The Weekender Designer Meet and Greet!! Last evening I met Andrea Mowry, designer of The Weekender and Find Your Fade fame. She is absolutely darling and of course very talented!! I thought everyone would be wearing her Weekender but I was the only one. Many were wearing fade shawls.
I will be taking her advanced brioche class tomorrow, so in preparation I did some brioche knitting this week to try to get back into the swing of it. I have done brioche in the past but it’s been a while!!
I used Malabrigo Worsted (feels like cashmere, honestly!!) and just kind of did my own thing. The pom came from an Etsy shop that I had seen advertised on Instagram: Threadheadknits1. This is the large pom and it is HUGE!! Jena loved it! I did use the button “Tip of the Week,” of course!
Jena now has a set of hats:
PS to Nell: The leather tags are of my own making, with help from friend Kim. I created the design and she printed them on leather with a special printer they have at home!
Those hats are wonderful!

Adorable hat and pom.
I love those leather tags and always forget to inquire when I see them. Where do you get them?

Haha, teacher’s pet! There may be a Weekender in my future. Both your brioche hats are beautiful, but I have to confess to being a fan of huge pom poms so went to the Threadheaknits site and what do you think I saw? TRIBBLES!!!
