Weekly WIP Report

April 30, 2018April 30, 2018 quiteayarnblog4 Comments

This was an absolutely crazy week in a lot of ways, yet I still managed to make at least a little progress on all my WIPs! First, Glenesk is moving along nicely.  I have added in the steek* stitches for the sleeves and started decreasing for the V-neck, so am maybe 3/4 of the way… Continue reading Weekly WIP Report

Spotting Nessie

April 26, 2018 quiteayarnblog2 Comments

It’s been quite a week, and the nuttiness is not over yet!  However, I have been able to make a little progress in my latest cryptid knitalong – Nessie! Here is the front of the first sock.  Can you see her? And the back, where I’m neeeeaaaarly at the turn of the heel. And yes,… Continue reading Spotting Nessie

Twinkle of the Starlighter

April 22, 2018 quiteayarnblog5 Comments

Twinkle of the Starlighter is finally done! (Done done, as opposed to mostly done like the last post on this topic.) So I can finally stop knitting it, and you can finally stop hearing about it 🙂 So the specifics.  The pattern is Twinkle, by the prolific and creative Natalia Moreva.  The stars are done… Continue reading Twinkle of the Starlighter

Well, It Was an Experience

April 20, 2018April 20, 2018 quiteayarnblog3 Comments

When last I wrote, I was heading off to Fairbanks Alaska on a work trip, and had thrown some yarn and tools in my bag in a rather cavalier fashion, figuring that somehow a credible project would work itself out. That did not go as planned. Here again is the yarn… It is bulky weight,… Continue reading Well, It Was an Experience

Weekend Update

April 16, 2018April 16, 2018 quiteayarnblog1 Comment

Most of this weekend was devoted to making a bit more progress on Glenesk And I actually got the second repeat done! Other than that, I am going on a short work trip this week, so had to spend some time figuring out what project I am taking with me.  It can’t be either Glenesk… Continue reading Weekend Update

Done! (mostly)

April 14, 2018April 14, 2018 quiteayarnblog4 Comments

The knitting part is over – whew!  Now just a little blocking, which I am going to have to do in two parts… and then a little finishing, and I am done! I’m thinking about doing long tassels alternating the aqua and pink on each end, and then doing that kind of macrame knotting with… Continue reading Done! (mostly)

Twinkling Along

April 12, 2018April 12, 2018 quiteayarnblog2 Comments

45 repeats done – 7 more to go! In other news, our Poirot-a-thon continues.  I found out that you can add on a subscription to Acorn TV to an Amazon account, which lets you watch pretty much all the British murder mysteries you could possibly ever want. We decided to just start at random, so… Continue reading Twinkling Along

Murder on the Glenesk Express

April 9, 2018May 25, 2018 quiteayarnblog5 Comments

In general, my family are murder mystery people.  Not gory, graphic murder, because that is not relaxing. When we need some light reading, it’s off to the cozy murder shelf we go. Sci-fi and a few other genres are also good, but mysteries are always our favorite. So because we all needed to relax this… Continue reading Murder on the Glenesk Express

How Long Can This Go On?

April 7, 2018April 7, 2018 quiteayarnblog7 Comments

I’m at that phase with Twinkle where I am heartily sick of knitting it, and starting to get dramatic about it.  To shortcut myself a little bit as well as to find out literally how long this will go on, I resorted to math. A quick back of the pattern calculation tells me I have… Continue reading How Long Can This Go On?
