Artist Talk with Kendall Ross
Thursday, December 3, 2026 - 5:30PM to 07:00PM Sheldon Museum of Art
Kendall Ross, also known as "I'd Knit That" on social media, is an Oklahoma City based fiber artist. She is best known for hand-knitting colorful, wearable art pieces. She uses intricate hand-knitting colorwork methods like intarsia and fair isle to illustrate images and incorporate her original texts into the fabric of her work. Each stitch on every sweater, vest, mural, and textile is painstakingly planned and knit over countless hours using two needles and wool.
Kendall gravitated toward fiber art throughout her childhood, learning to crochet from her maternal grandmother. The close relationships she built with women in her family through knitting and crochet inspired her interest in women's history. Kendall earned a BA in American history from Pepperdine University where she researched racial divides between Black and white women's knitting movements in World War I. Her background as a historian inspires the content and the purpose behind her art.
