Moose!

As Liz at Highland Heffalump said “There’s a moose loose about your hoose!” This guy was just over the fence from my yard. It’s always a thrill to see them wandering around 🙂

Agriculture Report

My flowers are all blooming away or getting ready to. That’s a big relief, as there were some that I didn’t think were going to make it earlier this summer.

The Tangled Skein

Nope, not a yarn-based tragedy, but rather a yarn shop near Anchorage! In spite of this shop being in the next town over (Eagle River, for those familiar with Anchorage and its environs), I have never been to this shop until today. We have some perfectly good yarn shops in Anchorage, so it hasn’t been… Continue reading The Tangled Skein

Quite a Few Weeks

Whew!  It’s been a whirlwind couple of weeks since I last posted.  Week before last, I was on a work trip, where no notable knit-related things happened.  The trip was to a town without a yarn shop or much of a knitting community as far as I could see.  However, I did finish two small… Continue reading Quite a Few Weeks

Wooly Mammoth – new shop!

May 30, 2016June 1, 2016 quiteayarnblog3 Comments

  An exciting new yarn shop just opened up in Anchorage – Wooly Mammoth!  For anybody familiar with the downtown Anchorage shops, Wooly Mammoth is an offshoot of Quilted Raven, which is right across the street.  For anybody not familiar with Anchorage downtown shops, Quilted Raven is an awesome Alaska theme quilt/sewing/fabric shop, well worth… Continue reading Wooly Mammoth – new shop!
