FNSI

 Good Friday and it's Friday Night Sew In which Wendy is extending to Easter Weekend Sew In. Click here to see who joined in and what they are getting up to. I thought I would start by posting my Friday work and will catch up later with anything else I work on over the weekend.

 During the afternoon I worked in my #31daysartjournal sketchbook, now well into 40+ days but I finally have a couple of pages I am calling finished.



I love Ranunculus flowers and this one flowered on my kitchen window sill for most of March and into April so deserved a two page spread.

Then during the evening I added two pink RSC Dresdens to my quilt, they had been finished for a few days so just needed pressing and appliqueing.


Not many more of these little ones to do then I must do four rainbow Dresdens for the corners.

On Thursday I finished these Winwick Mum Easy Lace socks from her book More Super Socks. The lace bit really is easy and I love her heel. Next to try I think is the pattern for Easy Cable Socks - its some time since I did a cable. Meanwhile I can crack on with the hat that I bought the yarn for last week.



Enjoy the rest of your weekend and Happy Easter!

  7. Oh, those socks are so pretty, Lin. Such a pretty colour yarn and pattern. Cable socks will be fun. Ranunculus are such happy flowers. I suppose they are popping up everywhere there, now. Your sketches of your one are fabulous! A Happy Easter to you, too.

  15. The sketchbook work looks great - interesting concept that it's taken a while to complete some pages - it makes it into a very creative process. The socks turned out lovely. Have fun with the cables!
