From the book: "It is very handy to know this technique of knitting a row of loop fringe across a fabric. Its decorative possibilities are endless. A few rows of such fringe can make an edging for coat collars and cuffs, or borders for stoles, blankets, pillow covers, jackets, and hats. A very deep fringed border or an all-over fringed fabric can be made simply by repeating the pattern rows as often as desired. Loop rugs can be made by this method, as can shag mats and bathrooms."Collection

Amy comes from a long line of knitters. Her grandmother, Joyce Grant, taught her to knit when she was small and she cannot remember not knowing how to knit. Her mother, Hilary Leckridge, is a beautiful knitter also and they frequently share in progress works with one another. Like her, her daughter, Aurora Palko, was taught by great-grandmother, Joyce Grant. It is such a blessing that she gets to share the passion of knitting with the wonderful women in her life. It makes her life richer and more joyful. Each of these 4 women mentioned have knit a swatch in contribution to this knitting project.Lexicon
