Under the Midnight Moon by Dee Hardwicke. The base of the shawl is a simply knitted rectangle that changes colours halfway through. The dappled motif is applied after with duplicate stitch. Knit in a two strands of a mohair lace for the background and one strand for the duplicate details. I would of course choose Fyberspates Cumulus for this with all its jewel tones, I’m particular drawn to this colour Sea Green for one of the shades. You will need 4 balls of each for both background colours and then oddments for the duplicate stitch details.

Walled Garden by Dee Hardwicke. Dee is a master at creating a simple colourwork motif over a few stitches that when repeated creates something bigger than the sum of its parts. This wrap is no exception. Featuring an all over geometric design which is dense enough to avoid long floats. The subtle colour change half way through the design can be made more dramatic depending on your colour choices. Knit in a 4ply singles I would be tempted to knit it in something with a little more grip like the Hillesvåg Sølje and Vilje. You will need one skein of four different colours. I would totally choose Gressgrønn 2134 as one of my colours probably paired with Olivengrønn 2118 and using Vilje and Rosa 2110 for my background colours.

Wallflower by Dee Hardwicke. This little handkerchief style scarf is simply knit so choose a beautiful yarn for it. One that is slightly variegated to add a bit of interest to the garter stitch. It also has to be soft and lovely. Can you guess I’m working towards Fyberpstates Vivacious 4ply. Who could resit the Burnished colour. The flower details are added on with duplicate stitch so I would be tempted to get a few different colours of the Gleem Lace Embroidery Thread to use, possibly held double so it matched the thickness of the Vivacious.

Garden Party by Dee Hardwicke. Another stunning colourwork motif utilising the same shape as the Walled Garden. A generous square wrap with a lovely repeating flower motif. In a similar style to the other the colours switch half way through which I think is a fun way of using just one skein of 4 different colours. Black Elephant Wensleydale would be a lovely choice for this.

January by Jonna Helin. This top down jumper is worked in the round with a v-neck yoke. Its simple shaping and relaxed fit is all about celebrating the yarn. It’s knit in a combination of a bouclé yarn and a mohair lace on fairly big needles. My initial thoughts is combining Woven Beyond Crimp with Black Elephant Suri Cloud. But I am also wondering if Pickles Teddy just on its own would work and also for a lighter version Hillesvåg Forgarn on its own?

Liberty by Jonna Helin. This jumper embraces the fluff on its own. Knit from the top down starting with a crew neck yoke. Featuring raglan increases that are then divided at the underarm to work the body and sleeves separately. What stands out for me with the garments in this book is the different fibre qualities that are embraced. By keeping the shapes relatively simple it allows us to indulge in some more unusual fibres. As this is knit all in a heavier fluff I would use two strands of Pickles Soft Fuzz held together. Doesn’t the colour Botanisk Hage look perfect for this.

Limonium Apricot by Dee Hardwicke. This large square wrap is another simple knit that is all about the embellishments. The base is a large square with a delicate row of eyelets around the perimeter. The flower details are lightly embroidered over the top with duplicate stitch. The base is created with a lace and a mohair together I would go for a solid colour as you want the embroidery to shine as much as possible. Something like a combination of Hélène Magnússon Gillitrutt held with a complimentary Fyberspates Cumulus. You would need five of the Gillitrutt and three of the Cumulus. You use one strand of the mohair to work the flowers and Cumulus would be a good option here as well.

Peony by Dee Hardwicke. Similarly this design also features a base of a yarn held with a mohair for a fun play on colour and texture. Creating a rectangular shaped wrap that is dotted with little intarsia squares. I’m being drawn to the idea of using Fyperspates Scrumptious for this because it is oh so soft. You could probably get away with knitting it just on its own and choosing a nice contrast for the intarsia but if you wanted to add some fluff what about Black Elephant Suri Cloud for some speckled details that I don’t think will drown out the contrast colour.

Pressings by Dee Hardwicke. This smaller square shawl is a fluff lovers dream, created with two strands for the base and then embroidered over with one. It is light and airy and a great use of little fluffy leftovers you might have. The background is created by holding two different colour strands together. I would go for Fyberspates Cumulus and you will need two balls of each colour. Five different contrast colours make up the duplicate stitch details and no more than 40m of any one colour is used.
