Be one with the sea as you knit this beautifully textured cowl, adorned with delicate beads like glimmering shells among the sand.
This design was the result of many moments falling into place. We recently took a family trip to Destin, Florida, not long after watching a documentary on how pollution is plaguing our oceans
I decided to bring along a single skein yarn (inspired by The Little Mermaid) and as I
stood with my feet in the in the crystal clear water, I couldn’t help but dwell on the reality
of our oceans. There’s a significant difference between the media portrayal of our oceans and the harsh reality of how things actually are.
Our oceans are in a state of turmoil, yet it’s relatively unrecognized. Even as I enjoyed the beach on our family vacation, I found myself wondering how the haunting scenes of pollution I’d seen only days before could instead be the reality.
This is why I have partnered with 4TheSeas, a nonprofit dedicated to raising awareness of ocean conversation. Single-use plastics, recovered from ocean water and beaches, are collected and transformed into art installations.
4TheSeas was founded by a very impressive, passionate young lady named Taylor Bradley. Taylor, a 12 year-old living and traveling with her family in Costa Rica, is passionate about educating and hopefully reversing the tragic state of our oceans.
4TheSeas raises awareness by creating art installations made from single-use plastics that have been pulled from the ocean.
All proceeds from Under The Sea pattern
sales will be donated to Taylor’s foundation, 4TheSeas in support of their beautiful mission.
