Description

Notes

Ann and Donald Molen have been married for over ten years and knit these swatches together. Ann learned to knit from her mother, fondly known as Weezie, at eight. They chose a lighter blue yarn because it is Ann's mother's favorite color. Also, in one of the swatches, they included a pattern that Ann's mother often includes in her knitting projects, Twisted Tree of Life.
