botanical knits is inspired by alana's love of leaves and she has incorporated it into a stunning collection of hand knits that fits so perfectly with her beautiful aesthetic. true to her style and signature look botanical knits is filled with 12 patterns ranging from sweaters & cardigans, to shawls, socks and mitts. and let's not forget the hats! some of my fave projects alana designs are her hats. this collection features 3 hat patterns all of which are awesome! i have already cast on for my fave - forest floor and i'm loving it!
alana's patterns are well written, clear and easy to follow and the layout of the book is truly inspiring. i really enjoyed the special touches that the graphic designer - Mary Joy Gumayagay, added to the book. in particular her table of contents and yarn pages just made me clap with excitement (shown above). they are fresh, unique and fit the vibe of the book perfectly. i also enjoyed how she tied in the "botanical" aspect of the theme and really reflected the vibe of specimens. i thoroughly enjoyed it! alongside Neesha Hudson's soft and endearing illustrations and the breathtaking photography by Carlee Tatum this book is sure to be a new fave for anyone's collection. i can't wait to make more of the projects!
what do you think? are you ready to go on a wee walk through the woods? let's go get inspired by the leaves shall we? and maybe at the end of it you might win a copy of botanical knits of your own??? hehehe....click below to read more, drool over pics with me and to enter the giveaway!
