Description

From the book: "This is a very handsome arrangement of Bells and Bell-Ropes in a panel. Being a narrow vertical pattern it will combine nicely with cables and other vertical embossed patterns. Innumerable other variations on Bell and Bell-Ropes are possible, with the 'ropes' being space at varying distances and the 'bells' at varying positions upon them."

Notes

Nancy’s mother taught her to knit when she was five years old -- she’s been knitting for over half a century now! She loves to knit everything from sweaters to cowls, hats, gloves, scarves, socks, and afghans. She likes both cable work and color knitting. Every project is an adventure and a meditative escape. Her job as a curator at an art museum provides her opportunities to travel all over the world, and wherever she goes she seeks out local yarn stores. Needless to say, her yarn stash is huge, but that doesn’t stop her from acquiring more.
