What's New

I've been very lax in putting photos up of late.  I got carried away with making little jackets.  I'll definitely photograph one of each kind as soon as I can motivate myself to do it but in the meantime I thought I'd give you an idea of what's coming.  The individual photos will have more specific info. I'm creating new pages for the little jackets, market bags, and neck warmers that should be ready for public consumption in the next month or so.


 Aren't they lovely?

Plum, Brown, and Gray Jacket

This beautiful very fine wool yarn makes up delicately while still having an almost rustic look.

(Sample of yarn will be sent for $1.  That amount will be deducted from any order you place.  Email me for further instructions.)




White Shimmer Wine Jacket

This is another Wine Jacket where the little bit of shimmer just doesn't show up properly.  Again, another very soft acrylic yarn that feels as good as it looks.

(Sample of yarn will be sent for $1.  That amount will be deducted from any order you place.  Email me for further instructions.)



Coral Acrylic Wine Jacket

This Coral Wine Jacket is made from a soft acrylic yarn.  So very pretty.

Wine-Colored Jacket

Beautiful wine/burgundy color in sport weight acrylic yarn with a very soft hand.

(Sample of yarn will be sent for $1.  That amount will be deducted from any order you place.  Email me for further instructions.)


Sold


Copper Sparkle Wine Jacket

The photo can't express the glittery shimmer of this one.  Imagine the lighter colored speckles as a bright, copper-colored metallic strand wrapped around the copper/brown yarn   This color choice is great for any time of the year.  Think about Diamond--white yarn with silver sparkle--for a wedding or other event calling for white elegance.  Or, how about green and/or red for Christmas?  I'll be putting up photos of some of those when we get closer to that time of year.

(Sample of yarn will be sent for $1.  That amount will be deducted from any order you place.  Email me for further instructions.)

Sold

Coral Wine Jacket

This is an especially soft Jacket primarily because of the 25% Bamboo content.  I loved working on this one.  OK, I love working on all of them but this one was particularly soft and comfortable.

First Efforts


 From the left: standard White thread tied at the bottle neck, Gray rag knitting worsted, White thread over the entire bottle.
Obviously the one on the left isn't covering a wine bottle but I only have two "bottle models" right now. At any rate, from the left: Gray knitting worsted, multi-colored heavy cotton thread, White thread with a ruffle at the top (I think most new designs will include a ruffle).

In The Beginning

I'm starting out on a new enterprise, cjROCproductions (my sister thought of this for me--cj is for the initials of my first and middle names--ROC are the initials of all three of my last names--and productions is pretty self-explanatory.  It's not intuitive but it has a certain something about it.

If you have opinions or feedback, let me know.

Right now I'm going to be featuring my Wine Jacket designs.  Later I'll show you some of my market bags (re-usable bags to take with you when you go shopping and such) and, closer to winter, there will be neck warmers and cowls for the cold weather.  Who knows what else might show up?

Let's get started!
