Knitting Plant Anatomy: Shawl patterns inspired by the beauty of microscopic plant anatomy - Paperback

by Julia Riede (Author)

The book Plant Anatomy by Nehemiah Grew (published in 1680) inspired me to create a collection of shawl designs around the theme microscopic anatomy of plants. Grew's book is full of detailed, beautiful illustrations of the microscopic anatomy of plants: mostly cells, and lots of interesting textures evolving naturally. I decided to create a shawl design collection and document the project from start to finish, providing you exclusive insight on the details of creation processes of ten different shawl designs, their compilation into a pattern collection and their final publication in book form.
