I spent most of Saturday cleaning and putting things away in my craft room. With the Daughter home, I had to move a couple of boxes out of her room and they of course landed in my craft room. In the process of cleaning, I rediscovered a lots of blocks for a quilt that I had envisioned about 3 years ago (maybe longer...). It was short about 8 blocks.
On Sunday, I decided to work on the quilt since I already had all of the pieces cut for the remaining blocks. One of the reasons that I could never finish this quilt top was that I was never happy with the layout of the blocks. I decided that I if I was ever going to finish this quilt, I had to stop being so picky!
I made the additional blocks and arranged them on my quilt wall. And rearranged them....and rearranged them...and... So much for not being picky (yes, I am a Virgo)! After rearranging them for the up-teenth time, my feet hurt from standing and staring at the blocks. It was time to do something else. This is where it's at right now:
(In looking at the picture, I know there are several blocks that must be swapped, but that's a task for another day.)
I worked on my latest shawl while I watched TV, waiting for True Blood to come on at 6pm. I love having the Eastern HBO channel because I don't have to wait as long to watch the episode. (Loved it, by the way!) The shawl is coming along and I estimate that I have about 30% left to weave.
I did manage to get a little knitting done, too. I'm working on the Fraggled Socks [Ravelry] and have about 20% left to do. No more pictures of these until I get them done!
