Come Knit With Us

Recently the days have been rushing by at an astonishing pace. Remember to mark your calenders for October 24 when iKnit Sebastopol will be installed. As we approach this important date the community aspect of iKnit Sebastopol can be felt more than ever. Are you looking for inspiration, good conversation, and a few great places to share your love of fiber arts? Check out some of these great community resources:
  1. Visit some of Sonoma County's finest local yarn stores such as Balls and Skeins and The Legacy in Sebastopol, and Cast Away's and Village Knitting in Santa Rosa. These shops contain an excellent community of knitters and knitting groups many of which are affiliated with iKnit Sebastopol.
  2. Are you looking for inspiration and some examples of the finished project? Just Google "knitting around poles" and check out some of the beautiful examples of knitted street art around the world.
  3. Finally, come knit with us every Sunday at the Sebastopol Farmer's Market in the town square. Just bring a chair and your knitting, crochet, or weaving. Hope to see you there.

  1. I dropped off my finished square to Tamberlane yesterday! Yah!

    When I was there, I saw the sample pole (2 squares: 1 was pink and 1 was pink and brown). They both have a sort of diamond pattern.

    I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them and wonder if I could get the patterns?

    Thanks, ~Hassanah

  2. Hi Hassanah,
    I used Barbara Walker's "A Second Treasury of Knitting Patterns" I think the two patterns I used were Fractured Lattice and Two-Tone Lattice.

  4. Thank you Cindy!!!

    In case anyone wants my pattern (I made the light blue and yellow sort of houndstooth pattern...), it came from "Vogue Knitting Scarves" and it is called Mosaic Stole.
