Something Actually Blocked Right Out

January 31, 2021 quiteayarnblog16 Comments

A while ago I started knitting an Op Tiki scarf (Ravelry link) with two SE2SE yarn. The knitting was going OK, though the scarf was curling itself into a tube, in spite of a garter stitch border. Since I am at the halfway point, I decided to block what I already had done just to… Continue reading Something Actually Blocked Right Out

Complications for No Good Reason?

I have been working on making up a sort of freeform scrappy shawl using a Halloween yarn advent set I got in 2019. The yarn theme is Nightmare Before Christmas, which is why I decided on a scrappy theme. So far, I have this It’s not much of a start, but it’s a start. A… Continue reading Complications for No Good Reason?

Sock It To Me Monday: Stationery Set

January 25, 2021January 25, 2021 quiteayarnblog21 Comments

Last week I started knitting the first of a pair of mismatch socks – the (Ravelry link) Stationery Set from Yarn Enabler. I bought this yarn a couple years ago, and I’m glad I did, as I don’t know that the dyer is still in business, though here is the link to her site anyway.… Continue reading Sock It To Me Monday: Stationery Set

Feelin’ Groovy

January 24, 2021 quiteayarnblog22 Comments

I started my second SE2SE project this week – the (Ravelry link) Op Tiki scarf/cowl. It’s going well so far! It is a slip stitch pattern, so the fabric is a bit wonky as you can see. From the examples on the pattern page it looks like the wonkiness will partially block out, but not… Continue reading Feelin’ Groovy

Round and Round

January 21, 2021January 21, 2021 quiteayarnblog15 Comments

Progress on my mobius cowl/shawl thing! Close up of the pattern so far I am about a week behind the pattern releases, but am feeling pretty OK about that. It was pretty straightforward for a while, but has just gotten a little crazy. I just started using stitch markers a couple rows ago, as when… Continue reading Round and Round

I mentioned last week that I had turned some birthday cash into some yarn – it got here today! Two more rare breed skeins complete with Shave ‘Em to Save ‘Em stickers, from Shaggy Bear Farms. They were a vendor at this month’s VK Live, and I found them via poking around in the vendor… Continue reading A Few Skeins More

It was Vogue Knitting Live this past weekend, and I participated again, though only took one class. What I did do this time that I haven’t done much of before is participate in the extra events that attendees can go to for free. North Light Fibers did a little video tour of Block Island RI,… Continue reading Vogue Knitting Live Weekend!

Mohair Stripes Done!

January 17, 2021January 18, 2021 quiteayarnblog12 Comments

The mohair striped monster is done! It’s folded up here because this thing is massive. It’s longer than I am tall by quite a bit. Granted, I am pretty short, but still. And also it is wide. I tried it on and I have to wear it looped around a couple times to avoid looking… Continue reading Mohair Stripes Done!
