So if you haven't yet seen Alana's beautiful new collection, Botanical Knits, then holy moly, are you ever in for a treat. I recently made Forest Floor in a weekend, and I am still loving it. And I can't wait to work my way through the rest of the collection. It's really hard to pick a favourite out of the 13 patterns, but these 6 are on my personal knit list (since I've already knit Forest Floor):
Top, from left to right: Spring Foliage, Pressed Leaves, Twigs and Willows.
Bottom, left to right: Twin Leaf Loop, Autumn's End, Entangled Vines.
The collection is heavily inspired by nature, with different types of leaves featuring strongly in the designs. All the designs seem timeless, and the silhouettes are very flattering. There is something for everyone in this collection, but if you enjoy knitting hats and sweaters, I think you'll be particularly smitten.You can check out the whole collection on Ravelry, or on botanicalknits.com .
Want a copy of this collection? Of course you do. You can order the print copy for $22 + shipping. As a special thank you for preordering, you get the e-book for free immediately. Or you can order the e-book by itself for $18.
OR... maybe you'll be the lucky winner of a copy of the e-book right here! To enter the giveaway, leave a comment (don't forget your Rav ID or email!) telling me which pattern you would most love to knit right away. Bonus entries for posting on Twitter or Facebook. Deadline to enter is Monday, March 4th, 6:00 p.m. (EST). The winner will be announced on Wednesday. Good luck!

I would have a hard time choosing between Oak Trail and Forest Floor. ksathre on Ravelry
I love so many of them, but I think Entangled VInes is my favorite right now.

Thanks so much for the giveaway! A lot of the patterns are really beautiful, so it's hard to decide, but I think first I'd go for Spring Foliage cause my hands are (almost) always cold!

'Twigs and Willows" is for me
My knitting destiny!
(in case a cute little poem increases my chances of winning :) )
I just recently "faved" the Twigs and Willows cardigan on Ravelry...I love it! It's such a simple yet elegant design. The shaping is perfect, and I love the leaf detail.

Oak Trail, most definitely. fridica on rav
I think if I don't win this I will buy it! I like Twigs & Willows and Autumn's end best. I think the yarns she used make such a difference.
ravID:surfchick
Such pretty patterns! They are all beautiful and if a person has to choice a favorite it would be Autumn's end.

Rav: patken2
Autumn's End is so pretty, and the color she used is just perfect. Twigs and Willows is lovely too, I like the design along the top.
I'm aimee73 on Ravelry.
I was just looking at the ravelry page for the twin leaves loop!
Twigs and Willows is my favorite - it just has such fantastic lines. It's very striking in a not-too-loud way.
This is such a beautiful collection of designs. I would try to do Entangled Vines first, but it is hard to choose. I'd love to win the book! Thanks for offering it.
Ajane on ravelry
I would like to start with spring foliage and work my way through the rest. They are all gorgeous!
I would start with Twin Leaf Loop. Something quick and then maybe the Pressed Leaves hat. All are adorbs!

All gorgeous, but cardigans always sing their siren songs to me, and so entangled Vines would be my choice
For me Autumn's End would be the first :)

Spring Foliage - love them!

Totally has to be Entangled Vines.
It's a cardigan, it's top-down, it's raglan, and it has a beautiful pattern cascading down the sleeves. I love it!!!
Twigs and Willows is my fave! What a beautiful book!
So hard to pick a favorite... But "Autumns End" wins out for me, with several others close behind.
They are all beautiful patterns, but I love Buds and Blossoms! And Autumn's End! Ravelry ID: gretalj
I fell in love with Oak Tree after your last post!
