From the pattern
Kristin Nicholas used unexpected colors and freeform embroidery in organic shapes to create a whimsical gardenlike “picture” on this simple little girl’s sweater. Kristin was thinking of the embroidery traditions of India when she created this sweater, and in a subtle way it seems connected to Mary Lennox, the orphan in the childhood classic The Secret Garden (when her parents die, Mary is removed from her home in exotic India to the cold moors of England, then renews her spirit by brining a long-forgotten garden back to life).
