Donna Myles, our in-house crochet designer, has taken Edie’s “Math for Crocheters” on-line class. She liked her teaching style and the class helped her with calculations of the stitches and measurements on her crochet designs.

Professional crafters like Edie have helped us elevate our U.S. Organic Cotton through superb designs, accompanied with clear and helpful knitting tutorials that guide knitters through the sweater making process.

The bright colors of the sweaters and our photo styling were inspired by pop art of the 60’s, specifically the work of Sister Corita Kent. Sister Corita was a nun who taught art at Immaculate Heart College in Los Angles, California from 1948 to 1970. She pioneered an original method of serigraphy, or screen printing, and inspired by pop art at the time, made prints with bold images from consumer and popular culture and juxtaposed it with sacred and secular text, with a call for social justice.

Love is a reoccurring theme—she designed the “Love” pop art stamp that sold millions. Her work is now in art museums worldwide, including an art center dedicated to preserving and promoting her legacy, the Corita Art Center in LA.
