Jane Crowfoot Delft Blanket
£8.95
The Delft crochet blanket was inspired by Jane's love of blue and cream pottery. She loves the way the octagon motifs create the idea of tessellating decorated plates.
I have always been a lover of blue and cream pottery. When I was a child we would often visit my elderly auntie for afternoon tea and so were used to seeing the ‘Willow Pattern’ on sandwich plates and teacups. The pattern featured an elaborate Chinoiserie design that was popular towards the end of the 18th Century. Despite having an oriental style of design, pottery featuring the Willow Pattern originally came from Stoke-on-Trent, but a lot of pottery featuring the design also came from China via the East India Company.
Finished blocked measurement: approximately 105cm (41 1/4in) x 160cm (63in)

Marie Wallin Wren
£6.00
Finch - Marie Wallin
‘WREN’ is one of two designs I have created using Baa Ram Ewe’s Titus yarn and is one of my first designs not using Rowan yarn! It has been such a pleasure designing with this lovely 4ply yarn as it is beautifully soft and a dream to knit with. This design is a fitted shape and will equally look good with a tweed skirt or a pair of jeans. It is a good first fairisle garment to knit if you are new to fairisle knitting as it is worked entirely in the round and therefore knitted constantly on the right side.

Meiju K-P's patterns are filled with elaborate lace, beautiful cables and carefully finished details - but at the same time they are fun to make. As a designer, Meiju likes to combine challenging techniques with a pleasant knitting experience. Meiju's debut book, Contrasts - Textured Knitting, contains 22 patterns, including pullovers, cardigans, scarves and hats in a soft, delicate and feminine style. They have been designed by Meiju to be functional and fit well. The pullovers and cardigans are mostly knitted from the top down, making their size easy to adjust.

Jane Crowfoot Summer Palace Blanket
£6.95
The blanket design was initially inspired by an image of a printed cushion cover I found in a magazine, but having visited the Tipu Sultan's summer palace near Mysore in India a few years ago I was inspired to look at the design again and link it into my Mysore collection.
I feel that the design reflects the wonderful carved and painted wooden pillars and painted friezes found within the building,
but the original version also retains it's slightly Scandinavian looking design, which I originally felt echoed traditional
fairisle design and would be the perfect cosy feeling winter blanket.
I revisited the design for the wrap version and felt that the wonderful colours within the range of Baa Ram Ewe's lovely yarn 'Pip Colourwork' reflected the elaborate carved and painted wooden pillars and painted friezes found within the building.
