WITHIN: Knitting Patterns to Warm the Soul
The soul let's you know when it's time to seek out comfort: hot chocolate, a good book, warm companionship, and - for knitters - layers of cozy wool.
Within (Marian Rae Publications; $21.95, October 2016) is the newest collaboration by designers Jane Richmond and Shannon Cook, featuring six signature patterns for wherever your heart takes you. Inside, you’ll find patterns for accessories, a shawl, and what may become your new favourite everyday garments. Together, the pieces in this accessible collection make a functional and beautiful addition to any knitter’s wardrobe
More than a pattern book, Within has lush, full colour photos that take the knitter on a visual journey along with Gryffin and her beau, through a world of modern rustic coziness designed to stimulate the senses and kindle inspiration. This hand-picked collection allows the knitter to feel it’s possible to make each and every item in the book.

Here's some more about the patterns I designed in the book...
HUDSON SHAWL by Shannon Cook
This shawl is a relaxing project that features addictive stripes paired with textured openwork, with a pretty edging that adds a bit of knitterly interest. Hudson is a quick knit that’s so much fun to make, you won’t want to put it down. The finished product is a generously sized accessory that can be styled many ways. It’s a shawl that just begs to be wrapped up in – no matter the season.
TIMBER CARDIGAN by Shannon Cook
This just might be your new favourite everyday cardigan – it’s warm, cozy and versatile. Knitted from the top down, with an easy raglan shaping, Timber is a relaxing knit featuring simple but effective design details. This casual cardigan – designed to be worn open – features twisted ribbing, slimming lines and handy pockets, for a sweater that’s as functional as it is beautiful, whether you’re at the coffee shop or in the woodshed.
TREAD HAT by Shannon Cook
Twisted Rib and Garter stitches combine in this cozy, textured topper. In super soft merino with a luxe faux fur pom pom, this hat will take you from a morning at the farmers’ market to an evening by the campfire without a backward glance. With three sizes and a wide range of yarns to choose from (it looks just as good in regular worsted as it does in chainette), you just might find yourself making multiples.
SPECIAL FREE BONUS PATTERNS!

Thank you in advance for all of your love and support of Within. So many of you have reached out with kind words and so much enthusiasm and it truly means so much to us. Without all of you we wouldn't be able to keep making these books so please know that your support is valued and appreciated.
I hope you enjoy your visit to Gryffin's getaway and the knits she wears while amongst the gorgeous scenery of Metchosin, BC. It's not that far a drive from where I live and I visit the beach near this farm frequently and can always be found knitting and daydreaming while I'm there :) So grab a cup of coffee and pull up a cozy seat - I'm dying to hear what you think about Within!
