 2 weeks after the class, so you always have the best seat in the house…YOUR house!
In person local classes
Rounding out the spring, I’m teaching Tink Drop Frog April 20 and Sheepy Steeky Coasters May 18 at For Yarn’s Sake (class listings soon) and Petite Brioche April 13 and Whale Conga Line May 25 at Hook and Needle in Vancouver WA (right across the bridge).
I love teaching, and would love to help you take your knitting to the next level!
