My friend, Jane Hurwitz, created a book called Instructions for Handknit for an article I wrote, “Handmade and Altered Books for Knitters,” INKnitters, pp. 6, ff., Vol. 5, No.3, Winter 2005.
We met in the late 1990s and were pleased to find that both of us enjoyed knitting. Jane introduced me to the Hallamshire Guild of Spinners, Weavers, and Dyers. We were members, as long as we lived in the area.
We hadn’t seen each other in several years when we talked on the phone early in 2005. It turns out she has been making books by hand! What perfect timing.
Here is her book, Instructions for Handknit.
Jane is on Instagram as @maniacalgardener, and her photos are wonderful. I hope you’ll follow her there. She also wrote Butterfly Gardening: The North American Butterfly Association Guide, Read more about Butterfly Gardening at Jane’s website.
In 2022, Jane, along with me and other volunteers, writes social media posts for the Center for Knit and Crochet. We’re on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.
