Ribbed lattice with bobbles

Entry/Object ID

Description

From the book: "Bobbles made by this method are nubby and stiff, rather than loose and "bobbly". This is a decided advantage if the knitted article is to withstand hard use. Note that Row 1 is a preparation row, omitted from subsequent repeats."

Notes

Joanne has been knitting for over 50 years, first learning from a neighbor in Baltimore. Barbara Walker’s books were a source of inspiration, and she used patterns from her first book when she knitted her first sweater. She knit the Ribbed Lattice with Bobble swatch while fostering a cat that belonged to a friend that passed away.
