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'm in love with autumns end... :))
I love pressed leaves although it is hard to choose just one they are all so amazing:)((((Hugs4U)))Darcy
I think Oak Trail would be my first project. Rav amchart
I LOVE this collection!!!! (Especially Autumn's End.)
Autumn's end is beautiful, but I really like Forest floor, but eventually I'd like to knit them all!!!
I want the book!
I do like Twigs and Willows. The knits are sure lovely in fall colors. Please enter my name for a chance. Thanks.
LynnIL ravelry
Love the lace detail of autumn's end.
I would knit Autumn's End first, its simply stunning! AmandaLynA on Ravelry. Thanks for the chance to win!
My favorite is Autumns end.
I don't know which I want to knit the most - Oak Trail, Autumn's End or Pressed Leaves. I'll eventually knit them all, I'm sure!
Twigs and Willows is a favourite of mine! But they are all beautiful. Thanks for the chance to win!
Hey Julie- Just found your blog a few weeks ago and really like what you do on it. Today I was excited to see your giveaway. I love Alana's new pattens...if I had to pick my fave would be Autumn's End cardi. Thanks for great giveaway.
Such a beautiful collection of patterns! I would love to knit the Twigs and Willows Cardigan.
Autumn's end is definitely at the top of my list...but really, the whole collection is stunning!
It would have to be Autumn's End, followed closely by everything else :-)
Autumn's End, definitely.
Hi Knittedbliss, when I get my hands on this book of patterns the first one I am going to cast on for is Autumn's End!
It would be Autumn's End too! But I will definitely knit others. I have yet to knit from Coastal Knits too... Too many things to knit! Thanks for that great giveaway!
My favorite : Autumn's End - like it a lot!
Entangled vines would be my first k it although I like all the patterns.
I absolutely love this collection. It really is a tough choice but I think my first knit would be Entangled Vines.
mrsmommy on Rav
Autumn's End, although the Twigs and Willows AND Entangled Vines (oh, who am I kidding - they're all gorgeous) are also lovely. But if I had to pick one, right now, it would be Autumn's End.
I have the Coastal Knits book and love it!
RavID: jhaskin
I saw this and immediately thought of my best friend, who loves anything knitted with leaves on it. I would make her Autumn's End, probably in that exact color.
I'd love to knit the Ivy Trellis Mittens first, but all the patterns are great.
Eskyria @ravelry
I LOVE the Autumns End sweater!
I love the oak trail hats. And then matching mitts would be nice. And who can wear a hat and mitts without a sweater....oh so many choices! Thanks for the chance to win this awesome prize!
I love the pressed leaves hat. Lovely!
I could see myself knitting every one of them, but the twigs and willows would definitely be first.
GemfireKnits
I need twigs and willows. It's gorgeous.
Gah picking just one! So difficult as they are all gorgeous, but probably twigs and willows. Rav id coldtoesneedsocks.
Forest Floor would be the first on my needles, followed closely by Autumn's End. bufo13 on ravelry
I love these designs! While I love the look of the cloche, not sure if I can pull off that look so I'd probably go with Entangled Vines.
Great !
I love all !
But if I have to love one .. than Twigs and Willows ...
Ravelry : Magrit
Autumns end is lovely, but then they all are.
I'd be casting on Twigs and Willows. alcbrooks on Ravelry
I want to make the ivy trellis socks.
I'd love to knit Entangled vines, then about everything else in the book.
I would case on for the spring foliage mitts right away...while trying to decide which of those gorgeous sweaters to knit.
Love them all but especially Autumns end.
joanneperrow on ravelry
My first choice to knit from this collection would be Autumn's End. It's so beautiful.
Ravelry: brunatos
This whole collection is beautiful, but since my 1-year old kitten Maeby ate a hole in my winter mittens, my first knit would easily have to be the Ivy Trellis Mittens. ;)
Rav name: avakate
I would love to make Spring foliage first! All of the patterns are beautiful, she has out done herself again! Everyone of them would be a treat to make!
I have my eye on Twin Leaf Loop. But the pressed leaves hat is appealing too. So many to choose from!
Helios7 on rav.
Twin leaf look or Pressed leaves for starters! Anne0731 on Rav.
I love everything but i will start right away with the oak trail hat and the wrapped in leaves shawl.

Twigs and willows!
Rav id: nassau
By a landslide, Autumns End. stunning.
Ooh - tough call! It was a toss up between Pressed Leaves and Entangled Vines with the latter edging ahead right at the end of my debate! What can I say, I feel the need for a new cardigan... RavID: StitchyAlli
So hard to pick but I think first I'd pick Entangled Vines.
I've posted to FB and Twitter. Thanks for the chance.(I've got my face pressed up against the screen admiring all of them!)

Definitely Autumn's End! Such a lovely pattern.
Your Forest Floor hat came out so nicely in Poppy, Julie!
love the sleeve details on entangled vines or I'd start with oak trail first.
kanani on ravelry
I would love to knit Autumn's End. This would be such a useful piece in my wardrobe, and it looks really fun to knit.
Monikita on Rav
I would do the Autumn's End, it's my favorite. I would have to shop for yarn first, though.
mamamustknit on Ravelry
I love Twigs and Willows...but I kind of love them all!!
bean1082@gmail.com
I'd have to say Oak Trail. I love all the other patterns and usually would jump on something like the Spring Foliage mitts first, but I love the clean lines of the cloche, and the leaf detail! (Rav: noveltea)
So many beautiful patterns! But Autumn's End is the one that's calling to me the loudest right now.
Botanical Knits Review and Giveaway. I would make the Autumn's End Sweater first (probably, there are so many pretty ones)! My ravelry ID is zzi.
I'm smitten with Spring Foliage and that's probably because I love knitting small projects :) But it's so hard to choose! A wonderful collection!!! I would love to win a copy of the e-book to be able to knit them all :):):)

Twin leaf loop looks divine. showbiz on rav
Autumn's End is so pretty, but I can't seem to knit lace to save my life. I'd probably knit Oak Trail first.
Twin Leaf Loop is my first choice. Love all the patterns though.

Autumn's End is particularly gorgeous, so elegant. They're all beautiful though.
Spring foliage. It's just turned cold here... Rav bridiealeena

Love them all, but particularly Autumn's End. So delicate and beautiful.
Absolutely Twigs and Willows! It is gorgeous :) (SarahVV on Rav)
I'm in love with all these patterns, but right now Twigs and Willows is pulling at my knitting heart-strings. I love the color the sample is knit in!
those are some beautiful patterns!

Thanks for the chance to win!

I want to knit practically everything in this collection but I think I will probably knit Forest Floor first. Or maybe the Twin Leaf Loop. It's still pretty cold and snowy here :)
alligator on Rav
allirosen(at)hotmail(dot)com
They are all stunning, but the uniqueness of Autumn's End first caught my attention. I will definitely start with this sweater and can't wait to make the hats, the mitts, etc. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!
Woohoo! I love that Forest Floor hat!
serafinapekkala on Ravelry.
I am in love with the Entangled Vines pattern. I'm thinking about trying to knit this for me, as my first attempt at adult sweater knitting.

Definitely Entangled Vines!! Or maybe Forest Floor? Um, yeah. All of them. (Rav: Kamigaeru)
I'm torn. I can't decide if I'd knit Forest Floor first, or Spring Foliage. (Current hat-on-needles count is 5, current mitts-on-needles count is 2. Who's gonna notice one more project?)
thanks for the chance to win this awesome book!

Autumn's End or then again it might be Twigs and Willows. I love anything with leaves. Even the cursed pair of socks I'm working n now without a single plain row. Not onE!
rav id: intavira
I love all of them and have been looking forward to these patterns. I really love Spring Foliage though.
twin leaf loop! for instant gratification, and well, I think my sister would love Autumn's end. (to wear, I'd probably have to knit it for her!)
Ravelry ID: jotheng
I have already knit forest floor and love it. but the real reason I had to have the book was twigs and willow. I love this sweater - I will hand-dye some yarn in my garden this summer and have this to wear by next fall. I am thinking golden rod with just a little walnut ; )
since I bought the book on preorder I would give it to my sister
I am a big fan of fingerless mitts- quick, pretty, can't have too many...and a great accessory. Spring Foliage is my favorite! Thanks!

Oak Trail for sure! I have the perfect yarn, too..

I would like to attempt the Twigs & Willows cardigan. The design element at the top is perfect to bring the eyes upward away from my too large behind! ha ha Marni triple7tahoe on Ravelry.
Twigs and Willows looks like a beautiful cardigan, which is hard to find. I like the way the design forms a yoke across the front.
I would love Twigs and willows :)
Autumn's end is my favorite, but the pressed leaves hat is pretty, too.

I am a fan of Alana as well and would love to knit all of her patterns if I had the time. I think I would start with Pressed Leaves for spring.
