Knot Your Average Knits

Written by Steph

The knitty-gritty on summer knits.

Sick of run-of-the-mill summer accessories? Knit a problem! I have a great alternative.

Purple Vintage Space Princess (say that three times fast) specializes in handmade knits and reworked vintage pieces that possess the magic that lusted-over brands lack (their magic is likely lost in the shuffle from the sweatshop to the floor of a dressing room, just my guess).

Creator Mammi-Ama Ofori has stolen your grandma’s favorite hobby and spun it on its ass, which probably makes grandma real sad (you should call her). While knit goods aren’t typically thought of as the go-to summer staple, Mammi-Ama improvises with pieces like these:
