Berroco Zodiac is constructed with
a strand of cotton yarn running parallel to space-dyed nylon, producing a matte and shine effect. Then it is wrapped with a thin black thread to create a yarn that has an artisan appeal. When knit, it has a lovely drape, and when crocheted you can create hats and bags with body and durability.
Zodiac is 20% off retail! Create a classic design or a bohemian bag to tote your crafts to the beach this summer. |

"You knit with great skill, madame."
"I am accustomed to it."
"A pretty pattern too!"
"YOU think so?" said madame, looking at him with a smile.
"Decidedly. May one ask what it is for?"
"Pastime," said madame, still looking at him with a smile while her fingers moved nimbly.
"Not for use?"
"That depends. I may find a use for it one day. If I do – Well," said madame, drawing
a breath and nodding her head with a stern kind of coquetry, "I'll use it!" |

* This charming excerpt is seen in the catalog of art published in conjunction with the exhibition
Radical Lace & Subversive Knitting. See the exhibit at the
Museum of Arts & Design in New York City through June 17, 2007. The catalog notes,
"Madam Defarge, one of the major characters in Dickens's novel, knitted continuously while attending meetings of the French Revolutionary assemblies and while watching people being executed by guillotine. She encoded a long list of aristocrats and enemies of the Revolutionary government in the stitches of her knitting."
