The name of the shawl simply means "Herborg's Three-cornered Shawl". Before working knitting patterns from this book, I heartily recommend that you read all the translation notes.

Yes, of course, I thought... hard with soft, crunchy with chewy, plain with sweet, cool with hot -- all the Chinese principles of yin and yang right there before 8 a.m. When we returned to the States, one of my first orders of business was to make big crocks of homemade fermented rice throughout the cold months.
