Fruit Garden CAL - Part Six
​

Happy New Year to you all! I hope that wherever you are you are keeping safe and well.

Despite the new lockdown we are thankful to still be able to work here at Janie Crow and Just Knots, but it is not quite business as usual as we are having to work in a shift pattern that ensures we are not all working from the studio at the same time. Whilst this means that we are still able to process and dispatch web orders it also means that I have been unable to do some of the usual things like film videos and work on new designs. This is a little frustrating for all of us, but we know we are incredibly lucky to still be working and I trust you will understand why some things have had to take a back seat. Hopefully normal service will resume within the next couple of weeks as we get into the swing of working in a slightly different way to the norm.

Before I introduce you to Part 6 of the Fruit Garden CAL 'Love is Enough' project I want to let you know that I have been invited to be one of 6 designers taking part in Waltham Abbey Wool Show's virtual event this weekend. Along with Debbie Bliss, Jeanette Sloan, Jo Smith, Natalie Warner and Sylvia Watts-Cherry I will be taking part in the 'Meet the Designer Q&A' session which will take place at 1pm this coming Sunday afternoon. There are still some tickets for this event, which I am sure will be great fun, and you can find more information by following this link.

So, as I said already, the sixth yarn substitution document for the Love is Enough version of the Fruit Garden Crochet Along project is now live on the Stylecraft web site.

​To work through the Dianthus motif and another part of the Acanthus motif you will need to download the original pattern for Part 6 and use the yarn sub document alongside this as a guide for which yarn shades to use. If you are joining in the CAL and using one of the 2 original colourways or your own colour palette then you will not need the yarn sub document.

I have not been able to record a short video to accompany the re-release of this set of patterns but I hope to film a catch up video for set 7 which will be available in a couple of weeks time. You can find a video to accompany the Dianthus and the next stage of the Acanthus motif in the original colour ways here.

If you want to make a cushion to accompany your project you can find the patterns as a free download or as a paper pattern by following this link. 

Don't forget that you can find help and join in some crochet orientated chat via the Stylecraft Yarns CAL Facebook page here.

Yarn substitution documents for the next part of the project will go live on the 26th January.

I hope to be back in your in box on Friday 22nd January with news of a new(ish) pattern release and our new style newsletter, so until then keep safe....
