A custom Enya vest for superfangirl Erin ♥️ She wanted a piece inspired by Watermark’s album art and as soon as I saw this hand dyed merino wool, my heart exploded. And I loved making this custom dreamy lettering. Do you think I nailed the vibe?

What you’ll learn in this class: Two different techniques for creating marled knits, how different combinations of yarn weights held together yield thicker yarn weights, how to build confidence in experimenting with yarn and color, how to build a color palette for your scrappy project

Making art is not only worth the hours, energy, headaches, patience, joy, and community—but that’s what MAKES it ART, don’t you think?

Not my usual vibe but I needed to stop and take a breather today and thought you might need one, too. These are some of my favorite glyphs to stitch 💘
