Marlisle Mitts – Insiders View

November 30, 2019December 1, 2019 quiteayarnblog8 Comments

Now that I have finished the first Delftig mitten and started the second, I can show you the inside (or back) of the knitting along with the outside (or front). Since they are knit in the round, the inside of the hand is sort of where all the magic happens to make the pattern. Here… Continue reading Marlisle Mitts – Insiders View

This quiz is stolen borrowed from Karen at Nothing But Knit – she often has nifty quizzes along with other interesting content. Check out her blog! Today is Black Friday, the traditional start of the holiday shopping season. How about a quiz to get us through the craziness? Do you shop the sales on Black… Continue reading Black Friday Quiz

This is somewhat late in the day, but hope everyone had either a Happy Thanksgiving or a very good Thursday. Or both!

Marlisle Mitts Progress

November 27, 2019 quiteayarnblog6 Comments

Now that everything is settling back down somewhat, I have been working away on my Delftig mitts. They are moving along pretty well – in about 10 rows or so the decreases begin for the top. The waste stitches you see on the palm side are where the afterthought thumb goes. The thumbs get knit… Continue reading Marlisle Mitts Progress

Cowl About Town

November 26, 2019November 26, 2019 quiteayarnblog8 Comments

Before we left on our trip last week, I spent a fair amount of time fretting about what projects to take along with me, coming up with pros and cons for all the possibilities. As usual, I wound up over-yarning by quite a bit. I wound up taking along my Delftig marlisle mittens, the yarn… Continue reading Cowl About Town

Viva Las Vegas! (warning – photo heavy)

November 24, 2019November 24, 2019 quiteayarnblog12 Comments

I had a fair amount of fun in Las Vegas this week, entirely aside from my visit to Sin City Knits 🙂 I’m not a gambler, and none of the big shows going on while we were there were of much interest to us. However, there are always things to do there. We stayed at… Continue reading Viva Las Vegas! (warning – photo heavy)

Sin City Knit Shop

Well, now that we are back again, I can tell you about last week’s trip – to fabulous Las Vegas Nevada! DH’s company sent him and three coworkers to AutoCAD University for the week, and I got to tag along. We just had to cover my flight and meals, making it an irresistible bargain. We… Continue reading Sin City Knit Shop

Thankful Thursday

November 21, 2019 quiteayarnblog9 Comments

I have a lot of things to be thankful for this week! Here are the ones I can think of right now, in no particular order: 80’s music, and particular 80’s music accessible on YouTube. Why yes, I am listening to some of it right now, as it happens! Alaska Airlines. They get it done… Continue reading Thankful Thursday

Knitting Quiz

November 19, 2019 quiteayarnblog8 Comments

Thanks to Alissa at Headknits for sharing this quiz! 1. Share an image of a knitting pattern you love but would probably never knit. I love this guy – Yeti for Bed from Interweave Knits. I love his expression and his little union suit and bunny slippers! But I will probably never make him. Though… Continue reading Knitting Quiz
