In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of a commonly asked question from my community of Fibre Muses: how I work my cultural influences into my designs. I share my sources of inspiration and then the process of translating them into stitch patterns. My hopes for this episode is that by sharing my process, you’ll be inspired and empowered to do the same exploration in your own knitting.
