In her debut knitwear design collection, Hardwicke just might have you at "Hydrangea" . . . . Cherry blossoms, butterflies and oak leaves are among the other motifs, most of which are worked in intarsia, with a few incorporating stranded colorwork.

The designer behind product collections for the National Trust and the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, among others, Dee Hardwicke's artwork has been translated into tableware, flooring, and stationery. It was only a matter of time before this talented nature lover and passionate knitter would seek to weaver her pretty patterns into knitted garments. In her third knitting book and first collection of wearables, Hardwicke has taken favorite motifs including butterflies, flowers, hearts, and her logo, and Fair Isle'd and intarsia'd them onto jackets, pullovers, cardigans, wraps, and other goodies.

Using a palette of heathered and tweedy Rowan yarns, Hardwicke has produced twelve fresh and fun knits including the Pom-Pom Shawl dappled with butterflies, the cheery Spring Blossom Cardigan, and the Heart Leaf Boxy Pullover, which wears its hearts everywhere. Illustrated with Hardwicke's charming watercolors, Knits from Nature represents the next chapter for this multidisciplinary artist, from whom we hope to see even more gardens of knitterly delights.
