Notes

Rhonda knit this swatch during a time of transition that she refers to as a "blue" period. What kept her going through this time was consistency, and this swatch is symbolic of this time in her life. The blues mixed with a consistent up and down pattern perfectly represented the highs and lows of her experiences.
