Pattern description from Vogue Knitting, Spring/Summer 2007: “many lace knitters tend to memorize patterns and zone out when stitching. Not Deborah Newton, who keeps you on your toes, injecting her V-neck pullover with three different lace schemes and a deep rib at the hemline that create a blouson effect. Work it in delectable ‘Alpaca Silk’ by blue sky Alpacas.”
