Finally I have got around to producing a handknitting version of Nomad Collection! This collection contains fabric designs which are perfect for knitting gloves, scarves mittens and socks as well as the usual pullovers etc. The collection brings together the traditional shapes and burnt colours of the carpets and textiles of the desert peoples of the Americas and the east. There is a traditional intricate fairisle design, "desert weave", a bold pineapple cone design, and ikat, kelim and durry inspired designs. There are brocade-like designs featuring the familiar pomegranate tree motif and Egytian floral, a small floral "desert bloom" and the fireburst design. In the handknitting version I've included illustrations and instructions for all the alternate colourways shown in the garments and swatches knitted from Nomad Collection designs in the illustrations below.
