Knitting is a simple process, a binary language made up of two digits: the knit and the purl.

We have other tricks—the yarn-over, the decrease, wrapping and slipping and dropping—but, generally speaking, it all hinges on either a knit or a purl stitch.

Barbara Walker documented what seemed to be every possible stitch pattern in her Knitting Treasury books. Yet more stitch dictionaries keep coming, each treading familiar water.

That is, until now. Cecelia Campochiaro's Sequence Knitting is the most exciting and original take on stitch patterns that I've seen in a long, long time.

Coming Up
Next weekend is Woolfeis at the Kintaline Farm in Benderloch, Scotland. That same weekend in Cypress, Texas, the Houston Fiber Fest takes place at the Berry Center. Down Under at the Prince of Wales Showgrounds in Bendigo, Victoria, the venerable Australian Sheep and Wool Show enters its 138th year. You'll find details and many more things to do in our extensive online calendar of events.
