Inspiration
A few years ago I read the book ‘About Grace’ from Anthony Doerr, the same author who inspired a lot of my book-inspired patterns, such as the Hotel of Bees shawl, the Sea of Flames Shawl, the Shell Collector Wrap and the 2020 Scheepjes CAL d’Histoire Naturelle.
In the book we follow David Winkler, a man fascinated with weather and an obsession with snow. As he discovers the wonders of snow crystals through his microscope, we do too when working this sweater. And maybe we’ll discover that each snow crystal is truly unique.
