We have had a busy time of it the last couple days – work is busy, a bunch of chores suddenly had to be done, Christmas shopping to be done… you know how it is. You may very well be in the same boat! Anyway, I have not had anything like as much time to… Continue reading Busy Time!

So Much for Focus

November 6, 2019 quiteayarnblog16 Comments

It’s been a bit of a week so far, so I gave myself permission to start a new project rather than the socks or Perfect Blend. One of these projects will be going in to work with me for a lunchtime project, but not quite yet. Anyway. I started a project using a new-to-me technique… Continue reading So Much for Focus

When the design first got published, the photos included… Continue reading Totally Tubular Mittens Done!

Not much knitting news to tell today. Did not have as much knitting time as I hoped I would – got up to where the thumb stitches get set aside. May be able to get finished tomorrow.

Thrumming? What Now?

February 26, 2018February 26, 2018 quiteayarnblog9 Comments

In my previous post, I mentioned thrumming, without going much into what exactly that means.  Basically, thrumming is a means of padding or thickening knitting by knitting little puffs of fleece into the fabric you are creating.  The advantage to this is that it creates an extra layer of insulation.  As the wearer uses the… Continue reading Thrumming?

Frogging, Thrumming, and Dithering

February 20, 2018February 20, 2018 quiteayarnblogLeave a comment

I’ve had a little bit of activity this past weekend.  First I finished a pair of slippers for my Mom, which she is happy with and consequently so am I 🙂 Then a little bit of reality intruded on my grand plans.  Remember the Princess Line sweater of last year fame?  That I started out… Continue reading Frogging, Thrumming, and Dithering
