" Our original sweater was designed for the "1994 Vermont Forestry Exposition" Needlecraft Competition where it won GRAND PRIZE.  It also won FIRST PRIZE in many other needlecraft competitions.  The sweater depicts snowcovered lowland hills dotted with evergreens, majestic Vermont peaks, and clear blue skies.  The featured trees are pines, growing tall on the front right panel and left sleeve.  It has now evolved into companion designs of pullover, vest, hat and mittens.

Jane x2 Designs consists of the team of Jane Rayner of Irasburg, Vermont and Jane Kays of Branchville, New Jersey.  Together they unite more than 65 years of knitting experience and 15 years of hand-spinning and dyeing experience.  Designing for themselves for years,(mostly with their hand-spun and hand dyed yarns) they joined forces in the spring of 1994 to share with you their passion for fibers, color and knitting "
