Earth and Air in Wolke and Nightshades
Back in March when the VP visited the shop, the yarnista team in a moment of high energy and anxiety all decided to cast on Earth and Air together. I don’t usually jump into their group stitching projects because I am so incredibly bad at finishing things, but this one intrigued me. We had a […]

I headed over to the Hive last week to find some pieces to pair with my finished Seven Sisters Top. Mine is a solid, as I used Spud and Chloe Sweater instead of Printed Cotton. It’s a pretty versatile piece that can be worn over a longer full dress, with a poofy skirt, denim shorts […]
