Seminar: Brioche, a different kind of knitting
Sit down with a cup of tea and a treat from The Great Pastry Shop and listen while we discusses the nature of Brioche knitting, tuck stitches and the challenges of modern brioche patterns.
Saturday, June 19, 2021 3pm-4pm in the Outlaw Den (at HQ)
Bring yourself and maybe a project to keep your hands busy
Brioche knitting has many commonalities with the knitting we all know and love, yet the fabric it produces is unique. Fisherman's rib and other tuck stitches have been popular over the years but Brioche Knitting has created a new approach to knitting that is fresh, challenging, and opens up the door to endless exploration. Come discover the joy of Brioche.

Weekly Classes
Crochet Crafternoon |
Beginning Knitting |
|
Crochet Crafternoon with Pearlin is our newest group! We are bringing a weekly chance to get together with other Crocheters and other makers to develop your skills and spend time learning and making together.
We highly encourage beginner and new crocheters to come to this time and learn to make a granny square, the foundation of many crochet projects, and progress to learning new techniques and skills over time. Our group focus is to raise the awareness of the beauty and ease of crochet and to welcome as many different crocheters as possible to our making community. Come in and make something beautiful. |
The Outlaw Beginning Knitting is a free, recurring, drop-in session designed to make knitting an approachable, community-oriented experience. In this session, you learn the basic skills of knitting at your own pace, in a fun, creative environment. Rather than a traditionally structured class, this drop-in session is designed to work with your schedule - drop in during any session and we will help you get over road bumps and teach the next skill. If you have a friend or family member who you think would love knitting, let them know and bring them down to HQ.
All are welcome. If you bring a child, please make sure there is a parent or guardian available to supervise and assist throughout the entire learning process. |

CLASSES
Brioche Skills 2021
Brioche knitting is a collection of techniques that largely revolves around paired tuck stitches. There are many brioche variants, just as many as there are in knitting, but they are all based upon a foundation of two types of brioche knitting: one colour brioche and two colour brioche.
The skills of brioche knitting will be covered in the course of two classes followed by three brioche project checkins - see below - to give ample time to work through your project that hopefully the class inspires.

Brioche Project Check-ins |
Thursday, July 15, 2021
Thursday, July 29, 2021
Thursday, August 12, 2021
Now that you have mastered the basics of brioche knitting let's take off on a knitting adventure together. Choose your own pattern or work from the list we are dreaming up and be assured that there will be someone there to guide you along as you work through your project. Brioche can be daunting because mistakes are often difficult to see and repair but with patience and practice you will be able to sort out any trouble that comes your way.
There will be three check-ins for your brioche project and the usual dedicated suspect there to help you choose the best path forward on each project. With lots of time between check ins you should be able to work your way through an entire project in the span of our meetups!
The cost includes all three check-ins, if you cannot make one an alternate time can be arranged!
Project suggestions to come.
