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.

You can always follow along with my progress on Instragm (carmelknits) hashtag #operationknitjane

Happy Tuesday Ya'll

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

P.S. Phoebe is doing awesome.

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...

Life in the Time of Covid

I have officially been working from home. Staying home.  Self-Isolating.  Safe Distancing.  For three four months.  My last day at my office was March 12.  If I look back and track how this transition has gone it's roller coaster.  But if you really want an accurate accounting of how my time has been spent These pictures sum it all up Thank you Anna Hrochavec for your amazing inspiring patterns Happy End of June. May the odds be ever in our favor for July. Naked Gnome, Tiny Island, Unicorn tiny cat octopus. one of my favorites fried eggs. Seriously how can you not be in love with these guys Ragnar by special request of my husband who is watching Vikings Tiny Parrot.

Sumo still waiting for his opponent Parrot meet Dragon *Drago ...
