Fantastically geometric.

Those two words jumped out at me when I first looked at Boknits' patterns.

I'm sure you'll agree when you look at this list of lovelies:

Matrix Sweater (pictured) is a riot of interesting shape and shaping. Just read this quote, from the pattern page, "The drop-stitch darts form the shaping, in a unique new way. Even the sleeve decreases are somewhere else!"

How cool is that?

Vertical Ruffle Skirt is one of a few of Boknits' designs that play with this sort of amazing structural element.
See it appear as well on her Hello Sailor! sweater.

Mouse-stairs top uses another strict form, but in a different and more organic way. She refers to it as "a geometric waterfall of simple folds ". Beautifully put.

Go check out her other designs. It's so interesting and exciting to see a designer with a clear, attractive and uniform aesthetic!

Very cool designs- that Matrix sweater really reminds me of the movie. I love the vertical ruffles, I just find them hard to wear. They're pretty to look at though.
