From the book: "This pattern makes a thick, dense fabric calculated to keep the wearer warm. It is well suited to heavy jackets, coats, and afghans. Check gauge, and be sure to cast on enough stitches for proper width. In small areas it is good for borders, such as neckbands and cuffs."Collection

Wendy has always been involved in handwork of all kinds. Knitting is her favorite therapy and she loves to challenge herself with new patterns. She considers her knitting to be a legacy of her late mother-in-law, who was an accomplished knitter and taught Wendy what she knew, even while battling dementia.Lexicon
