Curiosity cabinets were collections of wonderful and amazing things—plants, fossils, gems, bones, ancient coins, and much else—gathered together to show off the array of marvels that the world has to offer. I loved the idea of assembling a knitter’s curiosity cabinet—one full of fancy edgings and captivating stitch patterns and fabulous shapes instead of shells and pebbles and seeds. This book is the result.

Each of the patterns here was inspired by a vintage botanical illustration (illustrations were one of the ways people documented and shared the contents of their curiosity cabinets). And each illustration led to two patterns: one for a pair of socks and one for something else entirely. Each project offers something special that I hope will catch your eye and inspire you to add it to your own collection.

While you’re here, you can find out more about each of the individual sock and accessory patterns, order the book, or get in touch.  When we get a bit closer to the book’s release date, I’ll come back and post news about blog tours, interviews, reviews, knit-alongs, and events.
