February meeting and members' class: Two-color Brioche Basics

The next BVKCG meeting is at 2:00 PM on Sunday, February 16, 2020, at the Larry Ringer Public Library in College Station.

We will have our regular business meeting, plus:

  • Check everyone's progress on on our Spring Knit Along (it's not too late to start!!  See the 2020 Spring Knit Along tab above for info!), 
  • Share finished objects during Show and Tell, and 
  • Hold our February members' class - Two-Color Brioche Basics!
For the class, please bring: 
  • 20-30 yards each of two solid (or solid-ish) color worsted or DK weight yarns, one light and one dark and
  • Size US7 circular needles (or a size that will work well with your chosen yarn.  Brioche creates a loose stitch, so err towards a smaller size).  You *must* use circular or double-pointed needles for basic two-color brioche.  It doesn't matter how long your cable is.  We will be casting on only 23 stitches, so plan accordingly.

Not a BVKCG member? No problem! Dues are $20 for the year and be collected at the meeting - this will allow you to take all the classes all year long!  OR, when it's time for the class, those who aren't participating have a social stitching circle where folks are welcome to come, meet new knitting and crochet friends, ask for help with their project, or get general fiber-y advice! Beginners are always welcome!
