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.

Jo Sharp Yarns and Pattern books

Dionne    What's New     jo sharp pattern books, jo sharp yarns, rare comfort infusion kid mohair, rare comfort kid mohair, silkroad aran tweed

Am pleased to announce I have loaded all our Jo Sharp yarns and pattern books.  While there is some accuracy lost in the colour hues of yarn, you can get a very good idea of the palattes, which have increased this year especially in the Silkroad Aran Tweed, Rare Comfort Kid mohair and Rare Comfort Infusion Kid Mohair.

Loving the return of some old favourite colours like Russian and Romany

I may return and add in more images for the books than I have currently included, but for now, I am pleased with how they look.  Would prefer to clear with Jo Sharp about additional images as she has already been more than generous in allowing us to use her images for our website.  It is great to work with suppliers who provide after sales support.
