Knitting in the Park: a hand embroidery kit that is great fun to stitch for all levels

What is included in the kit?

  • A fun hand embroidery kit with a really creative use of simple stitches, so great for beginners. One of my favourites to work!
  • The original design hand-printed on a generously sized piece of French antique linen.
  • A thread card loaded with all the threads you will need to complete the design.
  • A six-panel folder printed in full colour with instructions, an actual size drawing of the design and images for inspiration.

Additional Information

The full story is told, by Janine, in the kit. As soon as I saw it, I begged to embroider it. It is such fun to create all the different textures through very simple stitches, and the figures have such energy and personality. The kit also contains a drawing of the design, so if you have been on one of Janine’s workshops (Cowslip Workshops) you will be able to try making this design with fabric as well. The kit contains comprehensive instructions on how to embroider the design by hand, as well as a loaded thread card.  It is a very relaxing kit to stitch, and would make the most charming present for anyone who enjoys knitting, either alone or in the company of friends. I plan to add mine to a knitting-needle case I am making for someone very dear.

Why not stitch this to celebrate World Wide Knit in Public Day, held on the second Saturday of June each year.

The finished embroidery is roughly 14cm / 5 1/2″ square.

PLEASE NOTE

Update for ALL customers

27 October 2025

I am delighted to announce that we are now able to ship to the US, duty paid and, for the time being, I will absorb the duty.
 

Issue 26 of The Stitcher’s Journal has now been despatched to all overseas subscribers and you should shortly be receiving emails from Royal Mail confirming this, with a tracking number. 

The website has had to be reconfigured so that shipping is no longer included in the prices, but is rather a flat rate, set for whichever country we are sending  to — including the UK — and will be shown at the checkout.  I have of course reduced the kit prices, which used to include shipping, but I have also taken this opportunity to review my prices which have not increased to reflect the considerable increase in costs since February 2022. All in all, I think the results are fair, especially as in carrying out this exercise I realise I have been heavily subsidising the actual postage costs for the past three years.
 
Unfortunately, we are not currently able to take advantage of the Large Letter Rate for shipping to the US, but on a positive note (!)  all orders are now tracked and the flat rate has a greater weight allowance.
 
I will be adding some new kits, bundles and vintage finds and fabrics to the site today, Monday 27th October and through the week, and I really hope things will run smoothly now. 
 
Thank you so much for your support and patience, it means more than I can say.
 
With very best wishes,

Caroline
