Yayois Dream shawl kit by MarinJa Knits

This shawl is named after Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama. She is the top-selling female artist in the world. There is a documentary about her called Kusama: Infinity (2018) that tells her story. I found the film both interesting and profoundly sad. While brilliant, she struggled, as many women have, to be taken seriously in the art world. Today she is well recognized. At her artistic beginning in the 1950’s, this was not the case. You may enjoy learning about her and her work. The PIECE ITSELF… there is a dot & dash element and a polka dotted element to this patterning. I also really love how it looks on the wrong side. The different beginning. A V-neck start, of sorts, sits the shawl a little differently when you wear it both on your back or on your front. A fun little variation that I have not seen before. Quirky & function, a win!
