When I sat down to start working on this collaboration with Kate from Mcmullin Fiber Co. I was torn between what to design, usually when I’m procrastinating because I don’t know which way to go with one of my projects I doodle… I doodle a lot. During high school I used to have tons of notebooks full of doodles, it helps me focus.

Anyways, I ended up drawing the colorwork design I’m using for my design. So I feel it makes it extra special. I decided I wanted a warm, squishy cowl with an interesting graphic design that really made the colors come to live.

This is a very mindful and easy to memorize pattern that will be hard to put down.
