From the book: "This graceful, lacy fabric with its pretty curves and its combination of knit and purl textures is quite easy to work, and remarkably effective in evening wear or fancy fine-yarn sweaters. It is less open than a true lace but has the same general quality."Collection

Originally from Wisconsin, Katie learned to knit and embroider from her grandma while staying at their farm during summer breaks. Her grandma owned several Barbara Walker Treasuries that she would flip through for inspiration, but this project is her first time knitting a swatch. She used needles passed down from her grandma and yarn from her local yarn store. She loves that knitting is more than a product - it is history & memory, materials & process.Lexicon
