"needle ice" 2021-22^→aw

This design expresses a frost pole glistening in the morning sun. When I was small, I liked to walk on the frost pillars on the path I found on my way to school. I remember the scenery of the frost pillar crystals hidden under the soil, glistening in the light.

The embroidery pattern with holes in the winter material may look unexpected, but the warm material inside and the embroidery pattern through which they shine would make the whole look lighter. I imagine that it would be a fresh way to wear winter clothes, as they tend to have heavy impression.

It is a pity that it is not easy to see soil roads in urban areas these days, but if I come across such a road in the cold winter, I would like to step on it, overlapping memories of those days.
