Double-Pass Technique

May 15, 2021 quiteayarnblog21 Comments

I took a VK Live class this morning on a technique I have been looking into for a while. It doesn’t seem to have a formal name, though the teacher of this class called it the double-pass technique. Essentially, you are working with two colors of yarn, and instead of working two rows (back and… Continue reading Double-Pass Technique

Baltic Binge at VK Live

February 12, 2021 quiteayarnblog12 Comments

Another month, another Vogue Knitting Live! This month, I lined up early morning classes for Thursday, Friday and Saturday. How early? 10 – 12 Eastern time, which is 6 – 8 Alaska time. Plus side I didn’t have to take any time off from work. Minus side – that means getting up at 5:30, which… Continue reading Baltic Binge at VK Live

It was Vogue Knitting Live this past weekend, and I participated again, though only took one class. What I did do this time that I haven’t done much of before is participate in the extra events that attendees can go to for free. North Light Fibers did a little video tour of Block Island RI,… Continue reading Vogue Knitting Live Weekend!

The class is on mattress stitching, and asks you to do swatches ahead of time. 2 or 4 like the square one, and one of the triangle. The square swatches have me a bit… Continue reading Homework

VK Live 3 – Last Post on This, I Swear

September 27, 2018September 27, 2018 quiteayarnblog2 Comments

Before I stop going on about VK Live in San Francisco, I did want to tell you about the two other classes I took. Saturday morning was Color Interaction in Fair Isle, which was taught by Mary Jane Mucklestone. She gave us each 6 skeins of Jamieson’s Shetland Spindrift (there was a materials fee for… Continue reading VK Live 3 – Last Post on This, I Swear

VK Live 2 – The Shoppening

September 26, 2018 quiteayarnblog12 Comments

In addition to the classes and the pervasive knittiness in the air, the other great thing about this event was the shopping.  The vendor room was BIG – a whole grand ballroom – and the list of vendors was 2 double-column pages long.  So much yarn! Of course, not every shop was going to be… Continue reading VK Live 2 – The Shoppening
