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. I asked David to join […]

The Vesey Hat only uses 35g of sock weight yarn so is perfect for any yarn leftover after knitting a few socks!

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. 

Introducing this week’s brand new and exclusive Purl&Jane pattern: Baby’s First Socks (EDIT: First published on the 30th June 2017)

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.

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.

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.

I have created this new garter stitch cardigan pattern (EDIT: First Published on 19th May 2017) after having lots of requests from the lovely knitters that visit the studio.

The design this week is for a Simple Baby Blanket, but if there isn’t a baby on the horizon in your life I have two alternative patterns for you – the Chusi Cushion Blanket and the Simple Superchunky Cushion which I have refreshed with new yarn and new ideas!

I use my Chusi Cushion pattern to relax with. And when I first started it I was going to make a cushion with my squares. I sat down with one ball in three shades and cast on.
