INCANDESCENTLY HAPPY

Completely, Perfectly,
Incandescently happy.

 Just like every pattern Jared Flood
writes Stonecrop was an a joy to
knit and an easy pattern to follow.
Knit with Malabrigo sock yarn
in Terra Cotto this wrap is the
first Christmas gift to be complete
for 2015.
I am so thankful to Melissa for
hosting the KAL and for introducing
me to such a fabulous designer.
I had a thought that it might be
fun to knit every single one of
Jared's patterns since I love everything
he designs, I'm not quite sure yet,
but when I decide I will let you
know.
Now to finish my blanket.!

YARN ALONG :: 2015 # 1

A Promise to myself::
I will be a better me!

~Tracey

This is the year I promised
myself to learn three new
knitting techniques and I am
off to a great start, I learned
how to do a provisional cast on
to begin knitting Stonecrop,
a pattern I am knitting as
part of a Jared Flood Knit Along
that is being hosted by the
beautiful Melissa.
I had to add an extra row to be
on the correct side before beginning
the 'big' chart since I approach
the pattern backwards,[I drive
the owner of my LYS crazy],
but the pattern is everything I have
come to expect from Jared Flood,
Amazing!
And the bonus? It's my first
Christmas gift for 2015.

Another promise I made to myself
was to read more this year [knitting
has been taking more of my time
and I still can't do both at once] and
I am so pleased to begin the year
with a good book, The Thirteenth Tale.
There are beautifully written words,
an interesting story line and enough
mystery to keep me reading just one
more chapter each night.
