Learn how to dye wool and knit XL pieces using your arms

Inspiratemirando began as the travel blog of photographer and designer Javiera Ortiz, a place where she wrote and shared photographs of all the things she liked. But her constant search for inspiration led her to discover XL knitting, and it became her new obsession. She learned this new technique almost accidentally, and as a result, she turned her travel blog into a page dedicated to XL knitting. Today she is an expert in this technique and leads XL knitting workshops.
