Written by Norah Gaughan, one of the most innovative and respected knitwear designers working today, Knitting Nature was an instant classic when it was released in hardcover in 2006, and it is now available at a must-have paperback price. In Knitting Nature, Gaughan blends together the natural and artistic world with 39 stunning, fun-to-knit designs for women, men, and children. Among them are a skirt patterned after the hexagonal scales nature has used to cover a domed turtle's shell, a jacket whose collar grows in a spiral--much the same way a ram's horn does--and a tank top with leaves that grow the same way they do on a stem. Also available from Norah Gaughan: Norah Gaughan's Knitted Cable Sourcebook, Comfort Knitting & Crochet: Babies & Toddlers, and Comfort Knitting & Crochet: Afghans.… (more)

Classic knitting designs inspired by patterns in nature. Patterns are challenging but wearable. (

Man, I love the way her designs look. I've FINALLY picked a couple to try making (Spiral Scarf, Sunflower Tam) and can't wait to get the yarn and go. (

Norah Gaughan is just such a great designer. I love almost every pattern in here. They are all just so differant from your average pattern. They don't look to hard to make but just have a beautiful and interesting design and construction. (
