The staff of judges loved Becca’s unique designs, color, and avant-garde style requesting that she showcase her line in the events grand finale run way model black tie event on May 12th.

It’s a good medium as far as color and texture that you can do so much with.” She also mentions, “It’s amazing to watch a skein of yarn become a three dimensional piece. It’s like making a sculpture. It’s fun to look at, fun to wear, and people just can’t help smiling when they see it.”
