Learn to Knit Online Course
Seems 2022 will be another year of firsts, and this first for me will be taking one of my classes and putting it online! I have been teaching workshops for over 20 years, and even today I’ve helped out knitters one to one over the phone or in the studio.
What a difference a year makes!
And Wow, what a year to 18 month it has been!! Unprecedenated is one word for it! During lockdown I started doing Instagram Lives. These were started to cheer everyone up and sharing the joy of gorgeous yarns and knitting and I planned just to do them during those lockdowns.
Introducing the Vesey Hat
The Vesey Hat only uses 35g of sock weight yarn so is perfect for any yarn leftover after knitting a few socks!
Lovely Knitter
This lovely knitter just popped in wearing her Purl &Jane Ravenscar Jumper. She knitted it with WYS Croft Shetland Aran.
Sock Sizing or Hand knits are always individual
This week’s brand new pattern (EDIT: First published 3rd July 2017), Baby’s First Socks, has two sizes and the first size I recommend is for babies that are 0-3 months old.
We need to talk about double pointed needles
Introducing this week’s brand new and exclusive Purl&Jane pattern: Baby’s First Socks (EDIT: First published on the 30th June 2017)
Introducing… Ada the Sleeveless Top
This week’s pattern is perfect for the heatwave we’ve had in the UK (22nd June 2017). It’s a sleeveless top with a simple lace pattern at the bottom, which means you can feel a lovely cooling breeze over your lower torso.
The Simple Granny Square
My new pattern (EDIT: First published on the 15th June 2017), the Carrick Crochet Cowl, is made up of granny squares and while I was working on the cowl it made me think about crocheting and the granny square itself.
Introducing Tory the Cowl
I love designing. I love knitting. It’s something that soothes me. It lovely to feel gorgeous yarns gently flowing through my fingers as I slowly make simple stitches.
