Janie's Quick Update

I hope this email finds you well and that you are looking forward to the weekend....

This week has been all about preparation for Yarndale, which takes place this weekend. As I have said so many times, Yarndale is probably my favourite show, but with it comes a huge amount of preparation, so we have been getting all the goodies ready to take along with us!

If you are coming to the show please come and say Hello! We are in our usual position on stand 134. We will have lots of blankets, shawls and cushion covers on display and, as Janie Crow will be sharing a stand with Just Knots, we will also have patterns, yarn kits and knit and crochet accessories.

Climbing Rose CAL

Last week saw the release of the second motif from my Climbing Rose Wrap via Inside Crochet Magazine. This month's motif is called Anemone and the inspiration for it came from the kind of flowers that William Morris may have had in his own garden twinned with the styling of his famous fabric and wallpaper designs.

The project has been designed as a large comfy wrap, but because of it's size and weight you could also use it as a runner - I think it would sit beautifully on a bed or draped over a sofa.

The Climbing Rose CAL Facebook group now has over 1500 members and you can find it by following this link, or clicking on the banner above. All images are courtesy of Inside Crochet Magazine and Leanne Dixon.

If you are still looking for a yarn kit to accompany the project you will find them on Just Knots, Wool Warehouse and Black Sheep Wools.

Maker of the week

This week Helen Prentice sent me an image of her 'Primavera' version of my Frida's Flowers CAL project.

A while ago Helen and I had a discussion about how she might be able to hang her blanket up on her wall. Helen says:

'I remember talking to you at Bournemouth last year about mounting my crochet and I’m delighted to say I’ve finally managed it and am very pleased with the result and thought you might like to see it. Richard, my husband, put batons on the wall at the top and bottom. I mounted the crochet on a piece of material and have used Velcro to attach it.'

I think Helen has done an amazing job, so I asked her if she would be happy for me to include her in this week's newsletter.

This version of Frida's Flowers is available from Just Knots Yarns as a kit, although I think their stock holding is currently low, so it might be an idea to look again in a week or so. The colour way was chosen by Lucia Dunn, who also put the Eastern Jewels version of Persian Tiles together. The Primavera colour way is only available as a kit.

The weather forecast for this weekend up in Skipton is looking wet, so we have packed our rain gear for set up today. If you're coming to Yarndale, please drop by the stand. Sarah will be with us this weekend and I am really looking forward to spending some time with her alongside lots and lots of smashing show visitors and I will do my best to get some images onto Instagram over the weekend.

Whatever you are doing, I hope you have a smashing time.

Yarny love and crochet kisses...

Janie's Quick Update

I hope this email finds you well and that you are looking forward to the weekend....

It has been another speedy week here at Janie Crow especially as we had a very cheeky Monday away from the studio to travel back from our weekend trip up to see Andy's family in Cleethorpes. We had a really great weekend - the fish and chips totally lived up to expectations and the weather was surprisingly good. We managed to have some lovely walks on the sand dunes and some time playing on the beach. Of course we managed to squeeze in about a thousand ice creams and had great fun taking part in a family game of crazy golf on the seafront! Oh and doughnuts, there were lots of warm doughnuts........

So, it was back to reality with a thump on Tuesday when we returned to the studio. Thankfully the wonderful Sue had once again done an amazing job holding the fort at Janie Crow and Just Knots. She is a total star!

Climbing Rose CAL

Yesterday saw the release of the next motif from my Climbing Rose Wrap via Inside Crochet Magazine. This month's motif is called Anemone and the inspiration for it came from the kind of flowers that William Morris may have had in his own garden twinned with the styling of his famous fabric and wallpaper designs.

I am amazed at how quickly many of you are ploughing through the project and so grateful to all those of you who have been in contact to say how much you are enjoying it.

Don't forget that there is a dedicated Facebook Group for the Climbing Rose CAL. The group now has over 1500 members and was created by my fabulous friend and talented crocheter Sue Macdonald. You can find the group by following this link, or clicking on the banner above. All images are courtesy of Inside Crochet Magazine and Leanne Dixon.

If you are still looking for a yarn kit to accompany the project you will find them on Just Knots, Wool Warehouse and Black Sheep Wools.

Yarndale

This week we have submitted our yarn orders for kits to take to Yarndale next Friday. I cannot believe how fast the show is suddenly approaching and I am scared that it will be over within the blink of an eye - it is my favourite show, but it always comes and goes so quickly! We are planning to take lots of yarn kits and patterns, as well as hooks and needles, but if you are coming to the show and want to reserve anything in particular please let us know so that we can have it put to one side for you.

At the show I will be showcasing the new layout of my Bohemian Blooms Blanket, which I have named 'Bloomsbury Gardens'. There is another sneaky peek for you to see above. The yarn and bead pack for this project will retail at somewhere around £57, so it is easier to afford than the original version.

I will also be revealing another alternative colour way of the blanket, which is called 'Sussex Gardens' very soon. The colour way has been chosen by Emma May of Pippin Poppycock who has given me her permission to share the shades of Stylecraft Special DK she chose to substitute for the original yarns. The yarn substitution document for both new versions will be free downloads on my web site week beginning 30th September.

Aisling Beret - Free Pattern

My fellow Blogstar, Emma May, aka Pippin Poppycock, has designed a lovely slouchy crochet beret using Cosy Delights - a beautiful snuggly soft chunky weight yarn from Stylecraft.

The pattern uses just 1 ball of yarn and a 5.5mm hook.

Stylecraft have created a new Facebook group where you can find information and links to all the new Blogstar projects. The group is called Stylecraft Make Along Group and it is easy to join, so why not take a look?

World Record Attempt

Avid crocheter Natalie Morrison will be attempting to break the world record for continuous crochet in November.

Natalie is hoping to raise lots of money for her 3 chosen charities, including Knit For Peace and it would be fabulous if you could support her, either by donating or by supporting her at the event.

Natalie says:

'I’m trying to promote mental health, trying to get more people to speak out, and the benefits of craft as a coping strategy. In May next year, my local group Exmouth Crafty Crafters will be 5 years old. I founded this group after a bad mental health period, to make new friends and discuss and do craft. I now have 24 people who come regularly, every Tuesday evening fortnightly. I am also building a website that will be a reference for sufferers and those that want to understand more.'

You can find Natalie's Crowdfunding page here.

Maker of the week

I love this Delft style version of Persian Tiles that I came across this week. This huge blanket has been made by Jutta Heisalo, Koukkuunkoukussa on Instagram, using just 4 colours - 3 shades of blue and cream.

I think this blanket is absolutely stunning and shows how incredibly versatile the Persian Tiles pattern can be.

Tip of the week

I have featured the beaded crochet technique a few times within my newsletters over the last couple of years, but as there are a lot of new members on the mailing list I thought it might be good to feature it again, especially as beaded crochet is becoming more and more popular.

You can find a free technique download on the Janie Crow web site by following this link. There is also a free pattern for the beaded flowers shown above. We also have a Youtube video that shows how to add beads into 3 different stitches - double crochet (US -sc), treble crochet (US-tr) and half double crochet (US-htr).

Scheepjes have recently teamed up with Toho Beads to produce a fabulous range of size 8 knitting and crochet beads. You can find the range of beads here. The Debbie Abrahams range of knitting and crochet beads are also of top quality and come in a load of fabulous colours.

So that is it for this week - We are looking forward to a weekend at home and the weather appears to be doing us proud as we head into autumn with temperatures of up to 24 degrees predicted for tomorrow. Maybe we might manage a final barbecue of the year?

Whatever you are up to, I hope you are looking forward to a lovely relaxing weekend and that you are healthy and happy wherever you are....

Shine On Harvest Moon

13/9/2019

Janie's Friday Feature - September

Welcome to September's bumper newsletter - the Janie Crow equivalent of a Sunday supplement magazine....

It has been a bit of a strange week here at Janie Crow, with a few things throwing us a little off kilter, but on the whole it is good to be back in the studio after our recent holiday, especially as we have a lot to do in the lead up to our exciting autumn schedule...

Weather wise it has been a bit of an odd mixture here in the UK this week. On Monday it was cold to the point where I was desperate to turn the heating on and yet today it is warm again and, as I look out of the studio window, people are walking around in T shirts and shorts once again - let's hope that an Indian Summer is on the cards - I am definitely not ready to pack my summer clothes away just yet!

So here we are in September, the kids are back at school and the shops are full of uniforms, note books and stationary with the odd bit of Halloween related stuff thrown in for good measure. Sue, our trusty office supervisor, tells me that she has even seen Christmas cards in the supermarket, so there is no denying that we are heading into autumn, even if the weather is attempting to make us think otherwise.

As a lover of the sunshine and warm weather I always feel a bit sad to think of us heading away from the summer months, but from a business point of view the autumn and winter are the most exciting and the busiest for us and so I am looking forward rather than lamenting the past....

This newsletter is my monthly round up rather than a quick update and I have included some bits and bobs that I hope you will find interesting. If you have five minutes to spare, then grab a cuppa and find a cosy seat and catch up with all things Janie Crow....

What's New?

Do you already follow JANIE CROW on Facebook? If not, you can find the link to the page here. Gemma, the fabulous new addition to the team here at JC, has been busy curating some great posts, including a chance to share your project images with us on a Monday. Because of the way many social media platforms work these days, you might not always see our posts, even if you have previously clicked to follow us. If you have 'liked' the page in the past, but are not seeing our new posts, of which there are now 3 a week, please follow the link above to the page and click to like a few of the historical posts, hopefully that will mean we start to show up on your feed again....

If you are in London on the 25th September then it would be great to see you at Knit Night in London a fun event for knitters and crocheters organised by the fabulous team at Row House Yarns USA.

"We're coming back to London! Come join us for a Knit Night at the Thomas Cubitt gastropub near Victoria Station on September 25th from 6:30PM to 8:30PM.
All fiber artists are welcome, and we love beginner knitters! We'll have a knitting teacher available, and if you are a newbie, and need yarn and needles, please email us at info@rowhouseyarn.com to let us know. We'll have a few balls of yarn and needles available."
Get a ticket to reserve your spot now, as space is limited. Tickets are £20 and include drinks (beer and wine) and shared appetisers.

It has been a real treat watching your progress with the Climbing Rose CAL over the last few weeks. Many of you have been speeding through the Day Lily motifs and I have loved seeing your images of your crochet popping up on line.

It is hard to believe that the next set of patterns will be released next week! The first set of patterns asked you to make a lot of motifs, I think it was 16 main motifs and 16 half motifs, so there was a lot to do. If you are not quite finished working on these don't panic, the next set of patterns will ask you to make just 11 main motifs, so there is plenty of time to catch up!

Here are just a few of the images that have popped up on my social media feeds this week:

The CAL will be published in Inside Crochet Magazine through until November. You can find more information by following this link.

Don't forget that there is a new dedicated Facebook Group for the Climbing Rose CAL. The group has been created by my fabulous friend and talented crocheter Sue Macdonald and you can find it by following this link. All images are courtesy of Inside Crochet Magazine and Leanne Dixon.

If you are still looking for a yarn kit to accompany the project you will find them on Just Knots, Wool Warehouse and Black Sheep Wools.

'Bloomsbury Gardens', my new version of the Bohemian Blooms CAL style blanket that has been made using Stylecraft Life DK, Life Changes and Batik DK will be revealed at Yarndale in a little over two weeks time and the free downloadable yarn substitution document will be on the web site thereafter. We will also be revealing another version of the blanket called 'Sussex Gardens' that has been made using Stylecraft Special DK by Blogstar Pippin Poppycock. Below and above are a couple of teaser images and I am looking forward to showing you more very soon.....

Just Knots and Janie Crow have taken a stand at this year's Knitting & Stitching Show at Alexandra Palace here in North London. We will be on stand TGQ5 in the Textile Gallery. The show runs from Thursday 10th October through to Sunday 13th. You can find information about the show by following this link.
This year the show has a really big workshop and demonstration schedule and you can find more information by following this link. You can find a full schedule of the workshops here.

My great friend and fabulous crochet designer Jo Smith will be teaching a Learn To Crochet workshop on Thursday 10th October. This is currently sold out, but you can join a waiting list. Jo will also be teaching Tapestry Crochet on Friday 11th at 3pm and how to 'Crochet a Mandala' on Saturday at 10am.

On the Thursday at 3pm the very talented Luise Roberts will be showing how to make lovely knitted beaded button covers (as in the image above). Luise is a very patient and talented tutor - she is also my fabulous Graphic Designer and the brain child behind lots of the things that go on here at Janie Crow. Luise will also be showing how to knit a Fairisle Egg Cosy on Saturday at 11.45 and how to work cross stitch and beading onto a crochet fabric on the same day at 3.30pm - this looks like a really fabulous workshop judging by Luise's example image above.

Crochet tutor Diana Bensted is also doing a range of workshops at the show, including 'Crochet Mini Monsters' on Thursday 10th at 3.30pm and Broomstick Lace Crochet on Friday 11th at 10am. If you are an early riser then you can join Diana at 8.30am on Saturday 12th to learn how to make Tunisian Finger Mitts and Diana will be rounding off her classes with how to make a 'Tunisian Crochet Coaster' on Sunday at 10am.

BIPOC in Fiber

BIPOC in Fiber is the new name for what began as the POC Designers & Crafters List started in 2018 by Jeanette Sloan. Originally posted on Jeanette’s blog, the list quickly proved both popular and useful. Highlighting the many people of colour who work with fibre, the list reveals an urgent community-wide demand to see and support those talents. This very real demand doesn’t just come from other POC, or just from knitters, but from people of all ethnicity and a wide variety of crafting disciplines. This has led to a change of name and given the project a clearer sense of purpose.

BIPOC in Fiber is creating an interactive directory and resource portal highlighting the work of Black, Indigenous and People of Colour working in the fiber community across any discipline; from knit, crochet and weaving, to yarn bloggers, indie dyers, writers, tech editors and everything in between.

This week has seen the launch of a Crowdfunder page with the aim of raising money to support this fabulous project. Here at Janie Crow (and Just Knots) we are proud to support this fabulous initiative and I hope that you will visit the page, read all the info and support the project too. The link is here.
The introduction to the campaign, which aims to raise £20,000 to support the vital and exciting work is as follows.....

'Since January 2019 there's been a vital conversation on social media about racism, representation, inclusion and diversity within the online crafting community.

The urgent need for change has been revealed through this discussion - change that must be led by BIPOC makers.

BIPOC in Fiber is a website and resource portal. It's mission is to amplify and celebrate the work of Black, Indigenous and People of Colour working in the fibre industry.'

Note from Jane: For some reason my version of Mailchimp (the host we use for newsletters) does not do autocorrect on my spelling and I know that checking through my words is not my strongest talent! I also know that quite a few of you love to tell me when I have spelt things wrong and so I thought I should point out that I have used the words fiber and fibre in this piece on purpose and not because I have left my spelling unchecked!

Fibre is the UK spelling and Fiber is the US spelling.
Jeanette and her team have chosen to use the US version within their name and logo.

Discovery of the Month

When I first started this feature I thought it would be easy to recommend things that I have found over the last month that might cut down on the amount of plastic, general waste or pollution we are all causing, but one of the decisions I made a few months ago was to stop on line shopping binging. I have stopped following links to web stores on social media platforms and have not been aimlessly wandering around shops and so, as a result, I have not come across many 'eco' things that have appealed to me other than 'homey' things like shampoo, soaps and cleaning agents, which I am sure you have already made your own decisions about anyway. I do, however, have a few things to say about getting ready for the autumn that might sit well within this feature....

As it has got colder here over the last week or so we have been resisting popping the heating on at home and at the studio. Our daughter Summer is becoming a bit of an eco warrior and she keeps telling us to put on another jumper or to add a pair of thicker socks if our toes are chilly, rather than putting the heating on. It makes me laugh because I have spent the last 20 years saying the same things to her! I am so glad that she finally gets it.....

So, my first recommendation as we head into the colder months is to get yourself some woolly socks if you haven't done so already - we love the range by West Yorkshire Spinners and will be getting some in the store in the lead up to Christmas. Wool is far warmer than synthetic fibre, so if you are looking for socks or slippers, make sure you keep this in mind. I find pure wool socks a little scratchy so I wear a pair of cotton socks inside them when I am padding around the house.....

Another recommendation is that you actually make use of some of your lovely crochet blankets and have them at the ready in the living room for when you want to snuggle up a little cosier. It sounds like an obvious recommendation, but until recently I used to think of my blankets as being for show rather than for use, but now we have them sat ready on the settee for when its a tad chilly.

We live in a small semi detached 1930s bungalow. We added an extension to the back of the building about 8 years ago and so the new parts of the house are insulated and warm, however the original bedrooms to the front and side tend to be really cold in the winter despite the fact that we had new radiators installed.

It worried me that not only did the bedrooms feel cold, but that they were tending to feel a bit damp too, so I thought we needed to add more heating to the house. Last winter, on the advice of my cousin, we opted to invest in an electric dehumidifier instead of a heater and I have to say the results were amazing! Despite being electric and constantly switched to the 'on' setting, the dehumidifier we bought automatically switches itself on and off when it detects the humidity levels need adjusting.

Dehumidifiers are proven to boost the effect of your heating system as the air becomes drier and therefore warmer. Our energy bills last winter were reduced compared to the year before - the house felt warmer and it was bliss to get into bed unworried about whether or not the bedding felt a little damp.

And while we are talking about beds, another recommendation I have is in regards to duvets and toppers. Check out Baavet on Facebook, they make fabulous bedding from wool that will keep you cool in the summer and really cosy in the winter.

Finally - we have seen a lot of chat lately about micro fibres - a bi-product of washing our clothes that end up in our water supplies and in the sea, this having an impact on marine life and so we decided that we would test out a few of the things that you can buy that say they help cut down on fibres in the washing system.

We bought a Coraball. We even considered stocking them, but as it turns out I am glad we decided to give it a test run before we invested in a load of them as, in the 2 months that we have been using it, I have found no evidence of the 'build up of fibre fluff' that the manufacturers say we should have seen and I kind of wish I had read this review first.

If you have found any washing related items that do appear to work, or if you have a different experience of the Coraball to us, then I would be really interested to hear from you. So far our Coraball has only managed to snag a load of bra straps and get tangled up in a duvet cover, so I am not a fan! I am sure the amount of plastic it is made from could have been put to a better use too!!!

Colour Palette of the Month

I have been looking at the interior and fashion trends for the autumn over the last couple of weeks and have to say I am really in love with the colour palettes I keep coming across.

I had my 'colours' done about 15 years ago and came out as 'winter', so pinks, mole browns and icy shades are good colours for me to wear - looking at the trends I am happy to see many of these included this year.

The images of the palettes I have featured this month are from Sarah Renae Clarks and I think her capsule palette, shown above, could be a really handy tool when choosing yarn shades. I am smitten by Fruit Dove, Biking Red and Galaxy Blue!! Dark Cheddar is just making me hungry!

Maker/Instagram of the Month

We featured my Mystical Lanterns pattern on Facebook this week and asked followers to post images of their own projects. It was so nice to see so many lovely versions pop up on the feed and it led me to discover Tominashandknits on Instagram, who appears to have made the Mystical Lanterns shawl many times in lots of different fabulous colour combos, so I thought I would share a few with you thin week. All of the images below are from her feed.

You can find the patterns for the blanket, shawl and scarf by following the links.

It's nearly the weekend!

We are hoping to head up the motorway to Cleethorpes later on today to spend a bit of time with members of Andy's extended family. Andy's Grandfather was born in Grimsby and so we try to get at least a weekend away up there most years. When the kids were little it was a real treat to spend a week in a caravan taking walks on the long sandy beaches and visiting some of the attractions that the Humberside area has to offer.

I know Cleethorpes doesn't sound like everyone's ideal location for a holiday, but I have always loved the 'kiss me quick' seafront of amusement arcades, deep fried doughnuts and of course, the very best fish and chips in the whole wide world, so I am really looking forward to jumping in the car and heading off for a few days....

As I said at the beginning of this email it has been a bit of a strange week for us here at Janie Crow and I have just realised that it is Friday the 13th and I heard on the news this morning that there is going to be a rare Harvest Moon tonight too, so perhaps this explains why things have taken a bit of an odd turn!

Anyway, I hope that things are good where you are and that you are looking forward to a lovely weekend, whatever you have planned. As always if you want to get in touch please hit reply...

Yarny love and crochet kisses...

September And Back To Reality

6/9/2019

Janie's Quick Update

I hope this email finds you well and that you are looking forward to the weekend....

We have been away on a family holiday, which is why there was no newsletter last week, but we are now back and well rested, ready to launch ourselves into all that the autumn season has to offer....

It has been great seeing all the images of the Day Lily motif from my Climbing Rose Wrap popping up on social media over the last couple of weeks. I am amazed at how quickly many of you are ploughing through the project and so grateful to all those of you who have been in contact to say how much you are enjoying it. The first set of patterns for this brand new CAL project featured in Inside Crochet Magazine issue 117, which was available to purchase two weeks ago. The next copy of the magazine will be available in a couple of week's time and will feature the pattern for another floral motif.

Don't forget that there is a new dedicated Facebook Group for the Climbing Rose CAL. The group has been created by my fabulous friend and talented crocheter Sue Macdonald and you can find it by following this link, or clicking on the banner above. All images are courtesy of Inside Crochet Magazine and Leanne Dixon.

If you are still looking for a yarn kit to accompany the project you will find them on Just Knots, Wool Warehouse, Deramores and Black Sheep Wools.

It is hard to believe that one of our favourite shows Yarndale is now just 3 weeks away. I have been keeping a track of the weekly countdown on the show's Instagram feed and am now excited by the prospect of getting stuck into the show preparations. I love Yarndale and adore the fact that a cattle market is transformed into a yarny heaven for a couple of days every autumn! We will have some new things on display, including a new version of my Bohemian Blooms design, which has been made using a collection of Stylecraft Yarns and we will also have all the new versions of the Delft Blanket on show.

We have also taken a stand at this year's Knitting and Stitching Show at Alexandra Palace. The show takes place in North London between the 10th and 13th October and is one of the biggest textile fairs in the UK so we are really looking forward to exhibiting here again.

My 'Maker of the Week' goes to Taina Tellervo who has posted some lovely images of her versions of my Frida's Flowers Blanket on her Instagram feed. I really love both these colourful versions of the blanket and I really enjoy seeing other people's ideas for colour palettes. I think Taina's grey, yellow and pink colour combo is particularly beautiful.

The four months we now have left in the lead up to 2020 are bound to speed by, especially with the Knit For Peace workshop trip to Mysore creeping up on me in January, but I am looking forward to sharing some exciting new things with you over the next few months including some reworked versions of existing designs and some new accessories that will go in my shop. Towards the end of the year I am hoping that I will have news of a brand new JANIE CROW venture, so I hope you will all continue to check in with me on a Friday afternoon.....

We are looking forward to a weekend at home. After 10 days away it will most likely involve lots of washing and sorting out before we head back into the studio on Monday. Of course it is a lovely treat to have a family holiday, but I have to admit I always enjoy going back to the studio and returning to the routine at Janie Crow once all the sun hats and swimming costumes have been put away for another year.

As always, I hope you are looking forward to a lovely relaxing weekend and that you are healthy and happy wherever you are....
