Some Knitting and a Quilt Update

Here is my first project with Michael's wool. It's going to be a beanie. The braid will be the bottom of the hat. Then I'll pick up stitches along the edge and continue knitting upwards toward the crown, tailoring it to fit me as I go. That's the plan, anyway!

I pieced six more rows of my Row by Row quilt, and am still loving it.

Here is another close-up. I'm managing to line up all my corners with a bit of easing here and there. 

The rest of the weekend will be spent finishing painting the bathroom window frame and maybe thinking about the little curtain I'd like to make.
