From the book: "The reverse side of this fabric is extremely pretty, showing deep-textured rows of puffs. The pattern is very good for soft, loose garments such as bedjackets and robes, or in fine yarn for dressy sweaters."Collection

Carren’s Russian grandmother taught her how to knit at age 6. She became a more avid knitter while in law school, never putting her needles down. She inherited her grandmother’s metal needles, which she keeps in a vase on her desk. She is trying to determine what to create out of the last item her grandmother was knitting when she passed away - it’s Lett Lopi, which she knows well now as she has visited the factory in Iceland. She is thrilled that her children appreciate her work now that they’re in college.Lexicon
