It feels like this project has been on my needles FOREVER, but I finally bound off the last few stitches this morning! Now I just have to finish writing so that I can get it into test knitting.

If you would like to hear about test knitting opportunities, be sure to subscribe to my newsletter. I always share test calls there first and only share them here on social media if they don't fill.

My home show, the Kentucky Sheep and Fiber Festival, is this weekend! I'll be teaching several workshops, so this is a great time to come level up tour brioche knitting skills. On Saturday, I'm teaching Building Blocks of a Brioche Sweater where we discuss the special considerations of a garment in this wonderful fabric. We also learn some of the extra techniques that can help in the process, like picking up stitches and short rows.

On Sunday, I'm teaching Color Up Your Brioche Knitting where you will try out a range of techniques to add a third color to your brioche.

Both of these classes are accessible to knitters who can work brioche flat and both still have space! Register today and come learn with me!

I'm in need of test knitters for my newest sweater design! This design is knit bottom up, in pieces, with brioche cables covering the back of the sweater. I invite you to knit fearlessly and join the test even if some of the techniques involved are new to you.

The pattern is available in 9 sizes from 30.75in to 68.75in. The design is intended to be fitted at the full bust (recommended ease is -2 to +2 in) and has gentle A-line shaping. The test knit will begin on April 24th and run through August 16th.

The sample is knit in fi*****ng weight yarn from .cat.yarns. Testers are welcome to use the yarn of their choice, but a discount code is available for 10% off for those who would like to use the original yarn.

If you would like to participate, please fill out the application form linked in my bio.
