Brioche Knitting
Toni McDermott
Tuesday - January 8, 15 & 22
6:00pm – 8:00pm
Beginner II
$35.00
Learn a new knitting technique. “Brioche” means “cushion”. This knitting style creates a soft airy fabric that is warm yet lofty. Knitters will first learn how to work one color brioche in the round and then move on to two colored brioche in the round. See class samples to see how the hats will look. Instructions will focus on casting on for brioche, reading the brioche stitch, brioche charts and terms, and correcting errors. This kind of knitting is highly addictive so be prepared to love it!

Kuspuk
Susan Gray
Wednesday - January 9, 16 & 23
6:00pm – 9:00pm
Beginner II
$85.00
Must have some garment sewing experience.
Susan is originally from Nome and started making Kuspuks about 10 years ago. She has learned from many people, including Dora Andrew-Ihrke who previously taught Qaspeq/Kuspuk making at the Quilt Tree. To help ensure that your Kuspuk will be a good fit she’ll have prototype Kuspuks for trying on and patterns to use/copy. She will also teach traditional ways of measuring that she learned from Dora. These can be used as sizing guidelines for making future Kuspuks for your friends and family. You will come away from this class with a drop shoulder Kuspuk and a pattern of your size.
