Description

From the book: "The handsome simplicity of this pattern makes it good for an entire garment, when the garment is desired in an all-over purl-stitch light ornamented. On the other hand, a single panel of Twist-Stitch Waves can be used very successfully in more complicated creation, like a fisherman sweater, in combination with cables and other patterns. If two single panels of Twist-Stitch Waves are to be placed on either side of a common center, then one of the panels should be started on Row 1 and the other started on Row 17 so that the right and left diagonals will balance."

Notes

Jane's mother taught her to knit when she was a child. She has lived in New York City for most of her life and currently works in a yarn shop -- a perfect match for her! She knits baby items, sweaters for her and her son, gifts for family and friends, and more recently, she has been obsessed with knitting shawls. She is constantly referring to Barbara Walker's knitting treasuries and finds them indispensable.
