Cecelia Campochiaro is coming to Boston! She will be lecturing at the Common Cod Fiber Guild and teaching a class on Sequence Knitting: Simple Methods for Creating Complex Fabrics. You can pre-order the book Sequence Knitting, which is regularly $60, at a 20% discount.

From her website: The concept of Sequence Knitting is simple: take a sequence of stitches and repeat them again and again. Depending on how you repeat them, different fabrics can be created. While a few of these fabrics are familiar, many are new to the knitting world.

The lecture description: The book Sequence Knitting is about using a different mindset to create fabric. In this lecture and slide show, Cecelia explains her process and how her unique background in science and the arts led to her insights.
