Notes

Nicole's first knitting project was a hat with ears, made with kool-aid dyed yarn. Eventually she learned to embrace the specific kind of patience required for knitting and ventured into more challenging patterns. You have to be okay learning to mess up when knitting; yarn is flexible, knitting non-destructive. She is happy to be a part of this knitting project and is honored to contribute to this collection of swatches and stories!
