Distance sometimes doesn't matter at all in creative collaboration – even when it's 5190 miles!
That’s exactly the distance from Portland, Oregon, to Bonn, Germany, making it the perfect title for this joint project with Knit Purl PDX, the hand-dyeing studio Bumblebirch, and me.
The shell stitch is a beautiful detail that can represent everything you might find in the image of a city: streets, rivers, or bridges...
The two halves of the shawl are inverted, with each color appearing in the other half. It's like remembering one city while you're in the other – or the other way around.
Knit your shawl in the colors of your two favorite cities, as a little reminder that everything is connected, no matter how great the distance may be.
