Workshop Info

Explore your brioche knitting as a meditation. We will knit the Mala Cowl (a pattern in the book, Yoga of Yarn) together as a moving meditation. Through this focused work we will increase concentration, calm the mind, relax the nervous system, and create a foundation for knitting as a meditation practice.

This workshop will teach you how to knit the basic 2-color brioche stitch in the round with ease and in a meditative manner. If you can knit, purl, slip stitches, and make yarn overs you can knit the brioche stitch. In addition to the knitting there will be mini-breaks where you are taught gentle movements to keep the mind and body calm while knitting.
