Opulence - knitting pattern
A unique design that combines beauty, comfort and sustainability.
Opulence has a contemporary, comfortable silhouette inspired by old motifs from different sources. Elements from the traditional Romanian blouse, Guernsey knit and purls, and fisherman sweater cables that honor together a high quality yarn and a pair of skillful hands.
The pattern is now live on Ravelry.

Studio notes
'If your intention, your desire is to take out every little bit that you can from the situation: your work won't last. But if your inner desire is to put in more than you can take out: your work will last. You're giving what you can, and taking what comes. It has nothing to do with exploitation.'(Sean Scully, 'Inner')
'Our work is to show we have been breathed upon - to show it, give it out, sing it out, to live out in the topside world what we have received through our sudden knowings, from body, for dreams and journeys of all sorts.'
(Clarissa Pinkola Estés, PhD - 'Women who run with the wolves')
'I'll tell you right now, the doors to the world of the wild Self are few but precious. If you have a deep scar, that is the door, if you have an old, old story, that is the door. If you love the sky and the water so much you almost cannot bear it, that is the door. If you yearn for a deeper life, a full life, a sane life, this is the door.'
