Well, heading into Wednesday, anyway 😉 Of the three things I have going right now, I haven’t touched the entrelac kerchief this week, though I plan to do at least a bit over the next couple of days. I am well along on the first sleeve of Glenesk There is about 2/3 of the last… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs

Book Score!

June 24, 2018June 24, 2018 quiteayarnblog6 Comments

My favorite LYS, Far North Yarn Company, had a blowout sale for solstice (this is a big deal in Alaska), that carried on until yesterday.  A major feature of the sale was $1 magazines and $5 books.  Guys, every knitting book in the store was $5!  So I stocked up. While the owner was ringing… Continue reading Book Score!

Quick Travel Knits

June 23, 2018June 23, 2018 quiteayarnblog5 Comments

This week was mostly a blur. It consisted of a whirlwind work trip to Seattle, in which I got an awful lot of work done, and not a lot of sleep.  But in between work tasks, I did finish the two kits I took with me (if you ignore the maybe hour of knitting I… Continue reading Quick Travel Knits

Work Trip

June 20, 2018June 20, 2018 quiteayarnblogLeave a comment

I’m on a trip for work right now, so not getting a lot of knitting done, and none at all on my regularly scheduled projects.  There is a pretty nice pool at the hotel where I am staying, so it’s a little bit of a pity I didn’t bring Call of the Siren, as I… Continue reading Work Trip

Progress Report – Sirens and Entrelac

June 17, 2018 quiteayarnblog2 Comments

I have a bit of progress to report on both the Call of the Sirens and the entrelac kerchief, so that’s exciting.  Glad to be moving forward! On Call of the Sirens, I got back to the point where I made the decision to rip back and then went into clue 2 with no problems. … Continue reading Progress Report – Sirens and Entrelac

The Knit Aquatic

June 14, 2018June 14, 2018 quiteayarnblog6 Comments

Tonight I watched The Shape of Water while re-knitting my Call of the Siren, so now I am feeling very aquatic and weird 🙂 Edgar and Lazlo assisted, as you can see here. The Shape of Water, if you aren’t familiar with it, is a modern retelling of the Revenge of the Creature, which is a… Continue reading The Knit Aquatic

Great American Read & Glenesk

June 12, 2018June 12, 2018 quiteayarnblog1 Comment

I’m going to start with something a little off topic – PBS’s The Great American Read!  To give a broad overview, this is an 8 part series about America’s 100 best-loved books.  The launch special introducing the books and the series concept just aired. Meredith Viera hosts the series, which is basically about how awesome… Continue reading Great American Read & Glenesk

Knitting In Public and Otherwise

June 10, 2018 quiteayarnblog4 Comments

Today was a very knitty day!  DH and I had a few errands to run today, just generally getting some tasks done.  We did stop for lunch at Bombay Deluxe, our local Indian restaurant, where I got a little public knitting in before having some very tasty matar paneer. The project is an entrelac kercheif… Continue reading Knitting In Public and Otherwise
