A small swatch of naturally colored linen-alpaca blend sits on top of a bulky knit white knit background. The swatch has a partial fair isle pattern of a man and woman holding hands, with the design in gray against a cream colored background. Two small green snake emojis have been printed and digitally transferred to the knit sample. The man has painted green legs and a yellow arm. It’s painted with screen printing ink. A yellow and green half-arc are painted at the top edge, which is unraveling, resembling a rainbow.

Mood chokers for 2025

Made with yarn I bought from the Central La Raya artisans cooperative in the Peruvian altiplano

A white faceless mannequin wears a wide hot pink knit choker with the word “NO” knit in rainbow letters. The mannequin is wearing a long neon green wig and a blue, green, and white mesh crochet dress. It is pictured from the armpits up. There are beige walls and a ceiling fan in the background. The same mannequin wearing the same things is pictured from the back. The choker has a tie coming from each of its four corners. The top two ties are tied together in a bow, as well as the bottom two ties. A window with sunlight coming through is in the background. Similar to the first picture except the mannequin is wearing a black choker with the word “BYE” written in rainbow yarn.
