Splendor comprises David (aka GoGoDavitron) and Homero (aka TricotChico), who both started knitting for similar reasons, though independently of each-other. In both cases, the soon-to-be knitter wanted a scarf that couldn’t be found at a retail shop, so we each took up needles and sallied forth into the world of yarn, knitting sticks, knits, and purls.

Once these projects were complete (or nearly so), we each started to think of other garments and accessories that we wanted and launched our own pattern searches. Though our tastes and goals differed slightly, the crux was the same: neither of us could find patterns that were quite what we wanted. We’d find a pattern and make mental notes of changes we’d make, which generally resulted in a whole new garment. So, here we are: we’ve designed much of what we’ve knit and find that the next reasonable step is to share these designs with others who have shown interest.

Our tastes and aesthetic exist at the intersection of punk/hip/electro/classic, though our ultimate goal is to make stuff we(/he)’ll actually wear.
