FO: Leaves Of Grass

by Athena // November 4, 2020 // No Comments
This lace pi shawl was my heirloom knit. How do I define an heirloom knit? I think it’s one that I wanted to invest a lot more in terms of the material and the time. I did invest more in... Continue reading →

FO: Bandana Cowl

by Athena // December 13, 2016 // No Comments
