Monday Mittens

March 7, 2022 quiteayarnblog7 Comments

I got a very small start on my Mom’s Christmas mittens! The pattern is Christmas Feeling (Ravelry link), and the yarn is Knit Picks Palette in Garnet Heather, Cream and Ivy. I probably won’t post a lot about these until they are given and opened. I’m relatively sure my Mom does not read my blog,… Continue reading Monday Mittens

Busy Time!

December 7, 2019 quiteayarnblog7 Comments

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

Totally Tubular Mittens Done!

May 12, 2019 quiteayarnblog11 Comments

Mittens are done! These were quick and easy to knit, and have a nifty finish. The pattern is Totally Tubular Mittens, and the yarn is Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran in the poetically named color 300601. Whatever it is called, it is a bright and cheery red! When the design first got published, the photos included… Continue reading Totally Tubular Mittens Done!

Hey, you know when’s a really good time to get some knitting in? During printer installation. 😛

May 10, 2019 quiteayarnblog1 Comment

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. It will depend, as always, on the amount of free time available! Hope your weekend is off to… Continue reading Mitten Knittin’

May is here, and with it a new project and new technique for the AC Knitwear Boost Your Knitting. This month, it is a pair of mittens that start with the tubular cast on.

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
