$150.00

Sunday, January 18th, from 10:00 pm to 4:00 pm

Join us for a very special workshop with Cecelia Campochiaro, renowned author of Reversible Knitting, Sequence Knitting and Making Marls. In this introductory class, Cecelia will guide you into the beautiful world of reversible knitting - a thoughtful, meditative approach to stitch patterns that look stunning on both sides of the fabric.

Through clear instruction and hands-on practice, you’ll learn how simple sequences can create richly textured, completely reversible fabrics perfect for scarves, shawls, and beyond. Whether you’re new to Cecelia’s techniques or curious about exploring new ways to think about knitting, this is a rare opportunity to learn directly from the designer who pioneered the method.

The class will touch on a range of topics including one-row patterns, sequence knitting, how reversible patterns are created, how to use charts for flat knitting or knitting in the round. As a bonus, we will also discuss some reversible selvedges that make nice finished edges.

You will have a chance to swatch a couple stitch patterns to get a feel for two different appraoches to creating reversible textures. Reversible patterns can be used for scarves, shawls, blankets or anything where you want both sides to look the same. We’ll talk about how to determine gauge to calculate yarn quantities and dimensions for these common accessories so you can turn any of the swatches into a unique masterpiece of your making.
