Time for Another…

May 11, 2022 quiteayarnblog13 Comments

This month’s Tea Adventure box from August Uncommon is based on a floral theme. Here is the tea I got in this box… I haven’t tried any of them yet as we didn’t get the mail until a bit later, and did not have time this evening. However, I did smell them all, and they… Continue reading Time for Another…

Seward Pics!

These are all of Resurrection Bay While we were in town, there was a landslide that completely cut off part of town. No one was hurt, fortunately, but it has left some people stranded. More about it here

And Then?

January 10, 2022 quiteayarnblog18 Comments

Yet again, I have two biggish projects going, both moving along reasonably well. And yet the progress is not photogenic, really. I’ll post update pictures on WIP Wednesday, but there’s not much exciting there. In terms of knitting, the projects are a biggish stockinette top and a biggish garter stitch shawl start. So I need… Continue reading And Then?

2021 in Review

January 3, 2022 quiteayarnblog23 Comments

2021 was a really mixed year for me. I did do a reasonable amount of making:– 7 shawls – 6 pairs of socks– 6 cowls– 2 sweaters– 2 pairs of mitts– 1 scarf– 1 hat Not a terrible amount to get done, but also not stellar. I tried yarn tastings by mail and Zoom, which… Continue reading 2021 in Review

It is from Fangirl Fibers, and the theme is Marshmallow World. It is 11 20g. miniskeins and 1 full skein. They aren’t traditional… Continue reading Advents

Countdown

December 12, 2021 quiteayarnblog12 Comments

Wow! One thing led to another this week, and when I looked up it had been four days since I blogged! Part of the reason is there isn’t much new happening in my knitting life. Same socks for DH and Arrowhead cardigan as the last time I talked about it. I am making progress, but… Continue reading Countdown

Suddenly – Christmas Spirit All Over the Place

December 8, 2021 quiteayarnblog18 Comments

I finished my bulky brioche Christmas cowl last night! This is going to be a last minute present for my Mom, so it was great to be able to get that done so quickly 🙂 Also, we put our lights up last weekend. They are so bright and cheerful, I sometimes go outside for a… Continue reading Suddenly – Christmas Spirit All Over the Place

End of a Busy Day

We had an unexpectedly busy day today, with a lot of running errands and chores. But I did get to sit and knit for a little bit and enjoy our Christmas lights! And Punky helped 🙂

Countdown To Christmas

December 1, 2021 quiteayarnblog16 Comments

I don’t do Christmas advents all that often, but this year there were two I couldn’t resist – one tea and one yarn (of course). The tea one is from the Dollar Tea Club. It is looking promising so far! It started today with one biggish package of a black tea called Amaretto Blush. I… Continue reading Countdown To Christmas
