Dance of the Snowflakes
Dance of the Snowflakes
Very much like Lorelai Gilmore, I long for the day when I too can say, “I smell snow!” My daughter has loved her Little Snowflakes cardigan so much and I just love watching the snowflakes dance across her back, that when Destination Yarns released their 2018 Holiday colors, I just knew it was my chance for my own dancing snowflakes! If you are looking for the perfect winter cardigan, look no further! Dance of the Snowflakes will keep you smiling and cozy all winter! (Fun fact: if you happen to live in a warm weather climate and attempted to knit your Christmas Eve sweater under a tight deadline, you can simply make this with short sleeves, makes a lot more sense when it is 76 degrees and sunny!)
