Would love to make this one a T-shirt someday, though more popular ones will likely go first. #sambarsky #sambarskysweaters #sambarskyknitter #knit #knitting #knitter #art #artist #sweater #intarsia #handknit #shenandoahnationalpark #shenandoah #shenandoahpark #skylinedrive #skyline #nationalpark #nationalparks #virginia #frontroyal #frontroyalva #frontroyalvirginia #darkhollow #darkhollowfalls #blueridgemountains (at Shenandoah National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmccH4vPSPq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
