Description

From the book: "This famous pattern is also (erroneously) called Bobble Pattern, and it probably has a few other names as well. It is one of the best of the 'knobbly' texture patterns and is often used in panels to help embellish fancy-knit garments like fisherman sweaters."

Notes

As a longtime Barbara Walker fan, Cheryl enjoyed working on swatches for this project. At the time of knitting them she was pondering a major life decision -- feeling somewhat adrift, knitting was once again the anchor to her calm, peace, and knowledge that no matter what may come there is always solace and hope in the simple joy of creativity with yarn in hand.
