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.

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...

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?

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!
