Knit and Learn with University of Virginia Environmental Sciences Graduate Students

  • The Scrappy Elephant (map)

Do you like knitting AND the natural world around you? We have just the thing for you!

Join University of Virginia Environmental Sciences graduate students/fiber artists for a fall knit and learn. In this series, we will meet once a week and feature a graduate student who will talk to us about their research. You’ll learn about eel grass, oysters, bio char, flooding, air quality and more, all while working on your own knit project or a one of a kind scarf inspired by the subjects discussed during this class. The pattern* will be shared with registrants a week before the session and will be designed with stash busting in mind! Note that this is not a learn-to-knit class, and participants should feel comfortable with color work, knitting and purling, and knitting in the round.

This week, Meara, a coastal hydrologist, will share how satellites tell us about the water quality in our estuaries!

Can't make every session? No problem! Stop by for as many or as few programs as you like. We'll get you caught up! This is a free event in our Book Nook, but please sign up so we have enough room for you. Thanks!

Sign up here!
