Does anybody out there quilt? I'm not making a quilt, per se, but I am sewing some plaid flannel onto the back of a lightweight wool to make a blanket. I thought I might do some "quilting" on it - that is, sew designs through the whole thing to help it stick to itself. I don't know if this is clever or a terrible, terrible idea. I also don't know how to choose or make a design.

Edited: Simple embroidery. That's the solution. I'm doing swirls.

Magic loop is soooooooo easy, once you've got it. It's kind of like cheating. Seriously. The only thing I've had to be careful about is when I readjust the needles - when I've knit a side and go to the other side, I've not infrequently pulled the wrong side and ended up dropping my stitches. Annoying! Now I know to be extra careful.

I've got to (finally and really) finish B's second sock before I can start yours, but maybe I'll finish B's tonight. :)
