It was Stephania’s “day job” that gave me the inspiration for her design. She has a Master’s in Environmental Law and works as a sustainability analyst at Portland Community College. Her passion for social justice, equity, and inclusion led me to create a shawl with equal sized sections, each using one of her glorious colors. This is a perfect project for those mini-skeins that you just can’t resist.
