Next Meeting: January 9, 2019
Brioche with Pamela Grossman


Pamela Grossman by day: passionate about Deaf Education. By night: knitting and petting tiny dogs. Late afternoon: mama needs a nap and a latte. Pamela Grossman wears a variety of hats and tries to keep them jaunty. Her current knitting interests include all variations of brioche knitting. 

Pamela sells patterns on Ravelry and teaches a weekly knit circle at Serial Knitters Yarn Shop in Kirkland. Her day job is directing the Rosen Family Preschool at the Hearing, Speech and Deaf Center in Seattle. She instagrams on occasion at instagram.com/woolywonder.pamelamama. Come say hello!

Pamela loves brioche knitting and wants you to love it too. Topics for the meeting may include any of the following: 
Introduction to Brioche
Two-Color Brioche
Brioche Cousins: Linked Double Knitting, Knit the Stitch Below, Fisherman's Rib, "One-Pass Brioche" and More... 
Translating Two-Pass Brioche Patterns into One-Pass Patterns 
The Challenge of Fixing Brioche Errors 

Attendees should bring a couple of colors of mid-weight scrap yarn, circular or double pointed needles to match yarn, stitch markers, tablet (optional, if you do that sort of thing) and sense of adventure. 

Thank you to the generous donors !
