A couple weeks ago, I saw this yarn from Old Crow ArtYarns on Etsy: I love What We Do In the Shadows, and it’s pretty yarn, so I bought it. Then when it showed up, I thought it would be cool to use for something with a bat pattern. So I found this cowl pattern… Continue reading Cool Idea Sadly Gone Wrong

Arachne Progress

I’m just starting the webbing on the first sleeve! I had done 5 or so rows on it, then realized I had messed up the spacing. So I took it back to where I started, did some mathing, and now I think it’s right. It’s not going to narrow very much, because by this end… Continue reading Arachne Progress

Just 2 1/2 Years Later

May 25, 2020May 25, 2020 quiteayarnblog17 Comments

In October 2017, I bought and read a book called Dimensional Tuck Knitting by Tracy Purtscher, which is about a new technique she developed for creating texture in knitted fabric. Today I took another day off from production knitting to just play around, and this time I finally got around to trying out some of… Continue reading Just 2 1/2 Years Later

As usual, please forgive the terrible indoor nighttime light. It’s not done done – it’s blocking right now, and I need to weave in a few ends. But mostly, it’s done!

I decided to leave the body on scrap yarn for a while and finish off the sleeves, then go back and finish the body. The first sleeve is going fine – just plain stockinette, so it’s sailing along. I plan to keep trying it on though, to make sure the forearm webbing goes where I… Continue reading Arachne Progress

I’m getting ready for Sarah at mildlygranola‘s Rainbow sock KAL next month by fishing around in my stash for skeins that will do. I don’t have any self-striping rainbow, but I do have some rainbow variegated sock yarns. The top skein is Radioactive Rainbow from Knitted Wit. I have seen it knitted up, and it… Continue reading Rainbow Sock Choices
