Roses - The Design Collection 14 designs for hand knitted
garments.
This is my first collection of yarns and hand knitwear
designs that are symbiotic. The inspiration behind my
selection of yarns for this collection was evoked by a
memory triggered by my four year old daughter. Recently I
found her collecting fallen flower petals and putting them
into a bowl, as a child, I also gathered rose petals from my
mother’s garden, put them into a large mixing bowl and
marvelled at the wonderful colours and textures. Smooth waxy
petals and soft fluffy stamen that stained your fingers, and
their overwhelming heady perfume. Flowers play an important
part in the person I am, they draw me with their colours,
their shapes, their intricacies. I always like to be
surrounded by them, a reminder of how clever nature is, the
way it knits together many different elements to create one
perfect bloom. |
