The Enneagram is a model of nine personality types that looks at the entirety of a human’s existence. Type 7s on the Enneagram are called The Enthusiast. At their healthiest, sevens are spontaneous, joyful, deeply grateful, and adaptable. Sevens are also extroverted, grounded, and are discerning in their choices--they are able to choose quality over quantity. To symbolize the bold yet rooted nature of a seven, I chose a highly textured stitch motif that stands out even more beautifully in a DK weight yarn.
