A footbridge can act as a link through time to others who have shared the experience of walking along the same path. A knitted garment can similarly connect all the folks involved in its creation. From shepherd, spinner, dyer, designer, and knitter, each plays a thoughtful role in the creation of a show stopping pullover like this one.
