Wool Is Wonderful
Despite being a perfect weather week to work on quilting, I've done nothing but knit since Monday. I finshed my felted bag (not really mine, it's actually a belated birthday gift for my friend, Kate) in less than five days, since it was pretty much the only thing I did this week. It turned out great though!
(See my pretty lilies in the back? I did gardening this week too!)
I bought enough black wool to make one for myself too--mine will have pink stripes instead though. I need to have a knitting break for a few days first.
To anyone concerned that I've gone over to the knitting darkside for good though: it's just easier to tote a knitting project to my work this summer (I have a lot of downtime there) instead of the queen sized quilt in progress. Sometimes (and I'm sure there are a lot of quilters who agree with me) I just have to take a break from my big projects, since they do consume so much of my time. I don't have to have the wedding quilt finished until October 8th (and then you both are getting MARRIED, Laura and Steve!!!) and I just don't feel like I should burn myself out on it!
No way will I ever give up the quilting.
