Posted by Danielle | Sep 9, 2018 | Featured, Yarn Bombs & Fiber Art |

If Amimono Horinouchi (visit him on Etsy too) is not on your radar, please allow me to correct that. It won’t hurt a bit and I think you’ll be forever grateful … and he doesn’t just knit sweaters featuring rock icons, he also knits bags, and he often features indie film cult faves like John Waters and Divine. Enjoy!
