This design is inspired by one of my grandma’s favourite gardens to visit in British Columbia and was thus named after one of them, Sunken Garden. For my colour choices, I wanted to capture the vibrancy of the flowers and the subtle beauty of the quarry that surrounds the garden.

I have been trying to think of a universal pattern that is a great unisex hat, something that is fitted, and has a folded brim that provides extra warmth around the ears. This is what led to the design of my Realm hat pattern.

The name for this shawl just kind of came to me when I finished it. I looked at it and felt so much pride and joy. It brought me immediate happiness.
