2018 Wrap-Up

January 1, 2019 quiteayarnblog9 Comments

2018 was a year with a lot of firsts and also a few ends. I went to my first Vogue Knitting Live and had a great time. I tried a lot of new techniques and fibers and generally got fairly adventurous. As far as ends, two dyers that I loved and bought from often –… Continue reading 2018 Wrap-Up

Glenesk is done!

August 6, 2018 quiteayarnblog10 Comments

Finally, it is done!  Completely finished and done! I was hoping for a scenic photoshoot this weekend, but that didn’t quite happen.  It’s hot and raining and we had a kind of a busy one.  Maybe at some point when it is cooler I will be someplace scenic with it on and get a nice… Continue reading Glenesk is done!

The 2nd Last Time You Will Hear About Glenesk – I Promise!

July 28, 2018July 28, 2018 quiteayarnblog7 Comments

The knitting part is done!  Whew! It is in for a soak right now so I can start blocking.  Then there’s just weaving in ends, doing the buttons, and a little bit more finishing.  So you’ll probably hear about it again when all that is done and I have a chance to do a nice… Continue reading The 2nd Last Time You Will Hear About Glenesk – I Promise!

Glenesk: One Step Forward, One Step Back

July 19, 2018 quiteayarnblog4 Comments

I have some progress to report on Glenesk – but not as much as I’d like.  I got the bottom band reknit, and in spite of the hassle it was, I’m glad I did.  When I started, I forgot to use the smaller needles and just dove right in.  As a result, the bottom band… Continue reading Glenesk: One Step Forward, One Step Back

A Farewell to Arms

July 17, 2018 quiteayarnblog9 Comments

The second sleeve is done! Yaaayyyy!!! I reinforced and cut the steek down to where the V neck starts, just to check for length and fit.  It fits, and the length is good.  Whew!  I did decide to redo the bottom band, though I soon wished I had decided differently.  That did not go smoothly… Continue reading A Farewell to Arms

A Sheep, A Shark, and a Camping Trip

July 12, 2018July 12, 2018 quiteayarnblog8 Comments

As I have mentioned several times before, I am kind of easily distracted.  It takes nothing more than a tantalizing project or yarn to pull me completely off of a carefully thought-out and solid knitting plan. Up until recently, I had such a plan.  I am going to finish Glenesk and Call of the Siren… Continue reading A Sheep, A Shark, and a Camping Trip

Knitting My Way Up Mount Doom

July 8, 2018 quiteayarnblog6 Comments

As I mentioned earlier , I recently switched from working on Glenesk just during the weekends to working on it during the weeks, and switching other projects to the weekends.  Consequently, I am halfway done with the second sleeve in just a week. Emotionally, this felt to me like that part in Lord of the Rings:Return… Continue reading Knitting My Way Up Mount Doom

Armed and Dangerous

July 2, 2018 quiteayarnblog6 Comments

Sleeve #1 of Glenesk is done! And I had enough knitting time left over last night that I could prep and cut the steek for the second sleeve, so I can get rolling on that one as well! Up until now, this has been weekend knitting only, because I wanted to have stretches of time… Continue reading Armed and Dangerous

Well, heading into Wednesday, anyway 😉 Of the three things I have going right now, I haven’t touched the entrelac kerchief this week, though I plan to do at least a bit over the next couple of days. I am well along on the first sleeve of Glenesk There is about 2/3 of the last… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs
