Blue Mountain Rhapsody! I'm going to hand it off this week for somebody else to make the border. I'm really pleased at how well it turned out. It's probably the most complicated top I've ever made, uh, make that completed. Moreover, Stashbuster Alert! I used 132"--that's almost 4 yards--from my stash!And in the mail yesterday arrived a nice little package.
I looked at the return address (Mary Jane's Cross and Stitch) and had to zoom to my studio to open it. I thought you'd like to come along for the ride.
Hmm, packaging material...
Looks intriguing...
Ooh! Yes! It's my first installment in the Over-the-Top Series from Just Nan! Cute, huh? I can hardly wait to start.
I just need to get past this finishitis first....

I couldn't sleep last night so I got up and knitted the i-cord (kind of a square strap for you non-knitters) for my iPod carrier while reading more of Sense and Sensibility. Then I took advantage of the fact I was using cotton yarn. Cotton yarn is plied loosely. I was able to separate 1 of the 4 plies and use it as a thread to sew up the sides of MiPod. 
It worked like a nice strong button thread. Now I don't need pockets to listen to a podcast! Hoop-de-do!
