Resurrection

Will someone please tell me why, when I'm deep in the belly of a quilt, blocks sewn, rows arranged, binding chosen, almost done, heading down the home stretch..C'mon Sea biscuit! (or California Chrome...are you going to watch the Belmont race this weekend?), that I decide to crochet something? This blanket pattern is from the Crochet Today, August 2011 issue, and has been resurrected from the closet. I don't know why I choose to work on a wool blanket when the forecast calls for hotter than blazes temperatures, but there it is.
