Brooklyn · 5 years making
· Meet the maker ·
Brooklyn-based knitter obsessed with glitched gradients and late-90s bodega signage.
Mika learned to knit during the 2020 lockdown from her grandmother over FaceTime — five years later she runs a two-person studio above a laundromat in Bushwick. Her work pulls from bootleg Yankees caps, corner-store neon, and the chaotic color of weekend farmers markets. Every Alvarez sock starts as a hand-sketched palette swatch before it ever touches a loom.
