Letter from an absolute beginner

Jane May 14, 2020

Hi Friends,

We are all aware of the terrible impact of the Corona virus , and it has impacted on everyone’s lives in some way.

So I was delighted to receive this email from a customer who had really taken a positive outlook and decided to give knitting a try.

This is her email and I wanted to share :

The shut down prompted me to try some new things - one of which was knitting!
I had no idea where or how to start, so finding your website was great! I didn't really want to knit a scarf or beanie, so the toddler poncho was perfect!
I really enjoyed knitting it, your videos were clear and easy to follow and after only one false start (I kept accidentally adding extra stitches - oops!) I managed to create a pretty passable poncho for my little girl.
I've already ordered my next kit, taking advantage of the 2 for 1 offer on hand warmers.
Thanks for making getting started on knitting so easy and fun .

It’s a shame I’ve had to cover up this sweet face, but for privacy reasons, I understand.

My goal with What Jane Knits has been to create projects that are easy to complete, practical to use and also attractive with quality yarns.

So thank you, I feel I have achieved this and I’ve received a lot of lovely feedback from you all.

I shall share some more here another time.

The poncho kit is still available, however no cream left sorry, I do have beige and grey.

The handwarmer offer continues for this month and I have a beautiful range of 8 colours to choose from.

Stay healthy and happy knitting,

Jane

Meet Indiana

Jane November 25, 2019

When I talk about supporting Small farms and Australian yarn suppliers - I mean this small. Down to the individual animal small.

Meet Indiana, raised on an Alpaca Farm near Canberra, she provides the incredibly soft alpaca yarn I have included in my Single Rib Beanie kit.

Is’’t she lovely - look at the beautiful rich black colour.

My Aussie Yarn kit range was created to support these small suppliers who care and nurture their beautiful animals.

You can knit a gorgeous soft alpaca beanie using the fleece from this lovely girl, with everything you need in my beginner knitting kit. The kit contains this lovely un-dyed, natural black alpaca yarn, knitting pattern, knitting needles, sewing needle and compostable project bag.

Other kits supporting Aussie farmers are also available in my new range. Click here to view

Aussie Yarn Kits

Jane November 19, 2019

Beginner knitters, it’s your turn to shine!!

If you’ve always been keen to learn to knit, or wanted to help someone else learn these kits are your saving grace.

My Aussie Yarn kits provide simple patterns and instructions via You Tube and also include the yarn to create your project.

And what yarn it is!!

Stunning yarn - 100% grown and processed in Australia from small farms throughout the country.

The gorgeous yarn in the Handwarmer kit is grown in Australia, processed in Geelong and dyed and milled in NSW. And look at that stunning pumpkin colour! Wow.

The beautiful Collar kit is using yarn 100% grown from Merino sheep on a single Tasmanian Farm. It is processed in one batch to maintain the integrity of the farm and then hand-dyed using vegetable dyes by a Tasmanian artisan. A lovely soft yarn with a muted variegated colour. Truly unique. A delight to knit.
