This class will help you to take charge and be brave in case of making a mistake while working your project in basic brioche in one color. Interested? We will cover some important points and the rhythm of basic brioche knitting that help you find a solution of various problems. You will see how to fix a running stitch, find a dropped yarnover, use life line, deal with bowing sides, and most daring of it all: unravel rows and place stitches back on needle.

Instructor - Faina Goberstein

Faina Goberstein is an independent knitwear designer, author, and a professional teacher. Taking an early retirement from a long career as a math professor gave Faina a chance to let her creativity and long-time passion for knitwear design to become a second profession. She now teaches at live events and virtually for Vogue Knitting Live, Rowan Connect, Interweave Yarn Fest, and various venues such as guilds, fiber fests, and yarn shops locally, around the country and abroad.

The class will take place in person at our Berkeley shop located at 2921 College Avenue.

Students must be comfortable with basic brioche knitting in two colors. This is not learning how to brioche class. If you would like to learn brioche, check out Faina's Beginning Brioche class!
