One of the loveliest things to do when you can’t sleep, is sketch. Sketching helps everything.

Alas Poor Yorick
I’m developing a new Shakespeare festival in association with The Cut Art’s centre in Halesworth, Suffolk. We’re calling it SHAKE! Here’s some of my artwork for it…”Alas Poor Yorick”, from a vintage book illustration. More details soon…

Meander pattern heavy linen bedspread
Work in progress…I’m using a lovely heavy linen unbleached yarn which is somehow delicious to handle. I’m copying this Greek stitch (without a pattern), which was inspired by the Mesopotamian river Meander. Often seen on architraving and friezes, it’s an ancient pattern which symbolises eternal life.
Jennifer Caron Hall
Google keeps confusing an American actress with me. It’s driving me a little insane.
In the interests of retaining my identity, I’m here posting 4 photos of myself Jennifer Caron Hall, also known as Jenny Hall, Jenny Caron Hall and Jenny Wilhide.

Jennifer Caron Hall
There seems to be some confusion so for the record this is me, Jennifer Caron Hall also known as Jenny Hall daughter of Sir Peter Hall and Leslie Caron, sister of Christopher Hall and half sister of Edward Hall, Lucy Hall, Rebecca Hall and Emma Hall.
I am not American I’m anglo- french.
A special poncho for HOOK CROCHET
Here’s a sneak peak at a prototype poncho in corded red mercerised cotton. It hangs beautifully because there’s a satisying weight to it. It will be a very special garment, for day or evening. A little bit of edging and it will be complete.
What is luxury? I think it’s something made with great care and love, by hand.
HOOK CROCHET is Jenny Caron Hall’s new company, for crochet bedspreads, baby blankets, wall hangings and elegant contemporary garments. They’re made entirely by hand using traditional crochet stitches to contemporary design.
Crochet is one of the oldest art forms, and can be traced back to ‘Nålbinding’. The oldest known textile fragment of Nålbinding dating from c. 6500 BCE was found in Nehal Hemar cave, Israel. Another from the Ertebølle period c. 4200 BCE was found in ‘Tybrind Vig’, a Mesolithic fishing village in Denmark.
