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

Wednesday, December 09, 2009THE INSPIRED KNITTER’S CLUB & NEW EVOCATIVE KNITTING GUIDE NOW LIVE!
After receiving many requests from those who'd like to receive the club membership as a gift this holiday, the club has gone live! To subscribe, just click on the button to the right which takes you to the club subscription page. All memberships will receive the Winter Evocative Knitting immediately after sign up with the first subscription posting to come in January.
Inspiration is energy, the energy that fuels creativity, the energy that brings something new into being. That something fresh might be an idea, a piece of knitting or even a cake. It doesn't matter. The very act of moving forward is itself inspirational. It's stasis that drags us down. Here, on the edge of a new year, I find myself re-thinking inspiration. For me it's the root of happiness and the ability to find joy in the smallest of things. Only how can I help encourage this fire in others, help reveal the possibilities? In knitterly terms that means more, more than what I have currently the scope to do in my newsletters or even here on my blog. I need to provide more photographs, more depth, more tips, explorations, techniques, ideas, even a few of the interesting, inspiring stories and photographs I've gleaned on my travels. From this stew of glowing luminescence, comes opportunities to knit something fabulous, to explore a new color and stitch techniques, to fuel an individual's own creative journey. So, come January, I'm launching the Inspired Knitter's Club, a true club keyed to light a knitter's muse. The club will include monthly PDF mailings packed with inspiration of all kinds plus knitting recipes and color explorations. Members will received a choice of two guides, either choosing from the three currently published (Feather&Fan Club, Knit a Beach or Summer Knitting Guide) or two from the ones coming out in the next six months, including January's new Winter Forest Guide seen below plus much more. Below, the Thousand Branches Kimono featured in 2010's Winter Forest Guide:
