In the dead of night, long after dusk and before the dawn, strange beasts and beings are said to gather when the “veil between the worlds” is at its thinnest. A time of transformation, change, and connection between all things in the conscious and unconscious realms. Relish the joy of this communion as you conjure one stitch at a time for a comfy, somber sweater you’ll want to wear from day to night.
