Well, I’m tired of thinking about my Melville sweater, and I bet you are tired of reading about. So instead, here’s what’s next! The Peggy Sue cardigan is next in my project lineup! (photo is from the directions – much better images at the link) I bought the kit for this sweater years ago when… Continue reading What’s Next?
We took advantage of the long weekend and some beautiful weather to get a few projects done around the house. First, a long awaited redo of our entry landing floor. We just put down new linoleum tile, but for some reason it took us a really long time between buying the tiles and actually doing… Continue reading Busy Weekend
Still plugging away at Melville! The body and neckline are done and there’s just a few more rows to do on the ribbing, then the sleeves. I am going to start one sleeve tomorrow and hopefully make good progress. They are plain stockinette with a little bit of texture here and there, so they should… Continue reading And Then There Was One
The pattern is Worst Witch shawl, designed by Vanessa Ewing of Cape May Fiber Co. and the yarn is a mini set of the same name, also from Vanessa.

Warning – this post will be picture heavy! This past weekend Mr QuiteaYarn and I got started on this year’s yard and garden projects. We started with some easy stuff – adding a little sun dial to a stump we have in the back yard with no other purpose as yet, and putting some flower… Continue reading The Yardening Begins
I’m still working on the same two projects as last week, but they are both moving along pretty well! Thee are only 2 rows of colorwork left on Melville! And then of course there’s the ribbing and neckband and sleeves, but I feel like the complicated part is almost done, so that feels like good… Continue reading Weekly WIPs
For some reason, May is a month with a lot of fiber arts related challenges going on. Just for fun, I will see how many of them I can participate in without making any serious effort. Me-Made-May has been around for a while, and is just a challenge to wear and share images of yourself… Continue reading A Challenging Month
