The first issue's theme is gardens, places where we take a break from knitting, look out the window at the flowers, rest our eyes, and do some gardening. For people living in big cities with little greenery, gardens are precious places that give us peace of mind and allow us to feel the changing seasons. This collection of 12 knitwear designs, rich in detail and texture, was inspired by such gardens. These pieces make you want to knit for the coming spring, a pleasant change from the cold winter.
