Stephanie Hatfield designed, knitted, and crocheted the garment that became the Grand Champion ribbon winner in the Taos Wool Festival Garment Competition.
The jacket, called “Reverie” after a poem by Emily Dickinson, glowed with the soft colors of bison wool yarn. The crocheted and knitted details keep the eye of the beholder coming back for more.
I am pleased and proud to tell you that the yoke of Stephanie’s jacket was covered with flowers and leaves from Crochet Bouquet. What a thrill it was to see the familiar Plain Pansy, Columbine, and Round Compound Leaves as embellishment on this masterwork.
Congratulations, Stephanie! And congratulations again! (She won the Reserve Grand Champion ribbon, too.)
