La Jefa: New Pattern!
Oh, you all have been patient! Ready for the last sweater in the Novus Collection?
Introducing LA JEFA!
I've been working on La Jefa ever since I got yarn from Jennifer at Spirit Trail Fiberworks in November. I ripped a few times, revamped things once, and then had a slew of people test her to make sure La Jefa fit more than just my body type!
Oh, I love this sweater! The wait was worth it, I promise!
La Jefa is definitely the most challenging of the 3 sweaters in the Novus Collection, but if you have knit Hot Flash or Las Cruces, or are comfortable with lace, you will be ready for her!
I actually knit two La Jefa's... the second is knit in Anzula Breeze (the same heavy lace silk/linen I knit both Crucero's with) in Shitake.
I think you can see the stitch details a bit more clearly in it! The back and side seam panels use the stitch I developed for Meta Mystery KAL
And the "body" uses the same stitch I used in Clarus! So really, though it looks complicated, this might be a familiar knit for a few of you!
This blog post would have WAY too many photos if I posted all the great ones from the shoot. Go take a peek on Ravelry, you can see a gazillion more, plus all the testers lovely versions knit in a variety of great yarn choices!
And lucky you! Guess what? Spirit Trail has offered to giveaway a Sweater Quantity (2 or 3 skeins, size dependent) of Nona in Rose Kissed (the color shown above) to one of you lucky blog readers! And Jennifer is so in love with La Jefa that she is offering 20% off Nona through 4/25/16. Just enter the code BOSSLADY at checkout.
Just leave a comment below letting me know who is La Jefa in your life! Don't forget to leave a way to get in touch with you... I'll keep comments open through April 24th and announce a winner in my next blog post!

| La Jefa (pronounced La He-fa) means Boss Lady in Spanish, and this sweater is certainly the boss! |
La Jefa uses the exact same construction as the other sweaters in the Novus Collection, if you aren't familiar with it, check out the blog series I did on it!

Oh my goodness - you've outdone yourself! La Jefa is hitting my queue right away. I'm looking forward to making the Novus jacket out of some of Jennifer's beautiful Vesta. Beautiful yarns and beautiful patterns - perfect combination!
ReplyDeleteAnd look how gorgeous the Lady Boss looks in that cherryred!
ReplyDeleteI have been so much looking forward to knit the last one of your great Novus collection and now I can cast on right away - how great!
Of course my La Jefa are my two boys - too small to not be taken care off, too cute to not follow their command - mostly anyways! :)
Absolutely gorgeous in both colours. What a labour of love when I look at the detailed instructions and charts. Perfect for spring and summer. You are da Boss Lady!

Beautiful! I need this sweater, it's perfect for the office. La Jefa is and always will be my mom. :)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this sweater. I have waited for this lace weight sweater so long. It will be just right for S. Florida weather.
ReplyDeleteWow, it is beautiful! I will definitely have to be knitting this!

ReplyDeleteI am now the La Jefa, as the matriarch of the family and it is for her I will knit this lovely lace sweater - when I finish Hot Flash!!
To me, La Jefa is my strong, beautiful daughter!

I am the LA Jefa in my family, (just ask my children and fur babies). What a wonderful name for this beautiful sweater.
ReplyDeleteMost beautiful sweater ever! And I'm my own boss lady now. Looking forward to being challenged (in a good way) knitting this sweater!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sweater! My daughter is my la jefa. Always spirited and determined she is now an awesome 25 year old.
ReplyDeleteThis is soooooo awesome. Definitely in my list. I am my own La Jefa, regardless of what my mom and my cats seem to believe. :)

Beautiful sweater. I'd love to win the yarn to make it! La Jefa in our house is our cat, Nori, who thinks she should be the center of attention at all times. I'm manneko on Ravelry.
ReplyDeleteThis design looks much better than the design I had in mind; I still have three skeins of Nona...
ReplyDeleteMarielle
I am the boss of me and no one else! That being said, I know what I'll be knitting with my 3 skeins of Nona in my stash!! :) Beautiful as always Laura!

I suppose I am La Jefa in my house as all the others are boys :)
ReplyDeleteI love this sweater and all you do.
Thank you!

Gorgeous sweater! All those LACE stitches! I am mesmerized!
ReplyDeleteAs for La Jefa, I would love to say that I am, BUT our 3 Calico sisters would definitely disagree. They seem to take turns being La Jefa and once I have knit this lovely cardigan they will undoubtedly take turns using it for a bed.

ReplyDeleteLove the new cardi, great addition to the collection. I would love to say that I am La Jefa but if I am honest The real boss is by mom. Anjahansen on Ravelry.
ReplyDeleteI'm lucky to have strong, talented, smart women in each facet of my life. I'm loving the lace in Synthesis and (once I catch up) will really embrace the challenge of beading for the first time!

ReplyDeleteI can't wait to knit this! I've been hoping for ages that Laura would design a lace sweater and here it is. I love it.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful sweater! As a professional woman in a mostly male world, I make a point of dressing in a feminine but professional way. La Jefa will make it clear who the boss is when I am the only woman in the room! moilars@verizon.net
ReplyDeleteI will look forward to knitting this beautiful and interesting sweater as soon as I finish Synthesis and would love too win the Nona in Rose Kissed. Can La Jefa be a man? I would say he is my La Jefa. (ehill32@live.com)
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic, Laura, you've outdone yourself! La Jefa in this household is Pyewacket, my 15+year old, blind, asthmatic kitty who's in congestive heart failure and is still going strong. She reminds me every day to keep going.
ReplyDeleteGlitterbug on Rav <3
I'm the La Jefa but if you ask my fur babies..they would be the La Jefa!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to knit this! I'm the La Jefa :)
ReplyDeleteThis sweater and the Nona in Rose Kissed were made for each other. Beautiful knit!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the live broadcast, Laura. My mother is the La Jeffa in my life. She passed away @5 years ago but she was such an amazing human being that she is still and always be the touchstone against which I weigh life's decisions. And she was the one who taught me to knit.--Biz

DeleteGod is my La Jefa.
ReplyDeleteBoth colors and yarns are nice. Hard to decide from these two.

ReplyDeleteI am finally the La Jefa in my life, but I let my husband think he has some input.
ReplyDeletepaknitter on ravelry
Beautiful! Must say, all your KALs have helped getting me comfortable with and looking for ace projects. Glad to have this as the final pattern in the Novus Collection. Who is La Jefa...hmm, maybe all 4 of us! I DH and 2 DSs, who have grown to be great independent adults! I am knit1baketoo on Ravelry.
ReplyDeleteI am La Jefa, both at work and at home, and I love this one too! Just emptied my needles so I can start Hot Flash, and work my way up to this one!
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful sweater! La Jefa in my life is definitely my cat Florence! I am josiekitten on Ravelry too.
ReplyDeletewho is la jefa? in my family, i think the la jefa role is divided up between my 4 sons. outside of the family, la jefa is my best friend - but in a good way. she always knows just what i need. i love this pattern and think it would make a great work jacket.
ReplyDeletei am diggin on ravelry.
My La Jefa is my wonderful Spanish Lady who actually came to me from Spain. She is feisty, sweet and can be timid around strange men. She has a rubbery nose and quite scary fangs. Her name is Circe and she is a galgo (or Spanish Greyhound) rescued from Spain. She is a delight and after all she endured is a strong positive role model for anyone.

ReplyDeleteMy Jefa is a beautiful Buddha named Tara!
ReplyDeleteLa Jefa around our house is our Lady Lulu, the most finicky cat you would ever meet. If she doesn't like dinner, she gets to try something else. If she wants "that spot" , her brother has to move.
ReplyDeleteShe'd love to sniff around some new and exciting yarn.
La Jefa in my life is a woman I adore -- my cousin. Since my wedding, she is known to the family as "The General". Without her drill sergeant style event planning skills in her maid-of-honor role, the occasion -- which took place in another country many moons ago -- would have been a pale comparison to the spectacular affair it was. Kudos to you, Laura, for continuing to create amazing and singularly unique designs that turn heads, attract flattering comments, and resonate with confident women. Melillo on Ravelry
ReplyDeleteBeautiful design! Most of the time I am La Jefa in the house but my husband is a close second :)
ReplyDeleteMy special niece, Jennifer, love the girl to bits!
ReplyDeleteI love this pattern! Hoping to attempt it.
ReplyDeleteLucky for me, I am La Jefa!

ReplyDeleteThe pattern and the yarn are stunning. I would love to knit this pattern for myself. I am my own La Jefa :-)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Love all of your patterns, and would love to win the yarn to knit this! ravid: mamacass
ReplyDeleteGorgeous sweater and wonderful giveaway! It's fun to read how you incorporated stitch patterns from earlier patterns ... and to see that it's so different from the other sweaters in the collection, but sharing so much of the unique construction. Lovely! Another great success!
ReplyDeleteOops - Forgot the part about naming my boss lady ... that would be me ... supervisor at work, matriarch of the family, primary breadwinner ... Also, my supervisor is a very smart and nice lady.
DeleteGorgeous design, beautiful yarn! I have to admit that I'm La Jefa around here, but that sweater would make anyone sit up and take notice! Thank you both so much for the generous offer. Ravelry: LisaCinFL
ReplyDeleteLa Jefa was my grandma, for sure :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful sweater. La Jefa in my life is my mother-in-law. Although her knitting days are over, she is still curious about the world and loves to have fun.
ReplyDeleteLa Jefa is my Mom, who passed away last year. She would have loved this beautiful garment, as do I.
ReplyDeleteLove the sweater, love the yarn! I like to think that I'm my own La Jefa, but I know that, while I'm in control, I let my younger La Jefa daughters be part of my decisions as well.

ReplyDeleteHmmmm.....without sounding too crazy (most knitters are crazy anyway) my Boss Lady would be the inner voice that says-"Just rip it out and make it right" or "Don't try to fudge it, fix it." I am sure most of us have an inner voice like that.

I watched the podcast late but I think you have outdone yourself, Laura. I love this cardigan. I now live in Trinidad and usually have a shawl with me as the AC in most places can be quite cold. The cardi will be perfect for restaurants of movie theatres. La Jefa in my life is my wonderful mother. Once I retired I came back home to Triniad to look after my parents and I am so very happy I get to spend time with a fabulous lady, my Mum! She is wise and funny and very loving and puts up with my Dad's and my shenanigans! I know I will have to knit two La Jefas, one for me and one for her!

ReplyDeleteLa Jefa in my life is "me", according to me, but according to my children, it's them. LOL!
ReplyDeleteThe sweater is gorgeous. Would love to try my hand at this,
As the oldest of 4 kids, I've always been the boss! It took a little while for my husband to make peace with that though. Lol! I've made Las Cruces and have Hot Flash on my To Do list. La Jefa will now be added too.
ReplyDeleteSince my husband passed away several months ago I have had to learn to be a "Boss Lady" in many ways. Knitting is my passion and go to for peace and relaxation. I'm now working on Hot Flash and just ordered yarn to make Le Jefa. Both sweaters are absolutely gorgeous! Whoever wins this contest is one lucky "Boss Lady!"
ReplyDeleteGorgeous addition to this collection of sweaters. Would love to make this one too!!! I am definitely La Jefa in my house but in our larger family it would of course be my mom!!
ReplyDeleteSo very, very beautiful! This is my favorite of all. I've already ordered yarn for it, but would love to win the gorgeous yarn from Spirit Trail. I would say that most days I'm La Jefa, but some days it's my knitting that's the boss of me. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the new cardigan. It would be just perfect for my sweetie.I would say that the "Boss Lady" on our lives is our kitty, but he is a boy, does this still count?
ReplyDeleteI AM LA JEFA...of me, and hopefully will always be. The rose color is gorgeous, but the construction of La Jefa is remarkable. You "done good", Laura.

I love the pattern. As for who is La Jefa in my life - well I'd have to say it's Mom

Love this cardigan from the collection! Just this week I was thinking about knitting up another lace cardi. La Jefa is perfect.
ReplyDeleteI love La Jefa! And I am La Jefa when it comes to knitting! My dad taught me to knit over 40 years ago and I've been at it ever since. I'm ready to retire (from my 9-5 job) and move to a warmer climate...Laura's lacey jacket patterns are perfect for me!
ReplyDeleteIn our house, our cats Allie Cat and Zumba are La Jefa - but that may change when I knit this sweater - I love it! It looks just right for our cool seasons. Definitely worth the wait. :-) You can contact me through Ravelry, I am salpal1. or through my blog http://whatimuptotoday.wordpress.com
ReplyDeleteLa Jefa for my whole family is mi abuela, Happy. Tiny and gracious, but she rules us all with a lift of her manicured finger! She's one of the ladies who taught me to knit, and would probably end up with the sweater if I make it.
ReplyDeleteI suppose I'm the La Jefa in the family. Sadly, not many left.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful offer.
Rav id is purple
I'm my own La Jefa in my life, although that might change once I decide to get cats...
ReplyDeleteThe pattern is beautiful, although I'm still a bit scared of lace, but I'm sure it would be worth the struggle.
As an empty nester I am currently "bossed" by my lovely little cat, but my first grandchild is on the way so there will be a management change in the future I am sure:) I love this sweater!

Wow this is stunning! I would have to say that my mom is La Jefa :) She keeps us all together and slightly less crazed, lol. Thanks so much for such an amazing giveaway.
