Dee Hardwicke is a British artist, designer and knitter whose work is deeply inspired by Britain’s ever-changing landscapes and cottage gardens. Her sketchbooks serve as a visual diary of her life, capturing the enchanting details of nature. Dee’s creativity spans multiple mediums, from knitting to collaborations with esteemed partners like the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and the National Trust, where her artistic vision is brought to life through beautiful flooring, tableware and stationery.

Jonna Helin is the creative soul behind Laine Publishing, with 25 years of experience in the publishing industry. Raised in a family of crafters, she grew up listening to the rhythmic clicking of knitting needles, the soundtrack of her life. For Jonna, knitting is a sanctuary, offering peace and calm from the demands of daily life and soothing her busy mind.

Stunning colourwork patterns

The patterns in CULTIVATE embrace the creativity of colourwork. I love how the embroidery emphasizes the details in the natural motifs. Due to the amount of colours used in some of the patterns, the cost of yarn adds up quickly, but these will definitely be special, heirloom pieces!

I've been knitting for years, have a vast collection of knitting books and patterns, and this is possibly the most gorgeous book of knitting I have ever seen. On to a project - decisions, decisions.

Beautiful photography, just a wonderful book to have! I saw later on most patterns are working with a duplicate stitch instead of color work but nevertheless.. I can’t wait to get started. I also have The Knitted Fabric by Dee Hardwicke so my color work game can go on!
