If Francesco of Dark Omen could be any winter creature, he'd choose a bear, preferably a polar bear, thanks to his increasingly white beard!
There's certainly something appealing about hibernating through the colder months, and Francesco's favourite hiberknitting spot is tucked up in bed. Living in a tiny apartment means making the most of every cosy corner, and the bed even doubles as a handy table for laying out his knits and planning colour placements!
Being close to the sea gives Francesco plenty of colour inspiration, with fleeting moments of spectacular winter twilight. If he were to capture the scene in yarn, he'd imagine a shipwreck just after disaster strikes, with light piercing through brooding storm clouds. Very fitting for Dark Omen's signature gothic colour palette.
For this year's Hiberknitalong, Dark Omen's curated kits pair Merino Sock with Glowhair, bringing rich, atmospheric colours together with a soft, fluffy mohair halo.
