Janny Pants Knits

My awesome friend Jan, commonly known as "Janny Pants", knitting at the "Got Knit?" night at the Independence Township Library in Clarkston.  "Got Knit?" meets twice a month on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays. Thanks much to Faith Nelsen for hosting this fun group! 

Also wanna thank Janny Pants for giving me the best gift ever .... the Sheep Squishable!  I am in love. 

One more note - my knitting friend Pam #2 has a talented daughter who made her stitch markers for her birthday.  Check out this one that looks EXACTLY like Pam #2 herself.  So fun!

My Qivuit Batwings

My father-in-law sent me (3) 90 yard skeins of Qiviut from Cottage Craft Angora.  That's right - incredibly over-priced-but-utterly-worth-it 100% Musk Ox Qiviut yarn. 

I had seen this stuff before from City Knits, but never indulged.  

Oh how the Yarn Gods deliver.  This is the softest, most luxurious stuff I have ever knit with. The color is perfect - sort of brown but sort of gray.  I love it!

After trolling Ravelry for hours, I finally found a pattern with the right amount of yardage that looked complex but was simple enough even for my feeble brain to knit up.

The "I Want You" Shawl by Loredana Gianferri.  LOVE IT! Looks like Batwings!  

Mine.  I'm keeping it.  Me.  Mine.  Love.
