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.

PLEASE NOTE

Update for US customers

2 September 2025

Just a brief update to say that  Royal Mail and Parcelforce have merged and come up with a fantastic new system. It just requires some serious tweaks to the website, so if US customers could just hold off for a few more days while I ascertain precisely where we stand, and my website developer implements the changes which will enable us to send kits and journals ‘fully landed’, with the customer seeing the duty paid at the checkout. The Stitcher’s Journal is free of duty. My embroidery kits bear 11.4%. My bundles of used fabrics are also free of duty. So we are just setting up accounts and integrating the website, and I am very hopeful that any price increases will be minimal.

I am taking the opportunity to re-stock the website at the same time, so that we can re-open with some new things on offer. I am also working on Issue 26 of The Stitcher’s Journal to come out later this month.

Changes can be unsettling, but sometimes, once one gets to grips with them, things don’t look so bad so I just want to reassure my US customers that it is not all doom and gloom.

A newsletter will be going out as soon as everything is set up. I am also confident that I can soon open up to the EU again; I have an online meeting with a Product Safety Compliance Company in which I hope to demonstrate that neither The Stitcher’s Journal nor my embroidery kits pose a danger to anyone. 

Thank you for your patience and supportive messages, each one just spurs me on, even after a long day buried in the Harmonised Tariff Schedule, which actually makes the most fascinating and distracting reading!

With very best wishes,
Caroline
