I’m pasting some info from the parent site below. Link through for the whole banana.
Join us in a community-wide practice of creating locally grown knitwear: the 2019 Fibershed Knitalong begins with this year’s Fibershed Gala: The Practice of Belonging. Whether knitting for yourself or someone in your life, the movement of yarn through your hands connects you to the landscape and community of our regional fiber and dye system, and each piece becomes a unique and tactile celebration of our textile culture.
Share your reflections and creations with us on social media using #FibershedKAL2019
For the 2019 Fibershed Knitalong, we invite you to choose from three featured patterns to pair with a yarn that is 100% local fiber and local natural dye:
Bolinas Ridge Cowl by Marlie de Swart: an exploration of stitch textures combines two different yarns or colors for a classic, cozy accessory
Coast Side Cardigan by Alisha Reyes: a stylish, oversized sweater that layers well through the seasons and is a beginner-friendly pattern to grow your local wardrobe
Ocean Beach Mitts by Alice Tang: elegant fingerless gloves with winding cables to showcase bioregional fiber and color
Each piece grows from a 2×2 knit and purl rib stitch pattern into a unique expression of place and participation in your fibershed.
