It was whilst roaming the moors and woods of her native Cornwall that she studied these animals, sketching them and scrutinising them, to better translate them into stitches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHer sketches and naturalist studies accompany each pattern and lend the book a truly unique atmosphere, halfway between a field notebook and a comprehensive knitting guide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePatterns of remarkable fidelity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes this collection so irresistible?
