June 7, 2018June 7, 2018 quiteayarnblog8 Comments

Since I last wrote about my latest efforts in the field of knitting cryptology, I actually finished clue 1 of my Call of the Siren shawl!

Just in time to start the next KAL 🙂  But first, a little work on Glenesk. What are… Continue reading Ta Dah!

It was a crazy week, but I did get about halfway done with the second Nessie sock No Nessie sightings for this clue, but there are two children of Nessie on the foot of this sock.  Next week they should start to show up!

Nessie Sighting!

Finally done with my first Nessie sock!

Coming Attractions!

March 23, 2018 quiteayarnblog4 Comments

This is one of those times when I totally get how people have “startitis.” My current knitting is exactly the same as the last several times I wrote, and I’m boring myself even thinking about what to say about it right now. So instead of telling you even more about the things I am continuing… Continue reading Coming Attractions!
