Making Holiday Plans

Janie's Quick Hello!
​

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

Can you believe that it is Friday again? The weeks are speeding by and I feel like everything needs to slow down a little to give me a chance to enjoy these summery days. I hope that wherever you are you are enjoying some sunshine too...

I had a great time chatting to Andrea and Andrew of Fruity Knitting last Saturday - if you are one of their Patreons you will be sent a link to an audio edition of our hour long chat where we talked about how to add simple crochet edgings to knitwear, how to read charts and where I find my design inspiration. You can find a link to the Patreon site here if you want to unlock past audio files.

We are really looking forward to the weekend, but also to next week when we will be taking a short break with the kids. I love travelling and enjoy planning trips, although I have made the decision to do fewer workshops away from home next year. The 2 trips I am committed to are the Knit For Peace trip to Mysore, which I talked about last week and an Arena Travel Stitchtopia trip to Iceland that will take place in June. The trip is not yet live on the Arena site, but you can register your interest by contacting them - a link to their web page is here.

Places on the knitting and crochet trip to Mysore in January continue to book fast. You can make an enquiry by contacting Knit For Peace.

If you fancy a short knitting related break this year then it would be lovely to have you join me at one or both of my workshops at Missenden Abbey as part of their Summer School in August. I will be tutoring a colour workshop and one on finishing techniques and you can find more information by following this link.

I have been telling you over the last few weeks about the CAL I have designed for Inside Crochet magazine. Next week's newsletter will feature a sneaky peek image of the project and links to the 3 Janie Crow flagship stores who will have yarn packs in stock. Packs will go on sale on the 15th July. The project will be revealed in the July issue of Inside Crochet magazine, which goes on sale week beginning 22nd July. If you want to subscribe to the magazine (a bargain at just £5.99 a copy) you can find more info by following this link to their web site.

I love getting images of your completed projects and especially liked the one I received from Toni Newnman this week. Toni's image is above and it shows a Kingsize version of my Persian Tiles design in the light blue colour way. You can find yarn packs (for a smaller size) on the Just Knots web site and via other stockists.

We have a relatively quiet weekend to look forward to. It is the Village Festival though and we will probably head down there on Sunday. Fingers crossed it stays sunny so that we can enjoy a few glasses of wine in the park!

As always, if you want to get in touch please hit reply and tell me what is on your mind. I hope you have a lovely weekend wherever you are....
