The story behind this pattern:
Miracle
When I designed this sweater months ago, I imagined her in a snowy landscape. At the time, I wondered where I would nd
so much snow… And then, suddenly, a miracle happens.
My sweater is finished, and everything is covered in snow. Especially for me :-).
When it snows, something inside me comes loose. It feels as if an icebreaker is at work, pushing my playfulness to the surface.
I want to slide down little hills.
Build a snowman.
Throw snowballs.
Go ice skating.
I just want to be silly.
And so, when I saw this pristine white little park, I couldn’t resist.
Do you feel that too?
