ISLAND: A Collection from luvinthemommyhood on Vimeo.
Jane Richmond designs are beautifully simple, elegant and classic. This new book, with five gorgeous new patterns from her, looks like something to cherish. I love the slow pace of the video which I think is meant to reflect on the steady, slow life-style of islanders. It's hard not to slow down when your surrounded by beautiful forests and the vast ocean. I do really miss these things. When I visited from Montreal in August I didn't go into the forest until the last week of being there, and my husband took the words right out of my mouth, "why didn't we do this sooner?"
So, loving the looks of this book. Loving that it's new Jane, loving that it features lovely naturific photos between the design photos. Jane offered a limited amount of copies at Knit City. Did any of you get your hands on one? Sadly I wasn't in Vancouver that weekend. Fail. Janna

I did manage to snag a copy of the book! The first thing I did when I entered the doors to Knit City was make a beeline to Jane's booth! I've already cast on for the Grace cardigan and can't wait to knit up the other patterns from the book. I hope you are able to nab a book when Jane officially releases the book! :)

Melissa I didn't see this until now! Gad! I can't wait to see your finished Grace. I'm guessing we'll see it around your book review post date? Your comment will be posted after it is approved.

Welcome to the Vancouver Yarn blog. I'd love to keep on top of all the amazing textile related stuff happening around Vancouver and beyond, but it's just not possible! Please contribute by submitting (via the form above) an event or new locally designed knitting/crochet pattern, or other newsworthy item and I'll post it here on the blog. Thank you! ~Janna
Hi, I'm Janna. I'm the owner and natural dyer at Everlea Yarn and the tapestry instructor at The School of SweetGeorgia. I am a tapestry weaver, longtime knitter and 2013 graduate of Concordia University's Fibres and Material Practices program.
I founded Vancouver Yarn in 2008 as a single space to hold as much of the textile awesomeness that I could find in and around Vancouver. Here on the VY blog I mostly share about local events, pattern releases as well as Community Highlights. Do you have an event, KAL, yarn or pattern release, launch or other thing you want us to post? Just fill out the form at the top of this page, or send your press release to me at janna (at) vancouveryarn.com Thank you!
