Pippin Poppycock - Arizona CAL - Sunshine after the Rain (Stylecraft Yarn Pack) - Product Description
This beautiful CAL was created by the talented Pippin Poppycock for a CAL that ran at the beginning of 2018.
"For Arizona I wanted to use colors that can be found in a traditional Native American blanket plus to symbolize what I wish to impart on my Son as Arizona was designed for him. Diné Bikeyah, or Navajoland is unique because the people here have achieved something quite rare: the ability of an indigenous people to blend both traditional and modern ways of life. The Navajo Nation truly is a nation within a nation. In years Past, Navajoland often appeared to be little more than a desolate section of the Southwest, but yet is a mixture of arid deserts and alpine forests with high plateaus, mesas and mountains. In Navajo belief, there is a male and female to all things above, below and around us.
The pattern uses seven colors in total, five gradient colors, one shadow color and one contrast color for some pop! The gradient colors have been carefully selected and tested for that perfect ombre effect that sets the pattern off. The placement of the shadow color has been thoughtfully placed to work as a backdrop to allow the contrast color to shine." - Emma May, Pippin Poppycock
