We’ll also explore a brioche increase and two simple decreases to create geometric shapes in your brioche swatch. \nThis class is suitable for intermediate (or experienced) knitters. You need to be able to confidently cast on\, cast off\, knit\, purl\, and work yarn overs. Some experience with knitted decreases and the ability to follow a pattern is also very useful. \nYarn and handouts are provided to all\, and scissors and tapestry needles will be available to borrow.\n\nKnitters will need to bring a circular 5mm knitting needle (60-80cm long) with them – to work this technique the needles must be circular even though we are knitting flat. If they do not have this\, I will have some they can purchase at the start of the workshop. They should also bring a pen or pencil for making notes.\n\nREMEMBER to access your class you must have a marketplace ticket valid for the day your class is running. \nIf the entrance time slot that you need to be able to access your class is sold out\, please purchase the next available time slot for that day and still arrive in time for your class\, volunteers at the door will check your class details and allow you early entry if necessary. All classes take place during show open times on 15th and 16th March 2025. \nPlease note the start AND finish time of your class if you are booking multiple classes. We cannot refund classes due to errors in booking\, please make sure that the classes you are booking do not overlap or clash. \nPlease arrive in time to walk to your classroom from the entrance of the arena. The arena is approximately 100m long and the two classrooms are located on the right hand wall as you enter the marketplace.
