Good things come to those who wait …
About this time last year, I informed you all that Jo Sharp books Knit Issue 3: A Winter of Luxury Knits and Knit Issue 6: A Winter of Poetry were out of print and we had run out of stock. I also informed you that we would be offering, with Jo’s kind permission, free downloadable patterns from these books to customers who purchase the yarn to complete the projects.
The wait is finally over. The patterns listed are all that have been made available to us from these 2 lovely books. What is great, is that there is a good cross section of garment and accessory patterns for men and women, designed for beginners to advanced knitters.
I have to say it did take me some time to figure out how best present the products to give online purchasers the information needed to purchase the correct amount without compromising the conditional nature of the generous pattern give away from Jo Sharp. Then a bit more time to get it done. So, if you simply have to have one of these lovely garments, and you missed out on your very own copy of Knit Issue 3 or Knit Issue 6, we can help.
All you need to do, is select your desired garment and click on the links to determine the yarn and quantity you need to purchase to complete the garment. We have included sizing information to ensure you get the fit you want. Links are also provided to purchase needles and stitch holders if you need those too. Remember to add the pattern to your cart before you head through the checkout.
Knit Issue 3: Striped Scarf requires Jo Sharp Alpaca Silk Lustre, Jo Sharp Silkroad DK Tweed and Jo Sharp Rare Comfort Kid Mohair.
The Knit Issue 3: Cable and Ribbed Vest and Knit Issue 3: Stockings are both completed in Jo Sharp Alpaca Silk Georgette.
Knit Issue 3: ZigZag Vest and Knit Issue 6: Cable Shawl are both completed in Jo Sharp Classic DK Wool.
Knit Issue 3:Wrap Jacket is completed in Jo Sharp Rare Comfort Kid Mohair, and Knit Issue 6: Garter Stitch Scarf is completed in Jo Sharp Rare Comfort Infusion Kid Mohair. These are now under the same listing, the Infusion colours are those with the colour variation. There is no difference to their tension and application.
Knit Issue 6: Garter Stitch Jacket and Knit Issue 6: V Neck Sweater are both patterns for Jo Sharp Silkroad Aran Tweed.
Knit Issue 3: Wide Collar Vest also has a Cropped Cardigan variation both are stitched in Jo Sharp Silkroad DK Tweed.
Due to the conditional nature of Jo Sharp’s offer, these patterns are available only to customers who purchase the wool to complete the project. Exchange of yarn is available where there is a fault in your product, returns are not possible under the terms of Jo Sharp’s free pattern offer due to potential for copyright infringement.
