Notes

Carolyn has been an ardent fan of Barbara Walker since a time when the fundamentals of knitting and purling were elusive to her. During her early days of knitting, she stumbled across one of Barbara’s anthologies at her local yarn shop and bought it, sensing greatness. She has since drawn inspiration from Barbara Walker for knitting patterns of her own, and remains in awe of her creativity and contributions to the knitting community.
