Description

From the book: "This pattern is excellent for sweaters, and is very effective when worked in fine yarn. Like many of the tweed-type patterns, it is interesting as a sort of optical illusion: it can be seen as dark strings of "beads" on a light background, or as light ones on a dark background."

Notes

Joyce taught herself to knit when she was 12 years old. She knit off and on again for her adult life until returning to fervent knitting in her retirement years. She normally has up to four projects on the go at any given time and enjoys advancing her techniques and learning new skills. Her favorite items to knit are those that are requested by family members. Joyce believes that you never need to be bored if you can knit.
