This is the Sunflower Cardigan I made and it was inspired by the blooms in North Dakota. The entire sweater was hand embroidered ant each sweater takes about 2 months to make. My intention with this design was to showcase the natural beauty of natural on a wearable piece of clothing. A lot of people have said that they can see Tyler The Creator in this cardigan. This design holds a special place in my heart because it captures the natural landscape beauty and presents it on a wearable clothing very well. And the fact that each cardigan was individually hand embroidered, make this design even more special. #SmallBusiness #smallbusinessowner #knitwear #yitai #fyp #sweater #cardigan

This design holds a special place in my heart because it captures the natural landscape beauty and presents it on a wearable clothing very well. And the fact that each cardigan that was individually hand embroidered makes this design even more special.
