Nest - by Tin Can Knits

Eyes wide, she tells her friends: “My Mum MADE this sweater for ME!”

It’s as if she’s explaining that I am, indeed, a superhero who turns string into clothing with nothing but two sticks. My heart swells as I watch her dash joyfully out into the world wrapped in the Nest sweater, a little piece of my love.
