there's just something about yarn...

Knitwear Design

Quince & Co. Chickadee

November 26, 2013

Quince & Co. Chickadee in Belize, Sedum & Petal

I received my order from Quince & Co. yesterday! It was my third package of yarn to arrive in the space of a week — feels like Christmas is here early!

The four skeins of Chickadee for a new shawl design are what I’ll be posting about in this entry. The other skein I got is another base and therefore will have its own entry. I didn’t want to make this entry too long with photos, so I’m splitting them. ;)

Before I share photos, I want to say that I love this yarn for the same reason I mentioned being excited about Brooklyn Tweed’s Shelter: it feels like home. I’m so proud that this wonderful yarn is made by my own people in my homeland. It’s softer than Shelter, but it still has the same feel of heritage. And the colorways, most of which are not heathered like Shelter, are just as beautiful and inspiring.

Quince’s branding is so simple, and I love it.

This personal hand-written thank-you made me feel all warm & fuzzy!

I carefully opened the bag and saved the Q sticker! This is what I first saw.

First skein: Sedum

Depth of field shot — my favorite! Isn’t this color lovely?

These tags are so adorable! And they have rounded corners (which you all know from getting Annie Yarn is a thing with me)!

Depth of field again! It’s a must when I photograph yarn…

And here’s the tag.

Last but not least: Petal

Had to do a depth of field shot of this one too…

Cute little tag!!

It wasn’t until after I set them on my desk while blogging that I realized that the color combination is very similar to my blog’s color scheme! I thought that was kinda funny.

Next I’ll share photos of my other skein, Finch…

  • Looking into YouTube planning options to help me structure my podcast a bit more and keep myself on track. If you have any input, please please comment or message me!! I’m also trying to see if a bullet journal layout might also work for me. HELPPPPP!!!! 😭😭😭
  • Day 15 of #fortheloveoffiberfebruary is FAVE FO and I just had to pull out this photo of me enjoying my Foraging cardigan because it’s definitely the FO I reach for the most except for my Honey Cowl. 🙃 (yay for being caught up again.. I’ll try not to lag so much any more, but I’ve just been so out of it from dealing with a lot of stress and anxiety lately..)
  • Day 14 of #fortheloveoffiberfebruary is LOVE and I chose this photo of me and my boy from last year when we traveled to Omaha for his friend’s wedding. We was best man, and I just tried to look nice next to him lol! But it was a blast! 
Yesterday for Valentine’s Day we cooked at home (he makes a mean steak omg) and sipped wine and watched GOT. Oh, and like the gamer girl that I am, I preordered Anthem. Super chill day. 😎
  • Day 13 of#fortheloveoffiberfebruary is TRY SOMETHING NEW and I am going to try my own spin of the bullet journal. I have had so much going on in my head lately that I really need a place to kind of braindump, and I figured I might as well give this a try to help reduce mental clutter. We shall see!
  • Day 12 of #fortheloveoffiberfebruary is LISTENING TO and I have been seriously enjoying @jojilocat’s journals!! She has such a beautiful way of communicating both in knitting and in words. Her designs are so inspiring!

here’s the stuff I write about..
