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.

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...

Remembering...

I don't know what karmic cosmic angels were flitting around today but they led me to the coffee aisle at the grocery store. More specifically it led me to the international moments. Which led me to thoughts of my grandmother. I loved her. I knew deep in my bones that she loved me. Grandma loved her International Moments coffees. Just smelling them. Holding the tin (though it's different now) Brings back memories of being with my grandma. She said these were her special treat and she'd make one for me to. Grandma made the best fresh blackberry pie. I know they were fresh because when she came to visit us in Bellevue she'd make us help her pick blackberries. She was the master of Christmas cookies, chocolate chip cookies and raspberry freezer jam. I make freezer jam from time to time and it reminds me of summer visits to Boise. Helping grandma in her garden, making sun tea, and smelling her roses. Sometimes, I buy a tin of Interna...
