The Vines and Leaves Cowl/Wrap is knit in the most delicious Catskill Merino yarn -- the Super Bulky merino.  It's a single ply yarn that is so soft and squishy and warm, but light.  Really, it's like wearing a hug.  I designed the Vines and Leaves Cowl/Wrap specifically for this yarn because I wanted to have this yarn close to me -- to be able to look at it and to feel it's warmth and softness.  The Vines and Leaves Cowl/Wrap  is knit on US size 15/10mm needles.  This makes it pretty quick to knit up!  The pattern is available on Ravelry and Etsy.  If you want to use a different yarn, please feel free to reach out and I'm happy to let you know if the yarn will work well.  Hand knit Vines and Leaves Cowl/Wrap are also available for purchase on Etsy and right here! 

I'm not a fan of being photographed.  It's awkward.  I feel like my smile is too big or it's fake looking and then I worry there's something on my teeth or I look washed out because I never wear make up -- just a lot to think about.  But, I also believe in representation because real people are all colors and sizes and ages.  Which means there should be gray-haired, make-up-free, mixed heritage latinx peeps like me out there!  So here I am, trying to look like a serious human.  It didn't last.  I couldn't stop laughing at something my kid said and neither could she and we get a blurry, but sincere picture.

This is the smile of relief and hope.  It has been a very hard time. Covid-19, the US elections, and having to be apart to keep each other safe has really taken its toll on us. We are so happy that Biden and Harris were elected to office in the US.  It made the socially-distanced visit with family extra restoring.  We were able to just relax and smile. 💙 #ilovemydaughter

The Vines and Leaves Cowl/Wrap  is a quick-knit and makes a great, cozy #holiday gift. It's knit using super-bulky yarn on US size 15/10mm needles. The pattern is available on Ravelry and Etsy. Hand knit Vines and Leaves Cowl/Wrap are also available for purchase on Etsy and here. This one is knit using lovely, super chunky @catskill merino yarn - locally produced using earth-friendly dyes. It is so soft and warm, it's the closest you'll come to wearing a hug. Wouldn't it be good to be able to give someone a hand-knit hug?
