Yokoo's Knit Party!


''Yokoo is an accidental knitting wunderkind who resides in a magical place called Atlanta, where she chips away tirelessly and obsessively at creating weird and beautiful neckwear. She recently became internet-famous for her chunky, inspired wares and the cute self-portraits she uses to hock them to the masses. That’s right, she’s the nimble-fingered elf behind those massive chain-link scarves and mini-capes every girl you know has been fawning over. And she and her carpal tunnels thank each and every one of you. In less than two years she’s been able to quit her lousy retail job and dedicate every waking hour to turning her high school hobby into the launching pad for a handmade empire. Now that she’s got everyone’s attention, with back orders piling up, she’s adding new pieces to her line. That’s kind of nuts since she does it all by herself.'' says Vice.



She really is a breath of fresh air introducing new sensation and putting her stamp on it. I like her because I'm all about scarfs. I am always looking for enormous scarfs in exclusive colours and it looks like I have found them! The most unique thing about her is her funky style and the fact that she does everything by herself, from knitting to photography. You guys should really check out her little online shop on etsy!◆
