Happy New Year 23

I hope that you have enjoyed a fabulous Festive Season and that you are safe, happy and healthy as we take our first few steps into 2023. I am just popping into to wish you a very Happy New Year and to thank you for all your incredible support over the last 12 months. 

2022 was an amazing year for us. It was a year full of changes as we got used to working from home and getting back out in the world after the pandemic. We have also been part of lots of exciting projects and events and I am very proud of the crochet designs I have created over the course of the year too. Our social media presence has really grown, with our followers on Instagram almost doubling and our YouTube Channel and Facebook page reaching more accounts than ever before. 

As we head into 2023 we have a lot to look forward to with the first patterns for my Spirit of Flora CAL being the very first event in our new calendar, closely followed by our workshop in Mysore, India, in less than two weeks time. I am very excited about what the new year has in store and hope that you will feel inspired to join in with crochet projects or come along and say hello at shows and events over the forthcoming months.

Janie Crow wouldn't be where it is today without the support of wonderful people like you and the incredible crafting community that we are all a part of. I hope that our solidarity in an ever changing world and our allegiance to the joys of our craft will continue into 2023 and that the New Year will bring us all feelings of mindfulness, relaxation and accomplishment, which in turn will lead to creative fulfilment and a sense of inner peace and positivity.

Happy New Year! ​

We are so excited that today sees the retail launch of the Emma Ball & Janie Crow Collection. We have had such an amazing response to the collection already and cannot wait to share more items from it over the next few months.

Some stock items are now live on the website ready for you to take a look. We have stitch markers, note pads and small note-lets as well as the tin items for you to choose from. More items from the collection, such as tote bags, project pouches and mugs, will come into stock in the early spring.

You can check out our YouTube video where Emma and I talk about the collection here and I have also posted our live chat from a few weeks ago on our Instagram Feed. ​

The Getting Started information and the first 2 patterns for my Spirit of Flora Crochet Along project will be published in Inside Crochet Magazine on January 5th. You can find more information by following this link.
