Noctuidae is a tribute to unseen beauty. It is an ode to the light seekers…those who spend their time here on earth looking for deeper meaning. Like moths, we too are victims of the world we have created. While they search for the true light of the moon, we are also searching …for the truth. While they find it in the moon, we find it in our unconscious and our intuition.

This is a top down pullover knit in the round. Sleeves are worked flat to the cuff and then seamed. Colorwork is worked in the ribbing but this is optional. I also have colorwork during the short rows for the back neck which is also optional. Fit is meant to be loose and swingy and extremely cozy and warm like a Slanket. The sample bust measurement is 51 3/4 in. (size 5) Felicia is a 52 in bust and I am a 40 in bust.
