2015 has been by far the busiest year for me in the three years I’ve been designing and redesigning, while learning to write a better pattern in my opinion. I rather impressed myself at how much I can accomplish when I pace myself 24/7, and I’ve laid it all out to see just what I have done this year. However, I must say that I have decided to abort mission with my recent attempt to design a steeked cardigan for Snowmelt, as hinted to in my last post, for my thumb is acting up and feeling rather sore. A soreness left over from my musical gigging days perhaps, but all this knitting huge amounts of fine yarn has certainly not helped. I refuse to admit I have the ‘a’ word, but its worrying me a lot. I’m drinking ginger tea like crazy, determined to manage my sore thumb. Then of course, with the new year comes a clean slate for new designs, which is encouraging. I am looking forward immensely to this coming year in good health and just want to say….
Happy New Year to everyone!
Happy New Year Sweetest Girl!
And the Happiest of New Years to you!
Happy new year dear Jen, you did a really great work in 2015!
Isabel, happiest to you & your family! You’ve helped me immensely this year, and thank YOU !
Happy happy new year! Hope 2016 is everything you want it to be. I’m just in the middle of emailing you. Fabulous designs. X
Chooks…. Happy 2016, and I am really excited to see your business growing, ours will hopefully grow up together, like two little kids in the play yard. 🙂 xx
Happy New Year Jen!
I was very happy to discover “you” in 2015 !!!
And I to discover you! So lets have a great 2016, and knit our hearts out! 🙂
I hope your thumb gets better soon. I loved this fiber roll call. Hau’oli Makahiki Hou!
Stefanie, you’ve been a great support, and I wish you the best of New Years yet! My arthritic thumb is getting such a dose of ginger it will cure all! 🙂
Ah – I knew we were twins – identical thumbs!
Like you, I am treating/ignoring in the hope that it will just go away. Happy New Year, my friend!
Lizzi, how about drinking fresh ginger tea with me? I just get a pot on the stove, grate or mince fresh ginger into it (peeled or not) and let it steep, heat as needed, pour through strainer into fancy bone-china mug! 🙂
I think the bone china mug is the secret ingredient! 🙂
I bought some home made non-alcoholic ginger wine so I will try that too.
Cheers!
Happy Birthday Lizzi!!!! Ginger wine! Yeah!
Wanted to say that it is fresh ginger stewed in a pot, rather than packaged dried ginger (flavored) tea. It is so ‘hot’ that it warms me up, also great for that cold empty feeling in one’s tummy. Creates quite a lot of warmth!
Your designs are all so lovely and appealing and knittable!! thanks so much for your creativity.
A very Happy New Year to you!
Amy, thank you, thank you, thank you! And Happy New Year, I hope this year brings you great things! 🙂
