Shawl Design v1 is Done!

May 31, 2019 quiteayarnblog13 Comments

Version 1 of my shawl design is done. Whew! It’s not DONE done, but close. I have been working on this design for a while, picking out stitch patterns for the different bands I had in mind, but hadn’t put them together. Before I tried this with good yarn, I wanted to do one quick… Continue reading Shawl Design v1 is Done!

Knitter’s Bookshelf: Knitting Nature

May 31, 2019 quiteayarnblog2 Comments

A recent visit to our fabulous local used bookstore (Title Wave) netted me a copy of a book I have been wondering about but had never looked at. This is Knitting Nature by Norah Gaughan. It is not a new book by any means, having been published in 2006. It consists of 39 patterns designed… Continue reading Knitter’s Bookshelf: Knitting Nature

High Seas and Other Wacky Entertainment

May 28, 2019 quiteayarnblog7 Comments

I wrote a couple days ago about a shipboard murder mystery we were watching on Netflix called High Seas. We were about halfway through the series at that point. Well, we finished binge-watching the rest of the series Monday afternoon – it was pretty good! I won’t say spectacular, because there were bits that were… Continue reading High Seas and Other Wacky Entertainment

New Shawl Design – Section 3

May 27, 2019 quiteayarnblog2 Comments

It’s a crescent shawl, so it’s getting wider and wider, and the pattern bands are getting a little thinner 🙂 One more section to go, then the first version will be done! After this version finished, I am going to do a beaded version, then one in a different selection of yarns. Then it should… Continue reading New Shawl Design – Section 3

Swatching on the High Seas

May 27, 2019 quiteayarnblog1 Comment

Today was a pretty good day as far as getting some knitting done! Most of that was on my Forest Weave, but not all of it. Around midafternoon I realized I had complete flaked on my Custom Fit subscription for at least one, and possibly two, months. I have until the 31st to generate this… Continue reading Swatching on the High Seas

Yarn Chores

May 25, 2019 quiteayarnblog14 Comments

I didn’t get a whole lot of knitting in today. We had a little running around to do, and then when we got home, I had to get some yarn chores done. Mostly, this consisted of labeling balls of leftover yarn and putting them away. And gathering up stray skeins I got out of the… Continue reading Yarn Chores

May 24, 2019 quiteayarnblog4 Comments

The second section of my new shawl design is done! It’s coming together pretty well so far, though I have had some struggles here and there. I plan to work on Forest Weave the rest of the weekend, then on to the third section of my design. Have any plans for the long Memorial Day… Continue reading New Shawl Design Part 2

SE2SE #4 & 5 – I Need to Calm Down Now

May 24, 2019 quiteayarnblog13 Comments

The people who thought up this passport and sticker thing for getting us fiber people to support endangered breed sheep were marketing geniuses! It really makes you (me, anyway) want to collect them all! I got a little crazy there for a while. Skeins 4 and 5 recently showed up, so I thought I’d share… Continue reading SE2SE #4 & 5 – I Need to Calm Down Now

Project Progress

May 21, 2019 quiteayarnblog8 Comments

Forest Weave is moving along OK. I’m almost – but not quite – halfway done with the front… So that’s moving along pretty well! If I can stay on track with it OK, It should be done in a couple of weeks. There are just two big rectangles – back and front, and then two… Continue reading Project Progress
