Delftig Mittens Finished

December 10, 2019 quiteayarnblog8 Comments

As I settled in to knit this evening, all I had left to do on my 2nd mitten was the thumb, and I had just one Time Team episode to do it. Could I finish? A mitten thumb is not a lot of knitting, but there were a lot of interruptions. So by the time… Continue reading Delftig Mittens Finished

Ixchel is Done!

December 2, 2018 quiteayarnblog20 Comments

I got finished knitting Ixchel earlier this week, then my Mom very kindly wove in my ends (I have an awesome Mom!).  I blocked it yesterday, and this morning it is ready to go!   I could not be happier with it.  There are one or two things I’d do differently if I was to make… Continue reading Ixchel is Done!

Halfway Off Sleeve Island

November 13, 2018 quiteayarnblog6 Comments

Got done with sleeve #1 this evening which watching the finale of the most recent season of the Great British Bake-Off!  I really just had the ribbing and bind-off to go, so it didn’t take too long.  I did try it on, and it fits really nicely, and the sleeve is just long enough, but… Continue reading Halfway Off Sleeve Island

Ixchel – Moon Phases Done!

October 10, 2018October 10, 2018 quiteayarnblog2 Comments

I finished the moon phases design sector of my Ixchel!  One more little band of stars, then the sleeves get separated off from the body.  Making progress!

Eek – Steeks!

June 5, 2018June 5, 2018 quiteayarnblog2 Comments

With the body knitted and the shoulder seams done, the next step on Glenesk was to cut the arm steeks and start the sleeves. Cut?  Knitting?  Yes.  I know – it freaked me out too, but it really isn’t hard.  Other than emotionally.  Emotionally it is very, very hard.  Physically, not so much. To answer… Continue reading Eek – Steeks!

Glenesk – Moving Right Along

March 30, 2018 quiteayarnblog4 Comments

Making decent progress on Glenesk so far – what you are looking at is one repeat of the pattern.  Now I just have to do that one and a half more times, and I add the steek stitches for the sleeves and start decreasing for the V neck.  And then sleeves and the neck &… Continue reading Glenesk – Moving Right Along

At Long Last, Glenesk

March 13, 2018March 13, 2018 quiteayarnblog4 Comments

Gauge swatch – actual footage! After having this pattern in my Ravelry queue for a little over two years, and having the kit for about a year and a half, I’m finally getting around to it! Glenesk is a stranded colorwork cardigan designed by Jade Starmore.  My original plan for this sweater was to get… Continue reading At Long Last, Glenesk

At Long Last, Something is Finished!

October 12, 2017 quiteayarnblog4 Comments

So, progress on all fronts! First, I have a FO to show off 🙂 My Hunting for Sasquatch KAL socks are done!  The pattern was well written and easy to follow, and the kit was very well done also.  The socks fit me, and I have a little yarn left – I’m wondering what to… Continue reading At Long Last, Something is Finished!

Progress With a Little Backtracking

October 5, 2017 quiteayarnblog5 Comments

Time for the midweek WIP report! First, the semi-success.  I finished the back of my colorwork top of many previous posts fame, and got started on the front! Right after taking this picture, I decided to get out the back to count the rows of ribbing I had done.  As I’m counting, I’m noticing that… Continue reading Progress With a Little Backtracking
