The 10 patterns in this book represent a collection of some of my all-time favorites, with designs ranging from simple stranded colorwork to textured patterns and eyelet lace. They are all suitable for intermediate-level knitters.

My inspiration comes from my travels around the world. I like to spend time in historic settings, visiting local artisan markets and bazaars, and also taking in landscapes and natural features. I try to recreate what I have seen in stitch patterns – interpreting elements of nature, landmarks, and textiles I’ve come across.

You’ll find triangular shawls and shawlettes, knit from the top down and the bottom up; easy-to-knit stranded colorwork cowls; a Fair Isle scarf knit in the round (and a couple of Fair Isle beanies); and a winter holiday-themed shawl that combines a few different colorwork techniques.
