Typically, on the last Tuesday of the month I like to feature a Variegated Yarn Tales Interview. Unfortunately, that didn’t quite come together in time this month. So this month I decided to go with a Trendy Tuesday post that emphasizes some of the fabulous women of color on Pinterest that I’d like to interview…but, in the meantime, check them out below! Or better yet, submit your interview to be featured yourself!

Francoise does amazing work encouraging and teaching knitwear design, as well as being a fabulous knitwear designer herself, over at Aroha Knits. She also went viral on Twitter this week! I found out because my husband liked her Star Wars tweet:

I binge-watched two seasons over the last week. I fell in love with Reggie, and particularly his sexy as hell sweater style in season two:
The article linked below says, Ceci, the costume designer of Dear White People, purchases many costumes from vintage stores, so looks like if you want a sweater like Reggie’s, you’re probably going to have to knit one yourself!
Learn more about the badass costume designer, Ceci, and the color story of Dear White People Season Two here. You can follow her on Instagram too!
