Perennial
“Maybe some loves are perennials--they survive the winter and bloom again.”
- Glennon Doyle Melton
Perennial plants, when cultivated, can be everlasting. They come back year after year, no matter what happens in between. Handknits, when carefully tended, are the same. This scarf is effortlessly knit on the bias, highlights your palette, drapes beautifully when worn, and will return year after year to keep you warm and stylish. It’s the perfect canvas to play with beautiful yarns, transitioning colors through a combination of garter, stockinette, and easy-to-knit wildflowers.
