Designer Heather Dixon shares the story of her Rivers and Tides Poncho..."Not so long ago, in a trendy café in Upstate NY, I met up with Nadine Storyk Curtis, owner of Be Sweet. She plopped 4 skeins of her beautiful yarn on the table and asked me if I could do anything with them. Silly question, Nadine! - Of course I could! I loved the way the colours looked together – they reminded me of moving water so I decided to design a piece to enhance that spirit. Not only a dramatic stitch pattern, Rivers and Tides can also be worn several different ways – a poncho, a wrap, a large loose cowl or a small and cozy double wrapped cowl. How will you wear yours?"
