Aspen Moguls

Experience the thrill of your own Aspen, Colorado honeymoon adventure with this unique knitting pattern. In January, I found myself unexpectedly navigating moguls while skiing, an experience that inspired this convertible wrap design. The intricate stitch pattern reflects the twists and turns I encountered on the slopes, serving as a delightful reminder of the journey. This cozy wrap is perfect for those who prefer knitting needles over ski poles, transforming memories into beautiful handmade garments. Thankfully, no video footage exists of my clumsy attempts to regain my balance on the skis!
