Doodly Doo

July 30, 2018 quiteayarnblog4 Comments

After the concentrated push to get finished with Glenesk, I took yesterday and today to just noodle around with a couple of projects. I got back into the swing of my Call of the Siren, and made some halfway decent progress. I have a little more of this texture section to go, then another double… Continue reading Doodly Doo

The 2nd Last Time You Will Hear About Glenesk – I Promise!

July 28, 2018July 28, 2018 quiteayarnblog7 Comments

The knitting part is done!  Whew! It is in for a soak right now so I can start blocking.  Then there’s just weaving in ends, doing the buttons, and a little bit more finishing.  So you’ll probably hear about it again when all that is done and I have a chance to do a nice… Continue reading The 2nd Last Time You Will Hear About Glenesk – I Promise!

Entrelac Kerchief Done!

July 25, 2018July 25, 2018 quiteayarnblog7 Comments

My entrelac kerchief, knit from my niece Katy’s lovely spinning, is done! Though I would normally never take something I care this much about with me on a trip, I was able to get it into my purse, so I was relatively certain that nothing bad would happen to it.  That gave me two medium… Continue reading Entrelac Kerchief Done!

Purling and Pearling in Portland

July 23, 2018July 23, 2018 quiteayarnblog3 Comments

This past weekend, DH and I took a quick jaunt to Portland, OR.  We saw a lot of sights and ate some really good food.  In all the excitement, we made two stops of specific interest to knitters –  Pearl Fiber Arts and Powell’s City of Books! Pearl Fiber Arts is a smallish shop in… Continue reading Purling and Pearling in Portland

Glenesk: One Step Forward, One Step Back

July 19, 2018 quiteayarnblog4 Comments

I have some progress to report on Glenesk – but not as much as I’d like.  I got the bottom band reknit, and in spite of the hassle it was, I’m glad I did.  When I started, I forgot to use the smaller needles and just dove right in.  As a result, the bottom band… Continue reading Glenesk: One Step Forward, One Step Back

A Farewell to Arms

July 17, 2018 quiteayarnblog9 Comments

The second sleeve is done! Yaaayyyy!!! I reinforced and cut the steek down to where the V neck starts, just to check for length and fit.  It fits, and the length is good.  Whew!  I did decide to redo the bottom band, though I soon wished I had decided differently.  That did not go smoothly… Continue reading A Farewell to Arms

A Sheep, A Shark, and a Camping Trip

July 12, 2018July 12, 2018 quiteayarnblog8 Comments

As I have mentioned several times before, I am kind of easily distracted.  It takes nothing more than a tantalizing project or yarn to pull me completely off of a carefully thought-out and solid knitting plan. Up until recently, I had such a plan.  I am going to finish Glenesk and Call of the Siren… Continue reading A Sheep, A Shark, and a Camping Trip

Knitting My Way Up Mount Doom

July 8, 2018 quiteayarnblog6 Comments

As I mentioned earlier , I recently switched from working on Glenesk just during the weekends to working on it during the weeks, and switching other projects to the weekends.  Consequently, I am halfway done with the second sleeve in just a week. Emotionally, this felt to me like that part in Lord of the Rings:Return… Continue reading Knitting My Way Up Mount Doom

OT – Summer Flower Break!

July 5, 2018July 5, 2018 quiteayarnblog4 Comments

Hope everyone in the US had a good Independence Day! It was a busy but good day for me. In addition to a bunch of other household tasks, I got my stash resorted and reorganized, which was a nice relief! I also got a lot done on Glenesk, but more on that later this week.… Continue reading OT – Summer Flower Break!
