Glenesk – Moving Right Along

March 30, 2018 quiteayarnblog4 Comments

Making decent progress on Glenesk so far – what you are looking at is one repeat of the pattern.  Now I just have to do that one and a half more times, and I add the steek stitches for the sleeves and start decreasing for the V neck.  And then sleeves and the neck &… Continue reading Glenesk – Moving Right Along

March 25, 2018March 25, 2018 quiteayarnblog9 Comments

Before I get started on my real topic today, let me just say YAY, DH’s slippers are done! Clockwise from the top, these are Mom’s, DH’s, and my slippers. Anyway, as I was in the midst of this slipper frenzy, I started wondering about the details of how exactly this felting thing works.  I know… Continue reading I Felt a Curiosity

March 23, 2018 quiteayarnblog4 Comments

This is one of those times when I totally get how people have “startitis.” My current knitting is exactly the same as the last several times I wrote, and I’m boring myself even thinking about what to say about it right now.

Progress continues on all fronts, if a little slowed down because I let myself get spread too thin again!  For the moment, I have decided that DH’s slippers will be the weeknight project, because short bursts of knitting time will work fine for them, Twinkle is the workday lunch project for similar reasons, and Glenesk… Continue reading Twinkle and Glenesk

It has been one of those weeks – so busy I got almost nothing accomplished.  The yarn finally came in for DH’s slippers, and I’m around 3/4 done with the first one of those.  Twinkle continues to progress slowly.  I’m into the dark gray of the white to black gradient, so that is giving me… Continue reading Little Progress on Lots of Things

At Long Last, Glenesk

March 13, 2018March 13, 2018 quiteayarnblog4 Comments

Gauge swatch – actual footage! After having this pattern in my Ravelry queue for a little over two years, and having the kit for about a year and a half, I’m finally getting around to it! Glenesk is a stranded colorwork cardigan designed by Jade Starmore.  My original plan for this sweater was to get… Continue reading At Long Last, Glenesk
