For me, colour and texture rule and most of the inspiration feeding my imagination comes from the natural world. I see knitting as art, as viable as any other, and no matter what the tool or preferred palette, in human hands, magic happens. Jane Email: jane@janethornley.com

Saturday, February 27, 2010THE INSPIRED KNITTERS CLUB FOR MARCH: HOW TO KNIT A MYSTERY March's Issue of the Inspired Knitter's Club: How to Knit a Mystery Here's what the Inspired Knitters Club Members are saying: "The Inspired Knitter's club is worthy of its name. When I thought of how best to characterize my experience with it, the words 'sheer abundance' popped into my head. I also thought about the feeling of excitement I get when a new issue arrives - literally, my heart begins to beat faster. I am reveling in the ideas, inspiration, and encouragement I am getting for my current artistic journey with freeform crochet and knitting. The 'sheer abundance' of Jane's offerings clearly holds more treasures for my future work, which I expect to be finding when I reread each issue." Zann Carter, Indiana "Imagine someone whispering gently -encouragingly - in your ear: "you can do this . . . there are no limits . . . there are no rules . . . .". Imagine that wondrous Voice of Inspiration continuing: 'you are creative . . . you are boundless . . . . . . . .what you make will be beautiful, anyone who ever told you that you 'cannot do it' or that you were not talented was WRONG. . . Imagine yourself thrilled and proud of what you create . . . stimulated . . . . Well, then - you can imagine how wonderful it is to be one of Jane Thornley's Inspired Knitters!" Dawn Jeffory-Nelson in California "I feel like I have taken a journey with you everytime a new issue appears. The journey may inspire me to knit but most of all it inpires me to live…think…create…dream… I would love to meet you…we think a lot alike. Thanks for inviting me on this creative journey." Debbi Domby "Your Inspired Knitter's Club issues are a very special, beautiful, carefully composed, personal and personalized gift, like from a dear friend or treasured member of family. Thank you for sharing your inspiring ideas." Laura in France "You have definately started something that is far more exciting & inpirational. Knitting needs a new fashion focus & shouldn't just be about jumpers, cardigans etc. It should be a true art form. You are starting to create this I think. Brave." Deb in Australia "Just today in some interview questions, I mentioned you as my muse in the fiber world. Part of the inspiration I find everywhere, all around me comes from knowing you and keeping up with your immense creative juice via the Inspired Knitter's Club! Thanks so much for for creating this out of the box impetus for us all to let the imagination run wild and create work that is truly unique!" Faith in Taos, New Mexico "A quick note to thank you so much for your creativity, your inspiration, and your gentle nudges to leave behind the safety of the known. To be able to just trust your instincts and not worry about the rules should be the goal of every creative person! The Inspired Knitting Club is an amazing resource - filled with colorful photographs, wonderful "recipes" for knitting wearable art pieces, great yarn resources, and loaded with inspiration! We can all take flight, thanks to Jane's guidance!" Rosemary in Illinois "My subscription to The Inspired Knitting Club is a birthday present to myself, and I couldn't have made a better choice. Each issue seems to arrive right when I need that boost of inspiration. I look forward to Jane's exciting, unique patterns and fresh approach to time honored techniques. Her personal stories, encouragement and wisdom are a magnet for all creatives. Reading an issue is like having a one-on-one workshop with Jane, so personal and warm, one can't help but feel her close kindred spirit. Her photography is jaw-dropping, her energy contageous, and her enthusiastic support of knitters & creatives obvious. Thank you Jane for corageously blazing the trail!"
