Sock Progress

August 30, 2019 quiteayarnblog11 Comments

Making good progress on my Soft Pretzel socks! I am halfway done with the leg part, so 3 more inches of pattern knitting, then 12 rows of ribbing, and done! Shortly after I finish these, I am going to do a pair for my SIL (brother’s wife) as well. Mom ordered a kit for her… Continue reading Sock Progress

AK State Fair!

August 28, 2019 quiteayarnblog21 Comments

Yesterday DH, my Mom and I all went out the Alaska State Fair for the day! Our big fair food treat is deep-fried cheese curds, which we got and ate as soon as we got in the gate. The same stand sells my DH’s favorite treat – pork-chop-on-a-stick. I get *one* bite of the pork… Continue reading AK State Fair!

We had our day at the fair today, and I am beat! Will do a full report tomorrow. But for today I will leave you with this news from the world of big Alaska vegetables!

Just Another Day

August 27, 2019 quiteayarnblog6 Comments

And just another song title! But it pretty much was. I’m moving along OK on the socks, but there’s nothing startling happening there. Tomorrow DH and I took the day off, and he and Mom and I are heading out to the AK State Fair! So I should have something a bit more interesting to… Continue reading Just Another Day

To Every Heel Turn, Turn, Turn

August 25, 2019 quiteayarnblog9 Comments

The heels of my Soft Pretzel socks are turned! I was a little worried, as I read the directions twice and parts of it seemed a little weird. But then when I just got in there and did it, it worked out fine. Here is the nifty patterned back of the heel… And here once… Continue reading To Every Heel Turn, Turn, Turn

Decision, Decisions

August 24, 2019August 24, 2019 quiteayarnblog16 Comments

I’m planning on going to a knitting convention next year, and I’m stuck between going to a Vogue Knitting Live again, or trying out a Stitches convention. I know I like VK Live, but the Stitches conventions might be pretty good too. So I’m looking for opinions – have you been to a Stitches? If… Continue reading Decision, Decisions

Back to the Socks

August 23, 2019 quiteayarnblog10 Comments

Tonight I got back to my Soft Pretzel socks, and got some pretty good progress in. I have about 8 rows left of foot and adding to the gussets, then on to the heels! I tried them on again this evening, and they are fitting really beautifully! Here is a kind of blurry shot of… Continue reading Back to the Socks

And Round

August 22, 2019August 22, 2019 quiteayarnblog5 Comments

Moebius* cowl done! This picture is as it fell of the needles – you can still see my patented lack of weaving in the ends just there at the top. It’s blocking right now, and then the ends will get woven in. Maybe. As a side note, I just realized I spelled it wrong for… Continue reading And Round

Round and Round

August 21, 2019 quiteayarnblog8 Comments

Guys! I just tried mobius knitting, and it is really not that hard! Mobius knitting is one of those things I always meant to get around to, but never did. Partially because it seemed confusing, partially because there are so many other things to knit. But this is the Year of Techniques so everything is… Continue reading Round and Round
