Inspiration

I love to visit gardens and whenever I travel, I’ll look for a special garden to visit. One of my favourite gardens is the Butchart Garden on Vancouver Island, and any chance I get I will visit! The Rose Garden there is wonderful, with trellises of climbing roses leading to swooping circular beds of all the rose varieties one could imagine. This shawl with its curving shape asymmetric bias shape and rose motifs worked in mosaic and twisted stitches will take you away to a rose garden of your very own!
