Snow Inspiration
Thursday 2nd December 2010

Like most designers, I take my inspiration partly from nature – how I’d love to be able to knit something as beautiful, wintery and ethereal as this image of a basket of allium seed heads in my snowy garden, collected in the summer and now all frosted. And what a great value plant it is: first the slowly developing flower buds, then the frankly very show-off-ski flowers and finally the skeletal seed heads.

Wow that is really stunning – nature is the ultimate designer isn’t it?
