The pattern was indeed inspired by something familiar. “The boys” as we call them, are two Siamese cats that we share our home with. My closet, unfortunately, was not full of wools that I no longer wear. Many trips were taken to consignment and second hand thrift shops, as well as going through the closets of friends and family members, looking for just the right colour and texture.
