TEXTURIZE YOUR WINTER

Bark and lichen do the linen stitch

I admit to having gone into a texture spin while working on the Winter Forest Guide. Blame the linen stitch. Once I started playing with hand-dyed yarns mixed with textury handspun wonders with this venerable old stitch, it became impossible to stop. First came the cowlette, shown above with it's new best friend, the tree beside the river, and then came the Woven Woods Vest.

The Woven Woods Vest, cowlet and Thousand Branches Kimono are now available for sale here: http://www.janethornley.com/patterns_booklets.html#4. Alternatively, you can receive it plus one other of my guides along with your Inspired Knitting Club membership. Click the Inspired Knitting Club button for details.
