Imagine all the people
Living life inpeace...A few years ago, I gave my
mothera peace-sign
necklace as a holiday gift.
It's now her talisman she
doesn't like to leave home
without it. And based onwithout it. And based on
the commentspeople make
when she wears it, this
symbol still means a lot to
alot of people.
What better way to spreadpeacein the world than to
wear it front and center on
an organic-cottonsweater?
This design lends itself to a
mellow,peaceful knitting
experience as well; it
features a modified drop
shoulder and easy angled
sleeve cap shaping.
Asimple rounded neckline
with reverse-stockinette
rolled edges thatalso
appear at hem and cuffsappear at hem and cuffs
mean that you can remain
mindful andzen with the
glorious organic cotton
yarn.
