All Shook Up

November 30, 2018December 1, 2018 quiteayarnblog11 Comments

In case you missed it, Anchorage (where I live) got hit with a 7.2 earthquake today at 8:29 this morning. We have been also getting aftershocks of varying magnitudes all day long – some of them pretty strong ones.  For the curious, you can check out the Alaska Earthquake observatory website here. Click on the… Continue reading All Shook Up

Startitis

November 29, 2018 quiteayarnblog6 Comments

I actually finished knitting Ixchel yesterday!  I don’t have a picture yet – my Mom kindly volunteered to weave in my ends ( I know! How nice was that of her!), and it still needs to be blocked, but otherwise, it’s done. 🙂  So in addition to starting Dolores’ new outfit, I also got a… Continue reading Startitis

Sensuous Ewe

November 28, 2018November 28, 2018 quiteayarnblog2 Comments

In spite of the fact that I have had two dress kits for her, poor Dolores has been languishing the same outfit since I finished her Rhinebeck dress and accessories in early September.  Since I recently finished some things, I decided it was time to get back to clothing her in the style to which… Continue reading Sensuous Ewe

Knitter’s Bookshelf: Amy Herzog’s Ultimate Sweater Book

November 27, 2018 quiteayarnblog6 Comments

I bought my copy of Amy Herzog’s new sweater book shortly after it came out around a month ago, and have been reading through it in bits and pieces ever since. In between there have been a few more books that have come out that I had to read (a new Rivers of London and… Continue reading Knitter’s Bookshelf: Amy Herzog’s Ultimate Sweater Book

Busy Day

November 26, 2018 quiteayarnblog4 Comments

In spite of having a day off, I got very little knitting done.  I did get some Christmas prep done, and also a few chores, so that was all good.  Clearing the deck for later this week!   But I have passed a milestone on Ixchel – the 2nd sleeve is done!  I did decide to… Continue reading Busy Day

Yarn shop review

Pop Up!

November 25, 2018 quiteayarnblog4 Comments

Guys!  We had a pop-up at our local yarn store!  That never happens here (or almost never), so it was pretty exciting.   I know lots of yarn shops in the lower 48 have this sort of event often – where visiting yarn dyers or manufacturers of some knit-related product visit for a day or a… Continue reading Pop Up!

Ixchel – Actual Progress

November 24, 2018 quiteayarnblog2 Comments

I am so close to done with my Ixchel – just a few more inches on the second sleeve to knit!   I have 8 more rows of plain knitting, then about 2 inches of ribbing, then casting off. So close! Of course then there’s weaving in ends, and blocking, and very possibly undoing the waist… Continue reading Ixchel – Actual Progress

Something’s Finally Done!

November 23, 2018 quiteayarnblog8 Comments

Tuck Stitch Cowl #2 is finally done!  The yarns are Freia Ombre Grande and A Tree Hugger’s Wife Soft DK. I didn’t really have a pattern, just used a stitch pattern and a generic number of stitches to work it on.  I’m pretty happy with how it turned out, and also happy to be done… Continue reading Something’s Finally Done!

I hope everyone who celebrates is having a happy Thanksgiving!  For everyone who does not celebrate this holiday – happy Thursday! Continuing on with my Thankful Thursday tradition, here are a few more things I am thankful for: I know I said family before, but wanted to elaborate on that. I have a pretty great… Continue reading Happy Thanksgiving!
