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.

The 'To-Do' list...

and by 'to-do' list I mean 'to-knit' list. I'm really really trying to get on track with this list and stay deeply focused. It has helped that I have successfully removed all yarn from the living room and into Mr. Brown's Yarn shop on the second floor. Except for the fact that I went in there the other day with a shopping bag and loaded up. Currently in the sidelines to be finished 1. Ledge Trail Vest 2. Twiggy for me 3. 70 Yard Mitt for my other hand Finished those bad boys last night! this is what happens when you use the 10s burst hands free option on your iphone and you're holding said phone with your chinny chin chin. On the List: 1. Twiggy for a Christmas gift 2. Iris the Gourmet Monster but since it's for a boy I'm calling it Orvil. 3. Great White Shart Shark 4. Bosco - for me 5. Stillhouse Vest - for me 6. Woodsy - for me 7. Three Seahawk themed hats as gifts. 8. Gifts for friends... and on and on and on If you...

SSYC... My First Official Yarn Crawl...

It's true... I've never actually participated in a yarn crawl or LYS tour. When I worked at So Much Yarn I had the pleasure of working the weekend of the LYS Tour but I've never done it. Well, the SSYC, South Sound Yarn Crawl covers 9 shops that aren't included for whatever reason in the Seattle LYS Tour that covers around 25 shops in the area. Maybe they're too far off the beaten path. It's not because they aren't in Seattle because there are shops way way way out of town that are included in the Seattle LYS tour. Whatever the reason, it's not important. What is important is that Mary and I both took Friday off and hit the road. I caught the 7:15 Ferry to Kingston, Arrived at Mary's about 8:00. Mary and I have the same china. Mine came from my Grandmother, her's came from her mom. Tried making friends with her fluffy dog Mae. Someday she'll come to love me, for now I'll respect her tenative personality and love her fro...

Finished Object

I'm not good at keeping surprises a secret...I get so excited that I usually blow it. Well not this time... I knit this sweater for Bump and had the buttons custom madefor it by Buttons by Robin, a wonderful shop on Etsy... She used a photo of Rupert that I emailed her...Rupert is their (Bump, C & M's) family dog... I couldn't post a photo until they had received the sweater which arrived on their doorstep last night... Oh how I wish I could have been there when they got it! It turned out amazing! Pattern: Baby Sophisticate Yarn: Big tweedy Cashmere (lucky boy) Please check out Robin's shop on Etsy I know you'll find buttons you love and she does amazing work!
