Rowan Connect March 21 and 22, 2025

Intro to Brioche March 21 3.00-5.00pm GMT/11am-1.00pm EDT

We will make a basic swatch and look at the unique terms and symbols used in brioche stitch patterns. The second half of the class is dedicated to examining and understanding our brioche swatches and troubleshooting common mistakes. This class focuses on 2-color brioche worked flat, but information will also be provided for 1-color (it’s more advanced than with 2 colors!) and circular techniques.
Requirements: Must know knit, purl, slip, yarn over, and experience reading written or charted patterns.
Supplies: Worsted-weight yarn in 2 colors, US 6 (4mm) circular or doublepointed needles, sharp scissors, notebook, pen or pencil with eraser, stitch markers, tapestry needles (large and small), tape measure, small calculator, needles and crochet hooks of various sizes

I-Cord Cast ons, Bind offs, and everything in between

March 22  March, 2.30-4.30pm GMT/10.30am-12.30pm EDT

I-cords are simple tubes of knitting, but they have so many uses.
In this class, we will learn to make a simple I-cord, and use it as a
structural or decorative edge for our knitting. This stitch is easy to
learn, and, once you can use it, the possibilities are endless.
Students will leave ready to explore their own creative uses for this invaluable technique. Requirements: This class is best suited for this invaluable technique.
Requirements: This class is best suited for intermediate level knitters who have experience reading patterns and working basic increases and decreases.
Supplies: 3-4 colors of DK or worsted weight yarn, scraps are fine, needles in a corresponding size and 2 sizes larger.
