Notes

Kathryn lives in Virginia with her partner, three kids, and seven cats. She had never heard of Barbara Walker before but enjoyed the experience of knitting this swatch! After learning to knit 20 years ago, she relearned to knit four years ago and has made it her goal to knit herself a cable pullover.
