Description

From the book: "This is a handsome arrangement of a Simple Check Pattern into columns and bands, the checks being grouped into windows of six 'panes' each. The pattern is wonderfully simple to work and yet novel enough to make a most original garment."

Notes

Svenja's mother and grandmother taught her to knit at age 6 or 7. She enjoys knitting lace patterns of all kinds, though she took a break from that to raise children and have a career as a general practitioner. Knitting has helped her through many tough moments -- by focusing on just one pattern she can relax and let her soul come to rest. She tries to give other people happiness, friendship, and stability through her small online knitting club.
