Color Poems Scarf Class and Social with Cecelia Campochiaro - Sunday, March 15, 2026

Join us for a special class with Cecelia Campochiaro during the Bay Area Yarn Crawl!

Color Poems is a brand new design by Cecelia that will be released March 13th in celebration of the 2026 Bay Area Yarn Crawl.

This class is an introduction to the Color Poems Scarf, a triangular scarf based on the Garland Grid pattern in Cecelia's book Reversible Knitting. It is called a color poem because this magical stitch pattern creates a kind of visual poetry with the yarns. Not only is the stitch pattern beautiful, but it is reversible. The swatches displayed in the photo give you a sneak peak of this new, gorgeous design! This stitch pattern is a lovely little dance and is an absolute delight to knit! 

In class, you will make a swatch to learn the techniques used in Color Poems, and will be able to cast on your own Color Poems Scarf either in class or after class.

Skills Covered: 
Working a reversible slip-stitch pattern; fine striping; simple embroidery.

Level:
The class level is intermediate. (If you can make a tidy 4x4 ribbing swatch without laddering you will be fine.)

This class includes:
+ Sample amounts of yarn in Verb's solid colorways so you can swatch and get some tips and tricks for working the pattern before casting on with your project.

Biography

Cecelia Campochiaro appeared on the knitting scene in 2015 with her debut book, Sequence Knitting. Knitting was a casual pastime until she had an ah-ha moment in 2010 and realized that interesting textured fabrics could be created by the simple repetition of a sequence of stitches.

Sequence Knitting is about texture, and her second book, Making Marls, is about color. Making marls, the act of working multiple strands together as one, is an old technique, but has rarely been written about as an important technique in handknitting.

Reversible Knitting is Cecelia’s latest book and began as a sequel to Sequence Knitting. In this book she tackles how to create a wide range of patterns that look the same on both sides. While there are other books that have been published on this subject, none are as comprehensive.

Cecelia lives in Silicon Valley, where for many years she developed specialized microscopes used in computer chip manufacturing. Textiles, photography and the arts have been a lifelong passion running in parallel with her technical life. Today she is fully dedicated to the fiber world and “unventing” new ways to make amazing knit fabrics.
