My inspiration for this design is the wonder of life itself. The dictionary describes wonder as being: “a feeling of surprise mingled with admiration, caused by something beautiful, unexpected, unfamiliar, or inexplicable”. Life is full of unexpected, and inexplicable beauty. I am constantly amazed at the resilience of a simple blade of grass that can look completely dead in the winter months, and then seemingly turn green in front of your eyes the moment a spring shower releases its first drop of rain. This transformation creates a great sense of wonder in me and gives me comfort and peace.

This cardigan expresses that wonder with its ability to transform from a simple rectangular shape into an amazingly wonderful oversized shrug that wraps you in warmth and comfort.
