Chevrons This Way and That

April 30, 2019 quiteayarnblog7 Comments

Thanks to everyone who weighed in on the stockinette vs. garter question on this chevron section! I did decide to just keep going and mirror the sections. I hate the garter parts less now that there are a few more repeats of the stitch pattern, though I still think the stockinette parts definitely look better… Continue reading Chevrons This Way and That

Swatch Storage

April 29, 2019 quiteayarnblog14 Comments

With all these experiments and random knitting exercises I’m doing lately, I have run into a new problem – random swatch storage. When I do a swatch or two for a specific project, the swatch usually gets stored in the page protector with the pattern and at least one yarn label. But all of a… Continue reading Swatch Storage

Mosaic Knitting – the Plot Thickens

April 28, 2019 quiteayarnblog6 Comments

Now that I’m into the central section, I decided to try the chevron pattern two different ways – one repeat of garter and one of stockinette. Here is how that turned out… I think in this section the pattern is much clearer in the stockinette section, though the garter part is interesting in its own… Continue reading Mosaic Knitting – the Plot Thickens

Meandering Through the Mosaic

April 27, 2019 quiteayarnblog10 Comments

The dilemma with chores is always – should I totally wreck one evening, or wreck all the evenings a little bit each? I normally go for the “wreck every evening a little bit” option. This week I tried the other way. It was no fun at all on chore night, but has left me free… Continue reading Meandering Through the Mosaic

Mosaic Knitting

April 25, 2019 quiteayarnblog10 Comments

It was a chore night, so I didn’t get a lot of time to work on my Colorshift Mosaic Cowl. A little, but not a lot. It is going pretty well! The pattern is a little bit of a difficulty, but I can look at the project photo and work out what is supposed to… Continue reading Mosaic Knitting

SE2SE Yarn #2 – Jacob

April 24, 2019 quiteayarnblog5 Comments

I may have gone a little crazy right out of the gate in looking for SE2SE yarns. My second find is a skein of lovely yarn from the Jacob breed. This comes from the Havencroft farm, through their Etsy shop. Jen also sent me a small sample of homespun of one of their sheep’s dark… Continue reading SE2SE Yarn #2 – Jacob

Colorshift Plan Shift

April 22, 2019April 23, 2019 quiteayarnblog4 Comments

Thank you to everyone who ventured an opinion on the colors I auditioned to start a Colorshift Mosaic Cowl. The votes were more or less split between the options I was thinking about, and I remained as undecided as I was when the process started. However, Karen of nothingbutknit had an excellent suggestion for mixing… Continue reading Colorshift Plan Shift

Tunis – My First SE2SE Yarn

April 21, 2019April 21, 2019 quiteayarnblog8 Comments

I wrote a couple weeks ago about signing up as a fiber artist with the Livestock Conservancy’s Shave ‘Em to Save ‘Em program. As soon as I got signed up, I began the hunt for endangered breed yarns! You might imagine that it takes a little looking, and you would be right. The Livestock Conservancy… Continue reading Tunis – My First SE2SE Yarn

Color Auditions

April 20, 2019 quiteayarnblog18 Comments

Find Your Fade is in timeout for a little bit. Just too much garter for too long. I finished the section I was in, but need a little recovery time before I go back in. I’ve been wanted to try out mosaic knitting, so found a cowl pattern that has been in my library for… Continue reading Color Auditions
