Juneau and Back Again

February 28, 2020 quiteayarnblog17 Comments

This week was my first work trip now that I’m back in the role where I have to travel again. I went to scenic Juneau, our damp but lovely state capital. I got there on Monday, and had a little time to wander around before getting to the work part of the visit. By sheer… Continue reading Juneau and Back Again

Sock It To Me Monday

February 24, 2020February 23, 2020 quiteayarnblog8 Comments

This week I started my second of hopefully six pairs of socks for this year – 3D Shark Socks! The toes, heels, and ribbing are the white with red speckles, and the rest is the shark gray. The shark is done in texture and a little bit of lace stitching on the leg part, so… Continue reading Sock It To Me Monday

Packing

February 23, 2020 quiteayarnblog12 Comments

Tomorrow I am off on my first work trip for this go-round. This time it’s to Juneau, AK. I get there tomorrow morning, and will hopefully be home Thursday night, knock wood. Other than the work part of the time there, my entire planning for this trip has been yarn-based. What am I wearing? Who… Continue reading Packing

Bam! Booties

Last night DH and I got our taxes done. (We have the wildest Friday nights!) We have a tax preparer we have gone to for the last couple years – she does a great job and is very pleasant as well. Well, this year she is pregnant! Very much so – she is due in… Continue reading Bam! Booties

Style: Conservative or Crazy?

February 20, 2020 quiteayarnblog22 Comments

I have been thinking about personal style a lot lately. Making a bunch of your own garments will sometimes do that. You’re spending a LOT of time on this – it’s a good idea to be sure of your choices before you make that investment. Anyway, my main style dilemma is this – I’m most… Continue reading Style: Conservative or Crazy?

Sleeve Island

February 18, 2020 quiteayarnblog12 Comments

The Dockside Cardigan sleeves are coming along – only 6 more inches to go before the sleeve cap shaping! I am hoping to get these done this week, though we shall see. Next week I start back into the work travel that I previously thought I was done with. As it turns out, not so… Continue reading Sleeve Island

On Your Mark

February 16, 2020 quiteayarnblog18 Comments

I’m a bit over halfway with my Dockside cardigan sleeves, and going out of my mind with boredom at the miles and miles of stockinette. So I decided to give myself little breaks over the course of the day, and get my stitch markers organized. I put them in a bead/findings box that was originally… Continue reading On Your Mark

Squirrel!

February 15, 2020 quiteayarnblog16 Comments

Well, the Dockside cardigan is moving along fine. The fronts are blocked without incident and the sleeves are started as well. Since I don’t really have to do any thinking about that, my mind is wandering to upcoming projects. I also don’t have to think about the very next projects – that is going to… Continue reading Squirrel!
