This month's meetup celebrates fiber arts on a galactic scale! Use the art of brioche knitting to create a cozy, textured 2-color brioche star as part of our Yarnfiti Stitched Together Space Series.
Note: Knitting skills are necessary to be successful in this class. New to knitting? Check out Knit Level 1. Skills will include working with double pointed needles, increases, decreases, and working in the round.
We'll practice using the 2 color brioche technique in the round, and by using increases and decreases create a squishy fun star to hang on our Yarnfiti display - take home later for a little holiday decor.
Our community-created art installation Yarnfiti: Stitched Together is back and bigger than ever, with events offered throughout the Orange County Library Universe to bring the fiber arts community together on a collaborative art project. Knitters, crocheters, hand sewists, machine sewists, embroiderers, and macramé artists/community members join forces to craft individual pieces that will be displayed together into a collective masterpiece. Each creation represents the unique contributions of community members and reflects their stories, experiences, and connections. The project fosters collaboration and unity as participants share their skills and ideas.
This year's theme is Space. This class project is Stars
