After the events of last August, I felt the need to support the people of Afghanistan, in their time of need. I felt that the best way to do that for me, was through my variation of art; which is knitting.
This pattern represents the women of Afghanistan. Celebrates Afghan culture and traditional clothing and reveres the Afghan flag.
