  My Requests For A Wool Tassle Were Ignored
But this one works too! It's been a turbulent 2 years - too quiet around the blog on my part and all-too unquiet everywhere else! Thanks for sticking with me as I powered through my MFA.


I'm taking a week off (from everything), then I'll be headed over the pond to go bananas at UK Ravelry Day. I'll be teaching alongside Meg Swansen, Wooly Wormhead, Debbie Bliss, and many others whose presence I am absolutely honored to be in!

Here's to a new chapter - one where there is much more time for knitting!
 
Comments:

Congratulations! Have a great time in the UK and I look forward to your further knitting adventures.

Well done! Looking forward to seeing more of you and your projects in the future. Have a great time in the UK. I'm envious!

Congrats on your sterling accomplishments. And the future holds more time for stepping out to meet new knitting friends, I hope.

Wow, what company you will be in! Your the new star on the block.

Enjoy and looking forward to your new future.

Congratulations!

And a wool tassel would have been so perfect!

Congratulations! I just finished most of Girasole. I am at the knitted edge point. I loved working the whole thing. Hopefully, I can figure out how to do this edging. I have never done one, and I just don't 'get' what I'm supposed to do. Once, while pre-reading directions for a lace shawl, I told a friend that I didn't understand what I was going to do. She gave me good advice " just do it. It will come to you as you knit it". She was totally right, so when I get some quiet time, I am going to sit and start knitting.. it will come to me..
I look forward to more wonderful things from you now that you aren't studying.

Congratulations! Have a wonderful time in the UK.

Congrats on the MFA!

Yay! Congratulations!

Congratulations on your amazing accomplishments!

Wonderful picture - it just made me smile :o)
Congrats on finishing your MFA and all the best for your knitty future.

Congratulations and enjoy UK Ravelry Day! I think it will be a great new chapter!

Congratulations on finishing your MA! My husband just finished his MA (human development) so I know how exciting it can be! We'd love to have you in our shop in CA, so if you decide to make the rounds in CA, add Compatto Yarn Salon to your list! :)

Many congratulations! And best wishes on the Next Thing (whatever It is!) Your loyal fans await.

Congratulations! Have a great trip to the UK!

Congrats! I look forward to your further [knitting] adventures.

Congratulations! Love the tassel shot.

So they did not honor your request for a wool tassel...make your own! I'm sure you have a few yards of wool laying around somewhere. If not, let me know and I'll make one for you :-)

Congratulations!

Congratulations on earning the tassel and welcome back. We've missed you.

Congrats Jared! It's a pretty good feeling to finally earn that Master's :) I know I was pretty happy when mine was done!

Congratulations! Enjoy the ease of the well-earned time-off, it sounds like an ideal time.

Congratulations! And many Hurrahs!!! I think graduating is one of the best feelings in the world - and that's because it's so earned.

MFA and UK = AOK!

Looking forward to your next chapter.

Congratulations!! I just finished a master's myself so I know the feeling -- isn't it a great one? (I walk Thursday. I think I'm going to sneak some socks in in case things get boring!)

Congratulations!!!

Will bring my Girasole along with me. See you there!

Congratulations! Enjoy your trip! And cheers to many happy new knits!

Congrats!! Isn't it weird how now it seems like the time flew by, even though at the beginning it seemed that it was going to take the rest of your life? Looking forward to many more of your great designs.

Congratulations on your MFA! Have fun in the UK. I'm certain the other designers consider themselves just as honored to be teaching alongside you.

Awesome! Great job finishing your work. I hate to tell you, but the amount of "free time" doesn't go up in proportion to the "course work time". It's a silly freak of nature...but enjoy the additional knitting time!

Congratulations! Looking foward to more of your beautiful knits.

What an accomplishment! Congratulations!

Congratulations!

Congratulations on a wonderful accomplishment. Enjoy your trip -- you have certainly earned it.

Angie

congratulations! =^..^=

Congratulations Jared, I've been a reader for what seems like years and have you listed in my favorites on my blog but I've never posted a comment before (unless you count my comments on the Hemlock Ring I made last summer). Here's to wonderful new patterns and lots of inspiration in the coming year.

Tora in Chagrin Falls, Ohio

Congratulations! Have a merry time in the UK!

WOW you are to be congratulated. A great accomplishment....you deserve to have a week or 2 off....cg

Wooo ooo

Congratulations!

Here's to the future!

WAY TO GO!! what a great accomplishment to add to your many obvious talents!

Congrats! A trip to the UK is a perfect way to celebrate such an accomplishment.

Frankly, I didn't know you were working on an MFA and teaching and knitting. If this has been a "slow" couple of years, I'm scared to see the ramp up.

Hey! With a little one, there truly and honestly more important, let me say, most important things in life to attend to! Have a wonderful time in the UK, you certainly deserve to be there !

Well done, you! And aren't we lucky to have the promise of more of your delicious knitting!

Congratulations! Looking forward to seeing you at UK Rav Day. I'm all signed up for your "plan you own aran" workshop. Sue

Ooo, the company you keep! Safe journey to you. Can't wait to hear how it all went.

Marvelous! Congrats and I look forward to seeing what good things the future brings for you.

WOOHOO!!! Way to go, Jared! Congratulations!! Love the non-wool tassel!

Habitat Hat: I just purchased this pattern on ravelry, and I’m so excited about starting it. I have a question, if I wanted to make it a slouchier tam-type hat, would it be possible to repeat chart A a second time? Would the stitches line up, because it looks that way.

-Kirsten

oops... ravelry ID underreigns

Congratulations, Jared! Enjoy your UK Ravelry experience. Sounds like a great way to celebrate your accomplishment!

Congratulations. I am only an occasional commenter but I want to say I am so proud of you. Everything you have accomplished during the last 2 years is so amazing, and what a great graduation present to be going to England! And to be in such company! Hooray for you.

Congratulations, Jared. It must be a wonderful sense of accomplishment. I am happy for you!
We look forward to having you at Knitty City on September 29th!
All good things, always,
Phyllis Howe

Like everyone else has said - Congrats! As someone who just finished an M.A. (Forensic Psychology), I know how you're feeling! It's great to knit without feeling guilty about the school work you could be doing!
Good luck - I'm sure you have a very bright future ahead of you!

Congratulations! :-) And thank you for being ever-inspiring and sharing.

Congratulations on this wonderful accomplishment! And thank you for all of the knitting inspiration.

Congratulations Jared. Don't feel too overawed...I'd find it hard myself...in the presence of those Knitting Icons. You are becoming one yourself. Thanks for sharing some of your free time with us blog readers/knitters. You are inspiring.

Congratulations Jared! You deserve it! And I love your work!

Huge congrats!!!

hope you enjoy yourself on our "sunny" little island. we've had pretty good weather this week, so i hope it repeats itself whilst you are here. also, i have that same ikea storage table thing :)

That looks like a lovely monochromatic wool pile.
Enjoy your Ravelry day. All those great knitters - yourself included! Hoping to see more superb knits on your blog. :)

Mazel Tov, Jared!! Best wishes to you as you begin the next chapter.

Congratulations! Have a good trip.

Jared, congratulations on the MFA. So much hard work, so much time and concentration, but so much talent! You are (along with a couple of others, I am enthusiastic in many directions) my idol and I love your blog and your photos and your knits. Did you do an MFA show? Is there a link please please please?

Congratulations! You must be thrilled to begin a new chapter in your life. I look forward to more frequent blog posts and your gorgeous photos/eye candy!

Safe travels. What a great way to celebrate!

Fabulous! Congratulations! I love the tassel display. I will say that I have on occasion *added* extra danglies to my mortarboard during a commencement ceremony. I bet any tassel designed by you would have been much more fabulous. That said, the one you earned is fantastic. All best wishes on the next stage of your journey.

I've been thinking about you lately. Congrats.

congrats!

Congratulations on your MFA. I've enjoyed your blog and your beautiful pictures. Looking forward to your post about UK Ravelry Day.

Congratulations, Jared! I know what a big deal that degree is!
