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.
Finished blocked measurements - approximately 123cm (48 1/2in) x 123cm (48 1/2in)

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

Purl & Jane Piccadilly Tank Top
£4.50
Piccadilly Tank Top - Purl & Jane by Jane Ellison
This is inspired by classic cables yet, as I do with all my designs, I worked on several swatches to make this an easy to knit cable. One, where once you were familiar with the repeats, you may sit and relax with it knowing when to cable and when to do your knits and purls. I love to design cable patterns that all have the same row repeat in them. The same row repeat means you can get to know what row to cable as I try to make this happen on all the techniques at the same time.
The neck is square, so there isn’t any tricky working out of how to decrease over the cables, and it gives the tank top another classic touch.
I love a good cable and this was fun to knit! I hope you find it fun too.

Laine Publishing Worsted – A Knitwear Collection by Aimée Gille
£27.00
Worsted - A Knitwear Collection Curated by Aimée Gille of La Bien Aimée is a knitwear collection featuring 14 patterns by 10 incredible designers. The designers all have their unique style and speak to many kinds of knitters. Now they come together to form a beautifully cohesive collection. You can find garments such as sweaters and cardigans and accessories like shawls and hats, with techniques ranging from stripes and stranded colourwork to cables and textured stitch patterns.
Aimée Gille was born and raised in Kansas, the United States, and later moved to France, where her passion for knitting was reignited. In Paris, where she now lives with her family, she first opened L’OisiveThé, a wonderful knitting café, and later La Bien Aimée, a yarn company whose gorgeous hand-dyed yarns are sold worldwide.
With Worsted, Aimée wanted to create a tangible way to connect with people through knitting and bring joy. During the challenges of the last 18 months, Aimée found comfort in immersing herself in creating a new yarn base, Corrie Worsted, and inspired by it, all of the designs in the book are worked in worsted weight yarn.
In Aimée's own words: "I hope that you will welcome the adventure of casting on a new project from this book with perhaps some of that beloved yarn you have curated for your stash or why not go on a yarn escapade and mix Corrie Worsted with other yarns."
