Working on a Quilt Top (Yes, It's a UFO...)

On my way to yoga last night, I took the brown tweed yarn to Laurel. She likes it. I thought she would. I think it will work perfectly for the project she has in mind for it. She turned me on to a cool web site for knitters and crocheters: Ravelry. I joined and found a good pattern for a NEW project (of manageable size) that I have in mind. Unlike so many web sites, this one has tons and tons of actually useful, accessible content. ... My only problem with doing a knitting project right now is Stuart. Stuart has a new pastime. He likes to pick things up in his mouth and run off with them. Pieces of plastic wrap. Measuring tapes. Pencils and pens. But his very favorite? Balls of yarn. ... Balls of yarn. ... Oh well.

Lately I have been madly working on a UFO quilt. It's called Building Blocks, for lack of a better name right now. The fabric is all hand dyes, made by me and collected in swaps. The blocks are done. Today I'm working on the setting strips (b-o-r-i-n-g). I'd love to have this top and back done by the end of the week. So, I'd better quit writing and get back to it. Okay.
