Seaglass & Seashells

March 3, 2019 quiteayarnblog5 Comments

Just got a very happy package from Scotland the other day – lovely stitch markers from Liz at Highlandheffalump! They are even prettier in person than in photos, and they work beautifully – no snagging, and they are very light as well. Love them!

Iditarod Start!

March 2, 2019 quiteayarnblog10 Comments

Today was the ceremonial start of the Iditarod sled dog race in downtown Anchorage! DH and I went to enjoy part of the start, and to take in a little more Fur Rondy wackiness. The ceremonial start goes right through Anchorage, starting in the heart of downtown and going more or less diagonally across the… Continue reading Iditarod Start!

Almost FO Friday

March 1, 2019 quiteayarnblog4 Comments

My cowl design is coming along reasonably well! I had to rip back and try different things a couple of times, but that is OK. It has been an interesting process so far. I still have a bit to go, but not too much more. The first Year of Techniques project came out today, but… Continue reading Almost FO Friday

Yet Again – Totally Focused

February 27, 2019 quiteayarnblog18 Comments

Aaaand – SQUIRREL! Yet again, my plan and my focus are being thrown out the window because of a shiny thing that came into my field of view. What is it this time? This time it is Boost Your Knitting: Another Year of Techniques by Arnall-Culliford Knitwear. As the name implies, it is a year’s… Continue reading Yet Again – Totally Focused

Valentine Tea Box

February 26, 2019February 26, 2019 quiteayarnblog9 Comments

My February Harney & Sons tea club shipment arrived the other day. As you can see, they went the romance route with Valentine themed teas 🙂 The extra little samples this month were a Verbena Mint herbal, Japanese Sencha, and Rooibos Chai. The herbal one was very good – the verbena tones the mint down… Continue reading Valentine Tea Box

I got a little bit done on the cowl design today. Not a lot, but some. It’s just about to get interesting, I think. I hope, anyway!

Wacky Alaska Fun

February 24, 2019 quiteayarnblog8 Comments

Yesterday was the kickoff of our local winter carnival, Fur Rondy (short for Rondezvous), so Dave (DH) and I went downtown to take in some of fun. Every year we go to the parade, where our big occupation is counting the beauty queens. This year there were 41! When we first got here, we were… Continue reading Wacky Alaska Fun

TGIF!

February 22, 2019February 22, 2019 quiteayarnblog10 Comments

Managed to get some knitting time in this evening, and got some done on my Find Your Fade. I’m a few rows into the Gin and Tonic section, and am really loving the color so far! The yarn is Madelinetosh’s Tosh Merino Light, and I am really enjoying this yarn. The colors are gorgeous, and… Continue reading TGIF!

Scenery

February 21, 2019 quiteayarnblog6 Comments

I got virtually no knitting done today – it was nutty at work and nutty at home. So instead, please enjoy some scenery from this week in Anchorage! Some drama clouds over the mountain range to the east of Anchorage. This is out one of the windows of the building where I work. Zoomed a… Continue reading Scenery
