Here's a shot of the Tilling the Soil vest, as far as I am on it. (Rice stitch moves slowly). It's actually much more purple than this shot would suggest, but the flash totally wiped out any texture, so this was taken without flash and the lamp I have on it makes the vest look much more reddish.
My cold is now at the stage where my voice creaks and cracks. Fortunately, the way the events in my syllabi fall, my 8 am class tomorrow does a lab exercise, I have a short ecology lab, and my Thursday class is a class exercise. So I don't have to talk so much, which is good.
Now it's time for a cup of hot tea.

The vest is lovely. I like texture knitting because different parts catch your eye in different light situatons--always looks so lush. And your quilt top looks great. I share your knitting and quilting interests. I am trying to finish machine quilting a quilt I pieced 18 months ago. I think I am also going to send the next one out to be quilted. I just don't have the sewing area set up for quilting. Even though the large meander quilting is boring and clonish I think it might be great for this quilt because you have the snowman fabric to add interest. I think a simple pattern needs simple quilting. Now if this were your life's masterpiece quilt you would be entitled to be a little obsessive about the quilting! So get it done and move on to the next one. Or so I keep telling myself.
I am struggling to finish up a very basic triangle shawl/scarf done in Rowan Kid/Silk Haze and garter stitch. I am so sick of it. And have ripped back drastically twice because I have a streak of perfectionism. Perfectionism paralyzes production.
I hope your cold is getting better. Keep pushing the fluids and get some rest!
