Yarn Stories Botanics Collection

Yarn Stories recently launched the new Botanics Collection full of beautiful designs for Spring and Summer. I am delighted that three of my designs are included in this lovely Collection.

Davallia is a v-neck cabled cardigan, knitted in Yarn Stories Fine Merino DK. The elegant pale grey shade is called Dove. Before fully unfurling, the new growth fronds of a woodland fern are tight little curls on long stems. These curled fern fronds are the inspiration for my fern cable and twisted stitch design. Cable stems and twisted stitch fronds curl from flattering long lines.

Hyssop is a summer top inspired by the spiky leaves and flowers of the Hyssop plant. The twisted stitch pattern is set on a reverse stocking stitch background. The design has long leaves beginning at the cast on edge and shorter leaves towards the neckline. The beautiful blue shade of Fine Merino DK is called Bluebell.

Katsura is a kimono style cardigan with short sleeves. My twisted stitch design is inspired by citrus trees full of oranges, lemons and limes. Each fruit motif hangs from a twisted stitch branch and has a tiny leaf. The Fine Merino DK shade of fennel is perfect for this summer design.
