Jane Crowfoot Bohemian Blooms Crochet Blanket
£14.95
Bohemian Blooms - Jane Crowfoot
This blanket design was inspired by the work of Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant of The Bloomsbury Group and in particular their home 'Charleston Farmhouse' and the murals they painted at the nearby Berwick Village Church.
I had wanted to design a project using Charleston as my inspiration for many years, so I decided that this project should be a trade heirloom piece. I have used a collection of high end Rowan Yarns, including Soft Yak and Baby Merino Silk in DK weight yarns and have also chosen to use beads for an extra focal point.
The patterns for this project are available within a 96 page soft bound book 'Bohemian Blooms', which includes more detailed information about my design inspiration and step-by-step images for each of the crochet motifs.
A new take on the traditional CAL style project. Work through at your own speed and in your chosen order using Jane's beautiful colour pattern book to guide you every step of the way!

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.

Jane Crowfoot Summer Palace Wrap
£6.95
This wrap 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 and the wonderful colours within the range of Baa Ram Ewe's lovely new yarn Colourwork Pip reflects the elaborate carved and painted wooden pillars and painted friezes found within the building.
Finished blocked measurements - Approximately 40cm (15 3/4) wide x 170cm (67in) long.

Pompom Quarterly Issue 46
£17.50
Issue 46: Autumn 2023
Collaborating with creatives we admire is one of the great joys of making Pom Pom. Candice English of The Farmer’s Daughter Fibers has been an inspiration to us for a long time, both as a dyer and as an advocate for Indigenous women. We are thrilled to welcome Candice as Guest Editor for this issue.
Candice has brought a fresh perspective to these pages, along with her distinctive aesthetic, drawing from both her Indigenous roots and life in the American West. We are so grateful to her for sharing herself, her work, and her family with us. It’s an honour to be trusted with the stories and creativity of each contributor to this autumn issue.
The patterns in this issue are a representation of hard and soft duality in the American West. The hard work embedded in the people of Montana is a result of the softness you find in the spirit of Indigenous homelands. You will find classic designs that can be worn in utilitarian ways but also jazzed up a bit for social outings.
Featuring designs by: Allison Lutes, Esti Juango, Elena Solier Jansà, Natalie Bullock, Sandy Jones, Lindsey Fowler, Lena Zharichenko, Lee Ann Yazzie, Imke von Nathusius, Tin Can Knits

I love projects that use up left overs or small amounts of yarn and I really adore adding beads to crochet stitches,
so I am really excited that the pattern for the beaded pouches are now available for all you eager crocheters who

The pattern includes instructions for two versions, which I have called Cafe au Lait (the brown coffee one) and French Linen

have taken from the Fruit Garden Blanket project and revamped a little.

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.

Purl & Jane Betsy Jumper
£4.50
Betsy Jumper - Purl & Jane by Jane Ellison
This jumper is inspired by my love of vintage patterns. My favourite era is the 1930s and 1940s. I hope this jumper visually shows that influence but the written pattern isn’t inspired by that era! They were very vague and only had one size. I like writing simple easy to knit patterns that you can just relax with, this is true of this pattern. It doesn’t have any shaping to create the shape, it is the ribbing that shapes perfectly to your body. And it doesn’t have to be fitted, choose the right size and you can have a loose fitting one. My kind of knitting! The yarn and stitches do all the work while you sit back and relax with the knitting.
Another bonus with this pattern is that you can create a tank top or a jumper from it. To create the tank top, just don’t knit the sleeves. The nature of the stitch (love, love, love, stitches that do all the work!) means it doesn’t need any edging to be added to create the armhole. Super Duper!
