The RBG sweater is inspired by Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I wanted to find a way to honor the important work she did as a Supreme Court Justice, while also paying homage to her amazing collar collection. My hope is that this sweater will endow the wearer with the strength, perseverance, gravitas and integrity we so rightfully associate with The Knitorious RBG.
