my mumsy is the person who taught me how to knit. she’s supported me in every endeavour, and probably does a better job of upselling my patterns than i do! among the reeds was her birthday gift, a design made especially for her (instead of her just snagging one or three of my most recent samples), using yarn she picked out. she’s a maritimer through and through, and is how i claim my maritimer status despite not living there for several years now. so it makes perfect sense that she would choose a nova scotian-dyed yarn in shades of the ocean.
