Rebekah Wilce Designs
I've been knitting and designing since I was a kid. I began developing knitting patterns for Charissa Pray Designs in collaboration with my sister in 2018. My favorite patterns have unusual and spicy stitches and incorporate the natural forms of my off-grid desert home (foxes, spiders, spirals, and knobbly textures), joining traditional elements with the modern, quirky, and even sexy. I believe in a #FashionRevolution and my current work on that revolves around thrifting, quite a bit of visible (and occasional invisible) mending, hand sewing, and knitting.
