We created the Vesper Shawl pattern for the 2024 Rose City Yarn Crawl, inspired by the theme of Pacific Northwest Flora and Fauna.
The Vesper Shawl is a celebration of Oregon's Little Brown Bat. This amazing animal is a vital part of our ecosystem, spreading seeds, pollinating plants, and capable of eating more than 1,200 mosquitoes in a single night. And it's a MAMMAL that can FLY!
Cobra Lily Kerchief
We created the Cobra Lily Kerchief pattern for the 2024 Rose City Yarn Crawl, inspired by the theme of Pacific Northwest Flora and Fauna.
Darlingtonia State Natural Site, just outside Florence, is dedicated to the protection of Oregon’s only native pitcher plants — Darlingtonia californica. Also known as cobra lilies, these rare plants live in very specific environments along the Oregon coast. The Cobra Lily Kerchief draws inspiration from the strange shapes and vibrant colors of Darlingtonia’s mottled, semi-transparent pitchers.
