It’s been a while since my last pattern release so I am extra excited to share my new pattern with you! This one is an ode to my new home of choice, this beautiful place in the middle of the South Pacific, where summer lasts all year long, (sometimes even with snow and ice), penguins, dolphins and whales share your surf and where the sheep-to-human ratio is 5:1.

I am incredibly humbled by your sweet comments and highly motivated to get the next set of patterns for this series out to you by the end of September.
