The Firmament Wrap is a wonderfully cozy project for cooler weather. The design is inspired by truly breath­taking images from the James Webb Space Telescope.

In this interpretation, familiar increases and decreases produce impressive results. Swaths of deep lacy space are thick with stars. Clusters of roiling garter stitch suns and mesh chromospheres crowd together. Asteroid belts keep the cosmos nice and orderly.
