We humans are all individuals travelling along our own paths, while our common interests allow us to gather in communities of similar souls. We share our knowledge and skills easily, making the communities we build stronger than ever, just like strands woven around each other in a basketweave.

The picot striped pattern in this cowl illustrates our personal routes through life, where we all leave our respective marks on the world. The basketweave slipped stitch pattern on the second half of the cowl represents the way our lives are intertwined, and the unshakable connections we create when we work together.
