2020.1.173Description
From the book: "This is the only one of the many 'honeycombs' which is pure illusion. The strands which give the honeycomb effect are not diagonally linked at all, but only touch one another. It is strictly a horizontal pattern, which fools the eye into seeing a diagonal cross-hatch."Collection

circa 2020Notes
Veronika was taught to knit and crochet at the age of five by both her grandmother and mother. Prior to having her firstborn, after moving from the Soviet Union to Connecticut, she bonded with her mother-in-law over knitting and crocheting. For Veronika, knitting is a sort of meditation and a way to "switch off" the constant stream of thoughts. She enjoys watching movies or listening to audiobooks while she knits. She likes to knit top-down garments with interesting shoulder constructions, socks, and scarves.Lexicon
