Notes

Nancy learned to know in 2007 alongside her then eight-year-old daughter and soon found herself hooked. She has come to love mistakes and the concentration they take. This swatch was a challenge for her because she has never cabled before. Nancy wants to knit for as long as her hands can hold needles and yarn.
