THE JANE IN SPAIN STAYS MAINLY IN…

Don't forget to sign up for my newsletter!

Just because I'm away doesn't mean I won't be checking my comments as often as I can. Any place there's a wireless, my little handheld birthday gizmo can keep me connected. And, did I desert you as I went off a-rambling? No way. Okay, so Jane's in Spain, and, if the spewing of that little verse from My Fair Lady didn't do it, the following date on this next notebook will surely require carbon dating. Here's some images from my earliest designs taken from a notebook so tea-stained and moldy looking, it could well be an artifact.

I know I finished 'The Apple', based on a William Morris design, I just don't know when or who I gave this one to. I always gave my knitwear away back then.

I never did start this one but I thought about it which I hope counts for something. Somewhere in the midst of all this Rowan-induced, Fasset-inspired intarsia lust, I developed an allergy to wool that I could no longer suppress. Too bad, so sad. The whole experience left me itching to move onto speciality fibers.

Yes, it does say finished in 1995. 1995!

From the entry 'Wild, Mysterious Australia'. Jane, it's lovely to hear my everyday world described through the eyes of a newcomer....it makes me look at things afresh. Looking forward to meeting you in Sydney shortly.
