Snicklefritz - my mother’s child-friendly version of calling me “the most devious bastard in Nyew Yoahk Citayyyy.” She pulled it out almost exclusively when my siblings and I got that little glint in our eyes that could only mean impending shenanigans, chaos, and mayhem - a truly timeless pseudonym, if you will. This sweater is here to help you embrace that childlike wonder and play in the sandbox! Advents, mini skeins, or scraps sitting around that need to be used up? Snicklefritz looks at all of those and giggles - ever so playfully, of course. The possibilities are nearly endless! Use a pre-curated mini kit, or create your own out of your stash. Pretty soon, whatever palette you choose, you won’t be able to stop knitting!
