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.
