About me

I have three kids and I spend most of my free time knitting.

Quiet River is the translation of my Chinese name, jiang ning or 江宁，and I like the two meanings of “knits by” as in made by and “knits by” as in knitting beside a river.

I’m KnitsByQuietRiver on Ravelry and Instagram.

❄️❄️This last snow of winter is actually quite beautiful ❄️❄️

🌳🌳🍄🍄She’s done!! Still haven’t gnamed her 🍄🍄Can’t wait for the next gnome mkal 🍄🍄🌲🌲#nevernotgnoming #gnomemkal

Last Sunday I made my very first loaf of bread, not counting soda bread. It turned out awesome- and it was not half as complicated as thought it was going to be. It occurred to me that now I just need to learn how make a sourdough starter and obtain/make a mill stone and we could survive anything. My husband would know how to grow wheat, since his family had to grow all their own food when he was a kid, though I guess we would need seeds. But we’re way closer than we were last week. Big thanks to @thefatsqrrl for mentioning the #kingarthurflour website in her #thefatsquirrelspeaks podcast at some point. Their recipes are amazing! I have yet to bork any of them, which is not typical for me 😊

Finished clue no. 1! No idea what my gnome will look like, loving the process of making and discovering my first gnome 😊#gnomemkal #nevernotgnoming #countessablaze

#fiberuarychallenge day 27: favourite yarn. I can’t pick just one. Though 4 ply / fingering / 🧦 weight is far and away the most frequently stashed yarn for me. Be it speckled, variegated, tonal, semi solid, or non-dyed single breed, I 💗 it. (Also 💗 self striping and regia, but not pictured here, it’s in a different bin and I forgot 🤦🏼‍♀️) #blackeryarns #sweetgeorgiayarns #hedgehogfibres #bluemoonfiberarts #qingfibre #theknittinggoddess #countessablaze

#fiberuarychallenge Day 26: Cozy. I was feeling overwhelmed and I dropped the ball on this challenge for the past 2 weeks. I wanted find time to stage better photos but LIFE got in my way. Anyways, this is me being cozy. I am having the WORST time finishing this collar band. Partly because I ended up traveling with no winter clothing to much colder areas than I had planned, I started wearing my #rosecardigan before finishing the band. I decided to start mattressing it on to the cardie as I go, to motivate me. And it’s working, but not as fast as I’d like! Every few cable rows I stop and do some seaming. I love that I can wear it and knit it at the same time now. #andreamowrydesigns #labienaimee #knitstagram #knittersofinstagram #knithacker
