Operation Knit Jane in 2017

I planned a year of knitting.
I know. I know. I've done it before and then gone off the rails immediately.

However, new year, new plan. blah blah blah

So here goes.
It's no secret that I am a huge fan of Jane Richmond and her pattern designs.

In the past I've had the pleasure of doing test knitting for Jane.
I love her patterns. I love the classic style. The simple construction.

The complete wearability of them.

So I've chosen 12 patterns from Jane Richmond Designs
Some will be for me others I may gift or keep them all for myself. Who knows. The year is young.


This was the photo I posted on my IG account.
Row 1: Ladie's Classic Raglan Pullover, Climb, Spate
Row 2: Cozy Bolero, Clark Pullover, Fireside 
Row 3: Leg Warmers, Motley, Gemini

Not pictured but on the list: Sedum, Welted Cowl, Elizabeth

I'm currently working on Motley, the beautiful striped mohair scarf. My colors are a sparkly light grey and the palest pink you'll ever see. It's so subtle, soft, and airy! I can't wait till it's done.

I am also winding up some beautiful raspberry colored yarn to start sedum for myself.
Stay tuned.

Happy Tuesday Ya'll

It's good to be back, even if it's a little shakey

P.S. Phoebe is doing awesome.

W.I.P

Bears Barn Owl. We had a hockey game last night and while I'm normally so wrapped up in the game that I don't have time to knit, that was not the case last night. Silvertips have had a rough go and the Red Deer Rebels really wolloped them last night. So I knit. I ate some dingleberries. Delicious. and I knit some more. I have a feeling I'll be finishing this bad boy up by tomorrow and he'll be the star of the retreat. Isn't his color wonderful?

Knitter Down...I Repeat, We Have a Knitter Down...

It's probably not that dramatic, well maybe it is, who can say for sure....but I can say this, right now from my elbow to my wrist is some gnarly pain that was flared last night after knitting 6 rows of the Shawl...SIX ROWS and then WHAMMO! so much pain. This isn't the first day I've had this, I've actually been ignoring for a few days ...okay, I've been ignoring it for a couple weeks but this is the worst it's been...So, I've made inquiries as to which doctor to see and am waiting to hear back to make an appointment...while I wait ice packs, and copious amounts of pain meds (don't worry by copius I really mean, recommended daily dose) are being taken with the shedding of a few tears while I fondle my knitting... stay tuned...this can't possibly last forever xoxoxo c. p.s. Fati...don't worry I have a plan if this whole wrist issues blows out of control...

24 Hours

I don't even really know how to tell you about our last weekend. We took a trip that lasted less than 24 hours from start to finish. Saturday morning we left our home at 8:30 a.m. with our friends and we caught a train to Portland, Oregon. We were going to watch our hockey team play against the Portland Winterhawks. It's important to note that Friday Portland and areas far south of Tacoma Washington were hit with a snow storm. But, we were taking the train so we weren't super concerned. I packed extra knit items and warm clothes just in case we needed it. Boy did we need it! As soon as we got out of the train station we snagged the first cab we saw and made it thru the snow covered streets to our hotel. Which was a short walk from Memorial Coliseum where the game was being played that night. Checked in, changed our clothes into our team colors, and headed out to walk around a bit and find some pub grub... That's when we realized we were in the m
