Wednesday WIP

June 30, 2021 quiteayarnblog10 Comments

Other than the EM socks, my only current WIP is my Patina scarf. I decided to change things up on this project, and the result is that I’m almost done! This is supposed to be a nifty scarf with some clever design features and uses 2 100g balls of Schoppel Wool Gradient. This then gets… Continue reading Wednesday WIP

Sock It To Me Monday

June 28, 2021 quiteayarnblog10 Comments

Yup – still working on my Elizabeth Montague socks! However, now that I finished Bonbori, I’m expecting things to move along a bit quicker 🙂 There are two options with these socks, normal length or knee length. I decided on knee length, because I don’t have many longer pairs of socks and it is a… Continue reading Sock It To Me Monday

Something is Finally Done

I finally finished my Bonbori wrap! The pattern is Bonbori (Ravelry link) by Olga Buraya-Kefelian Here it is being blocked – see how it stretches on forever? This one shows the size difference between the small bubbles at the start and how large they are at the end. And finally, yarn chicken report – here’s… Continue reading Something is Finally Done

For the first time in a couple of years, we went out to the zoo today! We’ve been pretty jazzed to get out of the house a little more now that restrictions are pretty much lifted in Anchorage, and there are a whole bunch of new baby animals to check out. There are currently 2… Continue reading Out and About: Alaska Zoo

Finally at the beginning of the end of my Bonbori! By the pattern, there are actually 40 more rows to go, but I ran out of one of the yarn colors, so I’m calling it. Now I just have to knit about a mile more of i-cord bind off. Then there’s blocking, which is going… Continue reading Almost……..there!

Floral Report

We finally have some flowers blooming here! The lilacs we planted a few years ago lived through their second winter and are blooming again! Our hanging baskets, pots and the walkway are starting to bloom, though they are still a little thin. At least now I have a little hope 🙂 And last but certainly… Continue reading Floral Report

Still working on the Elizabeth Montague socks from KDD’s Bluestocking club. It’s actually a pretty quick and fun knit, but I’ve been trying to focus on Bonbori so I can get done with the darn thing! Anyway. EM socks are coming along – the heels are turned! This pattern uses a heel that I had… Continue reading Sock It To Me Monday
