This project was featured in ANPTmag Issue 47, which centers on chakras, mandalas, and meditation, inviting us on a journey of self-discovery through needlework. The issue encourages makers to interpret these mesmerizing ideas in their own way, and it even notes that you’ll be the talk of your yoga class when you wear the Wiggle Room socks!
