This is the knitting pattern for the oversized snowflake obsidian tunic.

using 6 different colors, and about 1000 yards of bulky weight yarn.

This sweater came to me as I was trying to figure out how to use all of my single skeins of hand spun yarn. I paired colors I liked and voila! the tunic was born, this is the coziest, comfort sweater i’ve ever owned. if you’re a handspinner there’s nothing like wrapping up in work you’ve taken from fleece to fabric.

I worked on this sweater everywhere I went to it uses simple color-work, and clever striping, a rounded yoke and a top down approach for easy on the go knitting.

Yo! I woke up this morning, put this sweater on, and now I’m thinking about how I can receive an equal exchange for my art and my work as an anti-capitalist. So, this pattern is for sale, on the website I pay for to do commerce on. (Motherofpurl.net) and if you are interested in slow fashion, in making your own stuff,diy culture, traditional skills, this is a tool to help you to do that- it’s a pattern, I put a lot of work into processing the fiber from fleece, spinning the yarn, knitting the sweater and writing the pattern, I hope you can dig it. As a queer woc living in late stage capitalism I recognize that I am needing to receive something for the work I put out, if you have the monetary means to interact with my work, I invite you to do so, and, if you don’t, but totally fuq with this type of way, email me, and we can trade, yah?
