Saturday

We are honored and delighted to welcome knitwear designer and instructor Nancy Marchant as keynote speaker at the Saturday night banquet.  The banquet will be a sit down dinner, and tickets for the banquet including the talk can be bought at the time of registration for $69.

Nancy Marchant, a.k.a. the Queen Mother of Brioche, was born in Indiana but the Netherlands has been her home for more than 45 years. Her first published pattern was in 1974. She’s seen knitting styles and techniques change over the years and has built up quite a collection of knitwear designs. Nancy has studied the nuances of the brioche stitch and developed new and exciting stitch patterns and techniques for achieving beautiful brioche and tuck stitch results. She is the author of Knitting Brioche, Knitting Fresh Brioche, Leafy Brioche, Tuck Stitches, Knitting Brioche Lace, Brioche Knitting and the ebook Woven Knitting. She has recently started creating woven patterns using intarsia and stranded knitting.
