The Crochet Project The Shawl Project Book Two

£12.00

The Shawl Project Book Two - The Crochet Project A collection of five crochet shawls using Fingering/4ply and Sport/5ply yarns. At The Crochet Project we love a good shawl, and we know you do too so we are back with another collection. Shawls seem to be the perfect project for so many reasons: a mini palette for a new or favourite technique, the perfect showcase some gorgeous yarn, no need to worry about fit, relatively economical to make, and easy to wear. Book Two shawls are a little bigger, a little more solid so a little warmer than Book One shawls. Never fear, we have made them still with the same sense of proportion, beautiful drape and ease of wear you would expect from us. With two skeins to play with on each shawl we explore colour and texture, with more techniques and shapes. In this book we share our love of shawls and show you the secrets of shaping them, tips for incorporating stitch patterns and a beautiful pattern demonstrating each shape. All the examples use two 100g skeins of 4ply yarn, making these patterns the perfect stash buster or excuse to buy a special skein or two. Raid your stash and get pairing! Whether you'd like to learn to design your own crochet shawls or just understand a little more about what makes them so special, this is the book for you.

Kate Davies Davaar

£22.00

Looking out beyond the lighthouse, there is once again that restless end-of-summer feeling: to knit a sweater, to tell a story, to turn your face to the sun as you prepare for darker nights and colder days … A collection of 10 designs, inspired by a beautiful tidal landscape Essays and photography, celebrating the island and its story Like many other artists, makers and writers, Kate Davies and Tom Barr have been inspired by Davaar, the spectacular tidal island whose rocky silhouette defines the Campbeltown coastline. Kate began by creating a new collection of garments and accessories and, alongside this balanced and varied range of Scottish knitwear, Kate and Tom tell the story of Davaar in words and pictures exploring the shifting relationship of land and water, the island’s distinctive and immediately recognisable built structures, its interesting wartime experience, and the controversial painting and preservation of what is now its most famous feature. With Tom’s beautiful photography celebrating the landscape of south Kintyre, this is a book to be inspired by, and to think with, as well as to knit from. It’s time to cast on, and to set forth for Davaar…

Kate Davies Argyll’s Secret Coast

£24.00

Join Kate, Tom and friends on a journey through a beautiful corner of Argyll. Through words and pictures, knitting and writing, history and photography, this book explores the beautiful and intriguing landscape of Cowal, also known as Argyll's Secret Coast. Geographically proximate to lowland Scotland but topographically distinct; separated from the Highlands by land, yet united to the whole of Argyll by water; Cowal's is a landscape of hidden places, surprising tales, and many secrets. This book celebrates the Secret Coast, but while doing so it also asks a series of larger questions about what it means to make -and make-up- the story of a place. How do we read the traces of the past in the spaces of the present? What do we see when we look at Cowal's marginal and coastal landscapes? Which local tales are best remembered, and which narratives really deserve commemoration? The book includes 12 brand-new designs by Kate, beautiful photography by Tom, and a series of thought-provoking essays exploring the history, landscape and built heritage of the Secret Coast from writers Alex Hale, Michael Hartley, Jamie Stewart Jones, Gilbert Márkus and Stephen Mullen.

Kate Davies Margery Allingham’s Mysterious Knits

£25.00

What happens when you bring literary plot and pattern design together? Margery Allingham was one of the undoubted queens of British detective fiction’s Golden Age, and this bringing together of novel-inspired handknits with critical, contextual essays offers an in-the-round celebration of her work. Kate Davies’ collection speaks to the detective author’s inventive spirit: a single, unbroken strand of yarn transforms itself into a three-dimensional slipper; hats and pullovers are knitted from side to side, while a triangular shawl up-ends itself to eventually become a cardigan. The techniques are all contemporary, but there’s a nod to classic twentieth-century knitting style as well: narrow garter-stitch stripes meet modern short row shaping, while slipped stitches and Art Deco chevrons are incorporated into light knits that will work in many wardrobes. Alongside this most mysterious collection, literary contributors explore themes that illuminate Margery Allingham’s creative world: from the relationship between patterns and plotting, to the fashion, film and popular culture of the 1930s and 1940s; from the wide ranging role played by knitting and knitters in detective fiction, to the distinctive Essex landscape that inspired Margery Allingham throughout her life. Chock full of revelations, plot twists, and (of course) the occasional red herring, this highly original exploration of one of detective fiction’s most ingenious authors is sure to surprise and delight. Contributors: Tom Barr, Caroline Crampton, Kate Davies, Veronica Horwell, Julia Jones, Sarah Mackay, Imogen Robertson.

The Shawl Project Book Five - The Crochet Project A collection of five crochet shawls using laceweight yarns. At The Crochet Project we love a good shawl, and we know you do too so we are back with another collection. All the previous books in the collection featured designs for 4ply/fingering weight yarn. This one is a bit different: each pattern uses laceweight yarn. I used to be slightly afraid of finer yarn, I found it fiddly and thought it took too long to work up. But as I started to play around with it, I created patterns that are naturally quick to grow and where the need to find tiny spaces to put your hook are minimised. Now I love laceweight: it gives a finesse to every pattern you create with it and the delicate stitches can add a layer of magic to even the most ordinary stitches. The shawls themselves are light as a feather and so small to pack into a bag. As for the extra time? Just see it as better value for money on your hobby! The ultimate in slow fashion. Find the joy of laceweight for yourself with this selection of five patterns. This pattern is charted and written using standard UK crochet terminology (with US conversions given in the abbreviations).

Knits About Winter by Emily Foden Knits About Winter celebrates the quiet magic of a snowy landscape, the meditative joy of creating cosy knits, and the beauty of unique yarn. A collection of 12 knitting patterns by Emily Foden, these designs capture the magic and mystery of winter, all featuring her distinctive hand-dyed yarns. Emily moved to the small hamlet of Mooresburg, Canada, to set up her home and dye studio in a 100 year-old general store. In her remote location, winter meant layers of snow and ice, transforming the wild landscape into a sparkling blank canvas that became a valuable source of inspiration. Each pattern draws details from this wintry landscape: soft shapes in the snow, the moon in an icy midnight sky, the delicate evergreen berries. With careful consideration of practical design details that make these knits functional for the coldest of days, Knits About Winter features hats, mittens, socks, shawls, and four garments. Also included are Emily’s charming stories of setting up her dye studio, as well as how she developed her colourways and the designs for the book. Photographed by the author during a snowy Mooresburg winter, each image is a peek into the sceney and spaces that were integral to the book. Knits About Winter is book to a treasure, and in the colder months will encourage you find the beauty and colour in the darkest season, evoking the warm glow that only beautiful knits can.

There's Nicki, the author, Andy the Alien, who came to Earth in search of cheese, and Boris the Baby with his political ambitions. You could also pay a visit to Mr and Mrs Bertie Buff-Orpington, the dancing chickens, and spend some time with their constantly growing brood. Down on the farm you will find a whole bunch of mischievous animals, like Ned the Goat, who thinks he's a chicken, and Pickle the Puppy, who is training to be in the Olympics. Say hello to Camilla the Pretty Pony and she may even take you out for a ride through the fields. If you're looking for some more exotic animals there are plenty here too, like Squiddly Dudley, the octopus who decided to join the Navy, or catch the Fish Brothers before they head off on their world tour. There are even some special toys for Christmas, including Sparkles the crooning Snowman and Ralph the Red Nose Reindeer. All the patterns are so simple and easy to follow, all you need is a hook and a few basic stitches and you'll have crocheted your own cute friends in no time.

Pompom Quarterly Issue 47

£17.50

Issue 47: Winter 2023 Pom Pom Quarterly has always celebrated the vibrancy of colours in knit and crochet designs. However, in their latest issue, they decided to explore a monochrome theme and experiment with fabrics that use subtle tonal differences within a single hue or closely related hues. In this winter issue, the designers played with depth, saturation, and brightness to achieve maximum impact with minimum contrast. The result is a collection of stunning pieces that showcase the beauty of understated tonality. Featuring designs by Sara Ottosson, Rebecca Clow, Alessandra Gropazzi, Alexandra Liang, Tetyana Vyazovska, Marie Régnier, Fiona Alice, Catie Robbins, Jesu Camus, Allison Lutes.

Pompom Quarterly Issue 40

£12.50

Issue 40: Spring 2022 For our 40th issue we've concocted a knitted dreamworld! Allow our latest collection to transport you to your yarn-filled happy place with joy-bringing patterns which are whimsical without compromising elegance or wearability. The designs reference the seemingly unstructured nature of dreams through floaty fabrics and ethereal embellishments, loose gauge, and by gently emboldening the maker to use their intuition when it comes to playing with colour. As with anything that appears effortless, copious amounts of imagination and clever thinking form the foundation of these designs and they encourage the kind of creative escapism we cherish in crafting. The patterns in this collection vary in intensity; from ones which will allow you to realise your knitting fantasies to others you could finish with your eyes closed. But rest assured, each one will grant you gratification in a different way. Featuring designs by: Aimee Sher, Allison Lutes, Edda Lilja Guðmundsdóttir, Hanna Lübben, Julie Dubreux, Marie Régnier, Marzena Kolaczek, Pope Vergara, Reed Keyes. In addition to the 10 knitting patterns, our spring 2022 collection contains an article, 'Making a World' by lilith green, in which lilith talks about her experience of autism and how the act of making provides a haven from a world which prioritises neurotypical people. If your goal is to try your hand at a craft other than knitting, learn how to make decorative Polish pajaki with Karolina Merska, or use Stephanie Ganz's recipe to bake Honeysuckle Cream Puffs, divine!

Knit them small and wear them as a cowl. Keep going to make a scarf. Do a bit more, and you've got a shawl.

Use your favourite yarn, and knit at whatever gauge gives you the fabric you like best. You're in charge, you can't mess it up, and you're going to love the result! One small note, the structure of these pieces lends itself much better to charted instructions than to written out instructions. So please be aware that all the patterns use charts. If you're new to charts, never fear. There is a lovely introduction to using charts at the front of the book. Read through it, and you'll be ready to go in no time!

Pompom Quarterly Issue 19

£9.50

Issue 19: Winter 2016 With the arrival of winter comes the opportunity to revel in our favourite woolly pasttime as we move towards colder months. While the light and seasons change we can look back at the year so far and take stock of what we've made and learned. The inspiration for our Winter 2016 issue is 'reflections', interpreted in many ways by our contributors in articles, cocktail recipes, and a beautiful set of illustrations. This theme has also been translated into stunning knits by our designers; abstract forms of shadows, or refracted light on water became the inspiration for the playful symmetry and elegant geometry of these eleven designs. Featuring designs by: Julia Farwell-Clay, Justyna Lorkowska, Clare Lakewood, Kiyomi Burgin, Sachiko Burgin, Francesca Hughs, Solène Le Roux, Georgia Farrell, Linda Dubec, Tatyana Scotce, and Sarah Shepherd.
