Only Murders On this Blog

October 31, 2021October 31, 2021 quiteayarnblog14 Comments

DH and I were just off for a short getaway, so while I do have knitting news to report, it’s not photo-ready quite yet. What I did want to talk about is a show I have been watching and book I recently read. If you like cozy mysteries, true crime podcasts, and/or New York, you… Continue reading Only Murders On this Blog

Tea For Two: Sips by

October 28, 2021 quiteayarnblog2 Comments

I’m trying out some tea sample boxes from a new-to-me online tea shop – Sips by. Their big thing seems to monthly subscriptions, but that isn’t what I did, at least not yet. In addition to the subscriptions, they also sell themed sample boxes, and also just individual teas. I lucked into a good discount… Continue reading Tea For Two: Sips by

Wednesday WIP

Now that the eternal Halloween socks are done, I decided to focus on my Betwixt shawl for this week. It won’t be finished by the end of the week, but I am making some good progress. I’ve only got about a little more of the mosaic pattern to go, then it’s on to the skull… Continue reading Wednesday WIP

Sock It To Me Monday: Fright Nights Done!

October 25, 2021 quiteayarnblog24 Comments

My Fright Night socks are done! They turned out pretty well, and I’m thrilled to have them done in time for Halloween 🙂 The stitching is a little loose in the colorwork section, but I suspect that will even out once they are blocked.

Third Time Lucky

In the end I went up to US 2.5 needles for the colorwork part and knitted really loosely, but it fits! Once the colorwork was done I went to a 1.5 for the ribbing, and have about another inch and a half on that. Yaaaayyy! And then I have to finish the other one, of… Continue reading Third Time Lucky

26 Years

October 21, 2021October 21, 2021 quiteayarnblog14 Comments

26 happy years with this guy…Dave, not the animatronic dinosaur 🙂 We had a nice dinner out last night and have a short weekend getaway planned for a few weeks from now, and he sent me our usual spooky/cute anniversary flowers I’m hoping for another 26!

My Betwixt shawl is moving along! I’m just starting the big pattern band toward the end of the mosaic section. It’s an enjoyable knit so far, and I’m happy with how it’s turning out 🙂

Knit Stars is an online series of masterclasses with various knitting teachers and designers. Each year a set of teachers is selected, and their classes are filmed in their homes and/or studios, which is kind of different. One of the best things about these classes is that you own them. You can watch them and… Continue reading Knit Stars

Super Lazy Weekend

October 17, 2021 quiteayarnblog15 Comments

I had all kinds of big plans this weekend. A hike somewhere scenic! Kondoing our garage! Reorganizing my stash! What did I actually do? Caught up on TV shows, ran one (1) errand, and knitted. Oh well – now I’m recharged to do all those things next week. Maybe. How was your weekend? Productive or… Continue reading Super Lazy Weekend
