Knit like a local in Paris with nine French designers and their twelve patterns inspired by Parisian history and neighborhoods. Plus, go on a yarn crawl through the Arrondissements and learn where to go, what to see, eat and drink in the City of Light with locals who know: Kathleen Dames/kathleen dames knitwear design and Alice O’Reilly/Backyard Fiberworks.
From the Eiffel Tower to jardins a la française, take a knitting whirl through Paris. We introduce you to nine French knitwear designers, visit eight Parisian LYS’s, and share our favorite bits of the City of Light.
Want to know where to find the Paris that the locals know and love? I Knit Paris shares shops, restaurants, cafes, bars, museums, and more. And if you can’t make it to the City of Light, we include lists of our favorite books, movies, TV shows, and songs, so you can bring Paris home.
