A Swinging Success
For Jane Slicer-Smith, it all began by simply adding
a little ‘A’ line to a straight cardigan. Then one
Jane Slicer-Smith.
Pic by
Alexis Xenakis x-r-x
inc
“I have designed for British,
French, Japanese, Australian
and US yarn companies
and have become known for my
Swingcoats and ‘A’ line shaping. I also
make to measure so the shapes have
been refined over the years through
working with clients.”
Jane is the owner of Signatur
Handknits, an online store that sells
ready to wear, made to measure hand
knit designs. Signatur Handknits, says
Jane, started out of pure indulgence.
“Creating for leaflet and magazine
publications can place many restraints
on a designer. I soon realised that
with my own label I could put as
many colours together as I want in my
finished garments. It went from there.”
Jane also sells custom sized knitting
patterns and kits which she readily
admits to being reluctant to sell at first.
“Signatur Knitting Kits grew from
demand. I wasn’t looking at this
marketplace and would reluctantly
sell a knitting kit if somebody really
pressed me. I know it might sound silly
but I feel if you knit one of my designs
you are representing my business –
but then I started including yarn and
buttons into my kits to ensure quality.”
Having a mother who was a
fashion illustrator and a grandmother
who was a dressmaker, Jane spent
24 Australian Knitting
day she decided to add a little swing…
and from that day on, she never looked back.
By Sharon Quill
most of her childhood surrounded by
fashion and design.
“Fashion, creating and colour were
just part of life for me growing up in
Yorkshire, England. My sister and I
used to have fashion parades, not by
playing dress up, but by drawing ladies
wearing clothes. We’d cut them out
and parade them up and down. It was
a great time. It was my grandmother
who taught me to knit. She also taught
me to how pattern, cut and create
balls gowns for my Barbie.”
In later years as a university student,
Jane’s desire for hand knitting was
often frowned upon. But that didn’t
deter her; nor was she bothered when
her friends thought she was truly
crazy to move to one of the hottest
continents to establish her career.
“I now live in Sydney. My friends
from university where I completed
my BA honours degree in knitwear
design thought I was crazy moving to
Australia … but for me, I get to enjoy
both the southern and the northern
hemisphere winters – two winters –
who could want more?”
“I actually returned to Yorkshire last
year as part of a seven week work trip.
There I sold my garments and knitting
kits at The Knitting and Stitching Show
in Harrogate. The trip also took me
to the States where, among other
things, I taught at a knitting store in
North Carolina and at Stitches East
(a four day show about hand knitting
in Baltimore). Another highlight was
presenting a slide show and fashion
parade to one of the largest guilds in
the USA. It was a knitter’s dream.”
Even though Jane has an impressive
website (thanks to her dedicated
husband Brett aka web developer,
photographer, sales assistant,
marketing guru), Jane says the shows
she attends are really her store front.
“As a result of travelling so much
for shows, I only sell from the studio
by appointment. I still get knitters
from all over the world coming to the
studio which is wonderful. I sell most
of my work, however, at shows. In
Australia. I sell in Sydney, Melbourne
and Canberra, and every couple of
years I get over the Perth. The shows
I do vary. I have just completed a
show called Designers and Creators.
Everything there was designed and
made in Australia, from knitwear and
felting to timber furniture, sculpture
and shoes. I also attend Stitches and
Craft, and the Art, Craft and Quilt
Fair, which is a supplier DIY show.
Then in the USA and UK, I attend
knitting conventions. I tend to do more
teaching in the States as their shows
are oriented around classes.”
Mitre Vee Coat
 Along with
attending and
teaching at shows,
designing, creating
and running her
nline store, Jane is
orking on her first
ook titled ‘Knit the
olours of Australia
Swing, Swagger
d Drape’. It will
unch in September
the Stitches Mid
st Show near
icago.
One of the hardest
Coco Slub Jacket ices for the book
picking the colours
nit and deciding
whether it was a single
colour or multi colour garment.”
“Even though it is a book about the
colours of Australia, we decided to
photograph most of the garments in
Santa Fe, New Mexico. If you go to
my website, you’ll see me, my friends
and my niece wearing my designs but
it was a revelation to see my garments
shot on location and professionally
styled with beautiful models. I also
had a great photographer, Alexis
Xenakis, whose resulting shots were
beyond my expectations.”
As part of her site, Jane puts out
a regular newsletter which covers all
the craft and art shows she attends
and participates at. In her latest
issue, you can view her photo shoot
in Santa Fe, New Mexico and the
amazing arts of the region which
she finds truly inspiring.
“I am always asked what inspires
me and I always answer that
inspiration comes from everywhere
– be it in nature, architecture, art
or history. Probably my greatest
influence however is the colour
of life … but funnily enough my
favourite colour combinations aren’t
always the best sellers!”
“Australians tend to be pretty brave
with colour. I think we tend to react
to grey and black winter seasons. It’s
interesting to see stores each winter
and the colour stories they introduce
– here and internationally. The west
Laura Cardigan
coast of the US, for example, has

26 Australian Knitting
similar colour likings to Sydney but the
east coast is quite English in its style
and colour.”
Certainly, colour is something Jane
is not shy of and her extraordinary
collection of intricate designs and
colour combinations can be viewed
online via her website. When you
are there, be sure to view the
‘Knitting Techniques’ page – it is a
generous and helpful section. It is
there Jane goes into detail on various
techniques from Fairisle and Intarsia
to mitres, cables and textured
stitches. She also talks about
puckering, travelling stitches and lace
patterns.
Along with her garments, patterns Split Kimono Blocks Cardigan
and knitting kits, Jane also sells a
selection of yarn – but be sure to needs; and her team of knitters who Jane’s studio is 20 minutes from

Not essential for this scarf, however
it is necessary to work firmly on the
larger size needles to obtain correct
yarn usage.

GETTING STARTED
The Flamenco scarf is knitted
sideways. When using Endare (MC)
work throughout the scarf using 2
strands together. This finer yarn can
prove difficult to work with from the
inner and outer of the ball, create 2
ball strands, by winding original ball
in half to achieve the necessary 2
strands.

WORKING PATTERN
Using 12.00mm needles and 2
strands of MC tog, cast on 224 sts as
folls – cast on 2 sts in normal method;
* insert right needle between the
2 sts on the left needle; wrap the yarn
around the right needle as if to knit
and pull the yarn through to make a
new st; place the new st on the left
needle, repeat from * always inserting
the right needle in between the last

GETTING STARTED
You will first use the chiffon as a guide
for the work area, then create the
second side trapping the chiffon inside
the Merino sliver.

WORKING PATTERN
Place the silk chiffon on the table and
lay bubble wrap on top with the bubbles
down. Separate the sliver into two equal
portions.
From the first portion take small
amounts of sliver and place on the
bubble wrap in an even layer the same
size as the chiffon.
To allow for a fringe make a layer
10cm longer than the chiffon at both
3
ends. Make this layer a little thicker. Add Rating
more sliver to any gaps or thin areas.

60 Australian Knitting
This has prepared one side of the scarf.
Carefully pull out the chiffon from
under the bubble wrap and place on
top of the sliver. Repeat taking small
amounts of sliver using the second
portion of sliver and place on the bubble
wrap in an even layer the same size as
the chiffon. Make a thin layer on top of
the chiffon. Place sliver .5cm over the
sides of the chiffon.
Mix 600mls of hot water with 15ml of
liquid detergent and sprinkle evenly over
the entire scarf. Use only enough water
to wet through. Gently pat the sliver
down so it becomes thoroughly wet.
Take roller and roll gently, ensure roller
does not pick up any fibres. Roll in small
movements up and down the length
of the scarf for approximately two to
three minutes. This will begin the felting
process. Fold the end of the bubble
wrap over on top of the scarf and place
roller straight across the width of the
scarf. Roll the bubble wrap and scarf
around the roller very tightly keeping it
very straight.
Wrap the towel around the roll tightly,
this will keep it from slipping when it is
being rolled. Use the second towel to
remove any excess water from the table.
Pushing down firmly roll back and
forth 100 times; rotate roll a quarter
turn after 25 rolls back and forth to
ensure even felting.
Unroll, smooth carefully with roller,
taking care no fibres wrap around the
roller. Look at the edges of the scarf and
where the fibres are over the edge of the
chiffon, fold back onto the scarf making
a nice straight edge. Fill any thin areas
with small amounts of fibre and wet with
water and detergent. Rub gently with
your fingers until a little felted.
Fold over the opposite end of bubble
wrap, place roller squarely and roll up
tightly, wrap again in towel and continue
rolling for another 100 rolls, turning a
quarter turn after each 25 rolls.
Unroll, smooth any wrinkles with roller
and repeat rolling steps until 400 rolls
have been made in total.
Unroll, smooth with roller. Carefully
turn scarf over, fold over the end of the
bubble wrap, place roller squarely and
roll up tightly, wrap again in towel and
continue rolling for another 100 rolls
turning a quarter turn after 25 rolls.
The scarf should be felted now. To
check pinch a small amount of fibre and
pull up a little; if the fibres and chiffon lift
together the scarf is sufficiently felted. If
not, repeat rolling process.
To make fringe use scissors to cut the
ends in 1.5cm wide strips up to where
the chiffon begins. Twist gently then roll
between your hands until felted. Trim the
ends with scissors to make even.
Give the scarf a final felt by squeezing
and throwing it onto the table 20 times.
Rinse gently in cool water. Ensure to
rinse out ALL the soap. Squeeze out
excess water and hang to dry. When
