I've had a bit of a hiatus from knitting and blogging in my life as I navigated some real life stuff. But, I'm happy to report, that the knitting love has come back to me, and I'm back to designing again.
One of the things that happens when you are a knitwear designer, is that you rarely knit for pleasure. You're always working out pattern logistics and, at least for me, I feel guilty if I'm knitting and it's not design work.
Now that my knitting mojo has come back to me, I'm going to try to be a bit gentler with myself and find some time for relaxation knitting as well as designing, but, the designing is first and foremost. I've launched two new pattern clubs, and, I've reopened my ravelry shop! So all of my old patterns are once again available.
I've also completely re-designed my website and blog. the new blog is located here. So if you're following me on my old typepad beebonnet blog, mosey on over to the new one and subscribe there. I'll continue to post in both places for a while, but someday the old beebonnet one will fade into the sunset.
So that's my news, what's new with you?
Welcome back! You've been missed.

Hi Janel,
I'm glad you are writing a blog again. I'm not returning from the past, but am new to reading your blog. I'm confused about this one, when I see that you have another one on the Rustling Leaf site. Perhaps others are confused by that too.
Mostly, I want to thank you. A while back, I emailed you about patterns of yours that I couldn't find, particularly Alhambra and Granada, but others too. Just this evening, I have found that you silently published an eBook at Ravelry with many of the patterns I mentioned in that email. I couldn't buy & download those patterns fast enough. I am so grateful to you for listening to me.
Congratulations on your new marriage. I wish you much happiness.
Nancy
