I first heard that Jane Richmond’s new book had come out when we were at Knit City in October 2012. Carina was working with me in our booth and she came running over, saying, “omg I gotta get Jane Richmond’s new book” and I said, “what new book!?! get me one, please!”. Minutes later, Jane completely sold out of her printed copies at the show… and for good reason.
ISLAND features five new designs by Jane Richmond including a cardigan (Grace), scarf (Strathcona), hat (Renfrew), cowl (Arbutus), and fingerless mitts (Rathtrevor). The inspiration for these pieces comes from her beloved, Vancouver Island. If you’ve ever been to the Island, you’ll sense the Pacific Northwest in her designs and the gorgeous photos by Nicholas Kupiak. The design and layout of the book itself was done by Shannon Cook.
The patterns, photos, layout and even the feel of the paper help to convey that sort of meditative, rustic, fresh but relaxed feeling. All the designs look classic but modern, minimal and timeless. I knit myself a Grace cardigan and the Arbutus cowl, but I could easily see myself knitting all these designs more than once. The simple accessories would all make wonderful gift knits.
Grace
Back in March 2012, Jane had contacted me about dyeing our Deep Olive green on the BFL Sock to knit one of her new designs. That new design ended up being the “Grace” cardigan. This cardigan is knit from the top-down in one piece and features a lace yoke that feels minimal and modern. Designed in fingering weight yarn, it’s lightweight enough for layering.
I started knitting a Grace cardigan at the beginning of November and finally finished it during my trip to Long Beach for TNNA. It’s a lovely and easy knit… the only thing that was a little confusing for me was keeping track of my lace stitches in the yoke. I had to rip back a couple times because I kept forgetting to make yarnovers. And I think I ended up knitting my cardigan a little longer than specified. I knit the 34″ version and it only took 2 skeins and a small amount of a third skein.
The pattern is written in ELEVEN sizes, to fit busts between 30″ to 50″. To make the pattern easier to read, the pattern is written in a “fill-in-the-blanks” style. You first choose your size, then you consult the table of all the stitch counts and measurements and then copy the values into your pattern template. Then as you knit your pattern, you only see the values that are relevant to your project! No worries about accidentally reading the wrong line or size!
I love my Grace cardi. I just wish I had done two things differently… I wish I had made the upper sleeves bigger to fit my arms. Somehow wishing I had thinner arms is the same as wishing I was taller… it’s just not gonna happen. And I wish that I had made single yarnover buttonholes. The buttons I chose were so tiny, they don’t stay buttoned. But other than that, I love this design.
Arbutus
Jane was wearing the Arbutus cowl at the Knit City show in October and I was immediately smitten. It’s pure genius. Jane has designed this welted cowl to bunch and fall perfectly.
Basically, there are three tiers to the cowl. Starting at the top, you knit the first tier of the cowl. Then you cast off a portion of the stitches and cast on more stitches for the section tier, making the second tier slightly wider than the first. The third tier is similarly wider than the second. As a result, the cowl looks like it’s been casually wrapped around your neck three times, but isn’t bulky.
When I saw the Arbutus cowl, I knew I had to find just the right yarn for it. I’ve been testing new base yarns and found one that fit the bill perfectly… It’s our new Trinity Worsted: cashmere, superwash merino and silk in a squishy soft worsted weight (available shortly). I know Jane calls for DK in her pattern, but the Worsted weight worked just fine too. I just went up a needle size. I’m just finishing the last few rounds of the cowl (sorry there’s no finished cowl photos yet!) but I’ll be wearing it at Fibres West in a couple weeks!
Want to win a signed copy of the book?
Jane has graciously given me a signed copy of the book to give to one of you lucky knitters! And to sweeten the pot, I’ll include a skein of our SweetGeorgia Trinity Worsted (would make a great Arbutus Cowl or Renfrew hat) in a colour of your choice. Here’s the rules and how to enter:

Hey Felicia!
I’d definitely stitch up a Grace cardigan, though the slouchiness of the Renfrew has me itching to finish midterms and get to what really matters… :) She’s done a fantastic job on the patterns and I gotta say, your sock yarn made for a really really great xmas gift for a friend i met up with in vietnam over xmas! he wore the ‘birkensox’ i designed, despite being at the beach! (sandystix on ravelry)

I would love to knit up Grace and Strathcona. Grace seems so perfect for sock yarn which is my addiction and such a pleasing design for any shape of person. Theres so many sweater designs that are only tall person or big or small busted designs. And Strathcona is amazing it would dress up any outfit!

Hi There Felicia!
Thanks for posting about Jane’s book! I’ve heard a lot about it from various sources and would definitely love to get my hands on a copy! What a great give-away!
I’ve seen the Arbutus cowl now in a few places and I’m dying to knit one for myself! Can you believe I haven’t knitted a cowl yet? So, I figure this one would be a really good place to start! Looks so yummy and squishy! :)
Thanks again!

I’d love to knit the Arbutus cowl – I get so much use out of my cowls and I love how fast they knit up. I could see it done up beautifully in some handspun too.

They all look wonderful, but I love the Arbutus tree so I think I’d start with Arbutus. We are moving from Nova Scotia back to BC this year and will live on Vancouver Island so having a book with patterns based there would be so special. Love your yarn too, can’t wait to live closer. :)

Strathcona is lovely, I love the delicate drape of the open work but there is something “stabilising” in the ends of the piece. It’s a lovely design construction.

Thank you so much for the opportunity. I’d love to do the Grace Cardigan because there are relatively few patterns nowadays in fingering weight. I bet it would be gorgeous in your BFL sock – slinky and shiny!

Renfrew is my favourite. I love the simplicity of the design, which allows the cabled portion to stand out. Can’t wait to start knitting it for myself, and maybe make extras for Christmas gifts. I can see it worn by either a woman or man.

I am so in love with all these designs, but I would knit arbutus first because I’m intrigued by it’s construction. And I would love to try out the new yarn base :) knursekettle on ravelry

Such fun! I actually already have a signed copy of the book and have whipped up both Arbutus and Renfrew, with Grace planned for later. But I’m commenting anyway because I’d love to make another Arbutus with Trinity Worsted!

I have wanted to knit Rathtrevor ever since I saw the first projects make the blog rounds! I need them because for typing in a freezing office.

I would love to knit the grace cardigan with Sweet Georgia yarn. The yarn would show the pattern best, and the pattern would suit this 64 year old frame!
Most of my knitting is accessories, so I would start with the scarf and the cowl. But the sweater is so pretty, I will be tempted to try that soon. I love so many of Jane Richmond’s designs. I would love to win this book! Thanks for doing this.

I’ve long had in mind to do a set of patterns inspired by my own home island, just across the water from Jane Richmond’s, so I’m really tickled she’s done this! Beautiful, wearable pieces… just the way we like them in the Pacific Northwest. I think Grace and Arbutus are my favorites. Love your versions, too!

First Arbutus then Renfrew! I’ve had my eye on that cowl for a while. Thanks for giving us a peek into how it’s constructed. I knew that I liked the way that it looked but I think it’ll be fun to knit now too.

Hi Felicia, I have not a chance to see too many of the patterns in, “Island”, but the first site of “Grace Cardigan” told me I wanted to knit it! The deep olive color it is shown in here is fantabulous. Of course there are others in the book I would like to knit like the hat, but Grace won my heart. bluewingteal is my Ravelry name.Thanks for the opportunity to win this new book, Deb from MN

but that grace cardi is something. i’m already planning on ordering some sweet georgia to knit it with. i just need to make a dent on my current actual queue (vs. ravelry queue. which is rather out of control).
