My name is Linda Jackson and I have been designing and publishing my knitted textile designs under the name of Artika Designs since 1990. These can be seen on my website www.Artika.co.uk. As a life long needlework enthusiast myself, addicted to knitting, both hand and machine, crochet, embroidery, patchwork, quilting and rug making, I am always inspired by the sight of an exquisite fabric or textile design. All the more so when these pop up on everyday items - a little jewel to brighten up the horizon during the course of an otherwise unremarkable day! Because of this I always seek out calendars, cards and stationery featuring images of textiles. Sadly these are hard to come by. So it is that with the advent of Lulu who can produce items on demand at an affordable price, I have produced the 2008 Knit and Stitches UK and US Calendars. I have opted for the colour book format for both these,with a convenient horizontal grid and a coil binding that allows the calendar to be hung up. The calendar dates and the textile design photo are on the same page along with the designs in chart form.
