Description

From the book: "Although it is one of the simplest of three-color patterns, the Shadow Box is very striking. It uses color, rather than texture, to give the impression of a heavily sculptured surface."

Notes

Susan's mother taught her to knit when she was 8 years old but lost interest quickly after. 40 years later a friend invited Susan to join a knitting group and she got hooked! She knit this swatch at her desk accompanied by her dogs, Buddy, Ty, and Tucker.
