Quilty Content!

But first some yarn -- I finished the first of a new pair this evening -- except for grafting the toe, which I'll do during daylight tomorrow. I loved the tutti-frutti effect of this Regia yarn in the ball, but I'm not sure about the wierd zigzag effect when it's knitted up! I used a smaller needle than I have in the past and it really makes a difference; this is the first sock that doesn't seem stretched out to me.

And -- I finished the quilt top that I made for the collection that Debra is sending to her local women's shelter. It needs a good pressing and then it will go in the mail on Monday.
Tomorrow I hope to have time to play with some fabric paints, and to make some more ATCs for the next group of birthdays in the swap.
