Fiberside Chats: Bristol Ivy April 27th, 2025

We add love, thoughtfulness, and sometimes a few swear words into every project we make. But have you ever thought about adding a secret message? In this Chat, Bristol will walk you through several different beautiful but sneaky ways to add hidden meanings to your work—from important words, to special dates, to song lyrics and more. Through this, we’ll explore the larger world of stitch pattern creation, from lace to texture to mosaic to cables, and how to make your project entirely your own! 

Bio:
Bristol Ivy is a knitting designer, teacher, and author from Bangor, Maine. Her work has been published with PomPom Magazine, amirisu, Quince & Co., Making Magazine, and her own eponymous pattern line.  She has taught at such events as Squam Art Workshops, Edinburgh Yarn Festival, and Vogue Knitting Live, as well as yarn shops worldwide.  Her recent books, Knitting Outside the Box and Knitting Outside the Box: Drape and Fold, both with PomPom Press, explore her lifelong commitment to breaking rules and finding beauty in unexpected places.  When not knitting, she’s sewing, running, watching far too many British murder mysteries, and baking a mean loaf of oatmeal honey bread.  Find her online at bristolivy.com and on Instagram and Twitter as @bristolivy.
