Co-opereight
In just two months, ten indie dyers, a graphic designer, a notions artist and a designer have come together to create this shawl, Co-opereight. One of the things I love the most about this project is that any five of the ten colors could be worked together and look lovely. I hope you feel the collaborative spirit of this pattern as you knit it and know that we are thankful for you, our community.“
