OT: Unexpected Teatour

January 30, 2019 quiteayarnblog8 Comments

You know how sometimes it becomes generally known that you like something, and then that is the thing that people give you? Like people that are vocal about loving chocolate get chocolate for presents? Well, apparently I am the crazy tea lady at work. Which I am totally fine with, because it results in people… Continue reading OT: Unexpected Teatour

Fading Back In

Took a break from exercises tonight to pick back up with my Find Your Fade. It has been so gray and cold and bleah, I needed a shot of color!

A Hex On Your Motifs Part 2

January 28, 2019 quiteayarnblog8 Comments

A couple weeks ago, I wrote about how I was attempting to design knitting motifs based on hex signs. The exercise is part of the Knitting Seasons creativity thing I have been doing. The hex signs are because I am from eastern Pennsylvania, and am in fact of Pennsylvania German heritage. So hex signs were… Continue reading A Hex On Your Motifs Part 2

Knitting Season Week 2

January 27, 2019 quiteayarnblog3 Comments

Sorry for the couple day absence – like much of the US we have been swept up in Marie Kondoing our house. It is much more physically and emotionally exhausting than the show makes it look 🙂 We are taking it pretty slowly, but making some progress. Undoubtedly this is going to take a while.… Continue reading Knitting Season Week 2

Cats Just See Napping Spots

January 24, 2019 quiteayarnblog5 Comments

I have spent so much time rummaging around in my scraps bin lately that I moved it out of the crafty storage area and put it in our room in an out-of-the-way area so I can get at it more easily. Then the cats started laying on it, naturally, because what else would you do… Continue reading Cats Just See Napping Spots

Knitting Season Progress

January 23, 2019 quiteayarnblog4 Comments

A little more sense is arising from the yarny chaos of earlier this week. One thing is moving along more or less as I had hoped, one is going back to the drawing board, and one is just interesting. The leaf motif is going back to the drawing board. I went to swatch it, and… Continue reading Knitting Season Progress

OT: Tea for Two – the January Shipment

January 22, 2019 quiteayarnblog2 Comments

As I mentioned last month, my DH got me a tea-of-the-month club subscription from Harney & Sons for Christmas last year. Yesterday I got my first regular shipment! I did have concerns as to whether tea was going to be coming in huge shipments such that I would not be able to drink it all.… Continue reading OT: Tea for Two – the January Shipment

Sample Gansey Progress

January 20, 2019 quiteayarnblog11 Comments

I didn’t have a lot of knitting time today, as I had to get some chores done, and we had a few more errands to run, but I did get a little time in on the sample gansey, aka Dolores’ gansey. One of the features of ganseys is adding the wearer’s initials on the bottom… Continue reading Sample Gansey Progress
