Review on 🧶 Knitting Nature: Explore 39 Nature-Inspired Designs for Creative Knitting by Karla Richter

I've been a fan of Nora Gaugan for a while and have often admired her patterns in various knitting magazines. When I saw that she had written a book, I did something I rarely do. I ordered it without seeing the eye hoping it would be interesting and maybe inspire me to try something new. Well, not only was I inspired to knit, but also to get outside, look around and admire nature. When I first opened it, the book literally took my breath away. The designs are amazing and each design is so beautifully photographed that I watched it over and over again. "Knitting Nature" features page after page of beautiful designs that will make your fingers tingle as you throw them. The visuals of the book are excellent. It turns out that Nora is not only a talented knitter but also a mathematical wizard, and in Nature Knitting she guides you through her design journey using shapes and theories from nature. The commentary on their design process is interesting to read. I can't wait for the book tour as I'd love to learn more about their approach to design. The criterion for every knitting book is the quality of the instructions. The instructions in Knitting with Nature seemed a bit complicated at first, but once I read the instructions I felt a little more confident because the instructions are clear, concise and easy to read. I can barely wait for it, trying out my first project. I should mention that some of the recommended threads are expensive. For those of you looking for more than just another simple pattern book to get some inspiration; this is a book to buy.
