"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. This idea evolved and led to her writing Sequence Knitting, which is a
reference book about this mindful approach to knitting.
In 2020 Cecelia released Making Marls. 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. By holding yarns of different
colors or textures together while knitting, knitters can create their own yarn and color combinations to create endless
possibilities.
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.
In high school and college even though her main studies were in the sciences, she studied drawing, printmaking,
ceramics, and photography. Today she is fully dedicated to the fiber world and “unventing” new ways to make amazing
knit fabrics."
