Description

From the book: "A hand-knitted gift sweater is surely a labor of love, and all the more evidently so when it carries this handsome heart-shaped pattern. Note that the first 3 rows are preparatory, not to be repeated after the pattern has been started."

Notes

Laurie started knitting when she was pregnant with her first child. Being bedridden helped her get past the complex parts of knitting! She has been knitting ever since, for almost 30 years. Her favorite part of knitting is the textures, which was why she was excited to make the Valentine Cable pattern. She enjoys other fiber arts, but knitting is her favorite!
