Free Printable Jane Austen Quotes for Your Valentine’s Day Decor

February 3, 2015 by Dana Hinders

Jane-Austen-Quotes-7-Free-Printables1

As a fan of Jane Austen’s novels, I can attest to the timeless appeal of her stories. From the witty dialogue to the unforgettable characters, Austen’s works are a treasure trove of romance and love. That’s why I am excited to share these free printable quotes from her books for Valentine’s Day.

Whether you are a die-hard Austen fan or simply enjoy a good love story, these printables are the perfect gift. Imagine decorating your home with beautiful quotes from Pride and Prejudice or Emma, or giving a loved one a special note featuring a poignant passage from Sense and Sensibility.

But it’s not just the romantic themes of Austen’s novels that make these printables so special. It’s also the wit and wisdom that can be found in every one of her books. Who wouldn’t love a daily reminder to “love all, trust a few, do wrong to none” (All’s Well That Ends Well)? Or to “dwell on the past and recall happy memories” (Persuasion)?

So if you are a fan of Jane Austen’s novels, I highly recommend these printables as a unique and thoughtful gift for Valentine’s Day. Trust me, anyone who loves Austen’s books will adore these quotes and the opportunity to bring a little bit of her magic into their daily lives.

Here are some famous quotes by Jane Austen:

  1. “I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book!” – Pride and Prejudice
  2. “There is no charm equal to tenderness of heart.” – Emma
  3. “To be brave is to love someone unconditionally, without expecting anything in return.” – Margaret Mitchell
  4. “Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds.” – William Shakespeare
  5. “There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature.” – Northanger Abbey

In addition to being a skilled writer, Austen was also a pioneer of the romance novel genre. Her books focus on the marriage and courtship customs of her time, and are known for their realism, humor, and social commentary. Some of her most famous works include Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, and Emma.

A Whimsical Sock Pattern to Blow Your Mind

You probably know by now if you’re a regular reader (and if you’re not, welcome!) that I love a knitting pattern that’s a little silly or a little different from the usual. Classic patterns are great, too, but sometimes you just want to make something with a bit of whimsy. And when it’s super functional, too, that’s even better.

That’s the case with the Bananen-Socken pattern from Susanne Shahin. These banana socks are one of those patterns no one seems to be totally sure where it came from, and this free pattern on Ravelry explains how she makes them based on how she learned it.

It’s a sock that’s curved and when not on a foot it looks rather like a banana. There’s no heel, and you can use whatever number of stitches you need to make it fit your foot. If you’ve knit enough socks to know how many stitches you like you can just use that number, or the pattern notes include sizing charts to help. (It needs to be multiples of 2 for the ribbing.)

After working a traditional cuff, the body is made with ribbing on the back and welts (or what the pattern calls horizontal ribbing) on the front, which is what gives it the curved shape. There’s no heel, but there is toe shaping, but for the leg and the foot you just keep working the same pattern as long as you like.

I’m a little skeptical about how these socks will feel with ribbing on the bottom of the foot, but I’m definitely intrigued and will probably give them a try. 

The pattern notes are available on Ravelry in English, German, French, Italian and Spanish. If you head to the pattern page you can see a photo of what it looks like on a foot, and it just looks like a normal sock.

Have you ever knit banana socks or do you want to now? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
