The Fruit Garden CAL Is Out In The Wild

Janie's Quick Update
​

​
I hope this email finds you well and that you are looking forward to the weekend. 
 
Today is a REALLY exciting day for me as I can finally show you the images of my Fruit Garden Blanket. The design is based on the amazing embroideries of May Morris, a leading figure in the Arts and Crafts Movement.

The images were taken at Standen House, a National Trust property in Sussex, which was built in the Arts and Crafts Style and houses an incredible amount of amazing work, including examples of May's embroidery skills. I felt really lucky to be able to join the shoot and be surrounded by so many inspiring pieces.

I have been revealing parts of this design all week on my social media platforms and have spent this morning filming a short video that will be released soon with the aim of encouraging you all to take part in this project.

The patterns for the Fruit Garden CAL will be published in 8 fortnightly parts. They will be free to download and the first part will be released on the 28th April. The yarn shades and amounts needed for the project will be revealed soon and yarn packs will go on sale via bricks and mortar shops from the 16th March and on line on from the 30th.

The light yellow version uses Stylecraft Life DK and Batik - both of which are wool and acrylic yarns and the blue/grey version uses the new 'Naturals' Bamboo & Cotton yarn.

We are hoping that you will be able to pop into the studio on Wednesday 18th March to see the projects 'in the flesh' and pick up a yarn pack if you wish, so as promised, here is a link to the official invitation.

It's Nearly the Weekend
​

 
Next Friday I will be sharing my monthly bumper newsletter, which will feature more CAL related information and give you the heads up about workshops and events that will take place over the next few months. My first workshop of the year (other than the Knit For Peace trip to Mysore) takes place at the Woolly Away next weekend and I will be at Beautiful Knitters, here in London Town, on Saturday the 4th of April tutoring a crochet beading workshop.

It has been a busy week, so I am looking forward to the weekend as usual. We are heading out to celebrate my Mum's birthday on Sunday and have tickets to see The Lion King at the theatre on Saturday (a fabulous Christmas gift), so a lot to look forward to.

I am also hoping (as usual) that there will be plenty of opportunity for me to plonk myself on the settee with my crochet! I would love to hear what you all have planned....
