Our first FSNI of the year and thanks to Wendy for all her organising. As usual you can see everyone who took part on Wendy's blog here.
As always my first sewing task of the day was my Stitch Journal and this circle was Fridays contribution.
I have added another circle today so here is how my week has looked.
On Monday we needed some fresh air after a weekend indoors so we drove up to Wellington Monument.
From the car park there is a lovely tree lined walk to the Monument.
And the hedge on either side has been laid at some point in the past.
Just look at all those lovely roots!
There are days when the monument is open and you can climb the steps to the top. Evidently the views are spectacular.
Anyway, you can see that I commemorated our walk in my stitch journal.
So, back to Friday and I spent a couple of hours in the afternoon on the machine whipping up a quick bag to go in our picnic hamper to contain cutlery and other loose bits and bobs - sorry no pic.
Then in the evening more quilting on Wings. No Chookshed Challenge this week as I want to complete my quilting quota for the month before going back to it.
But I have made a start on my next knitting project.
The pattern is not showing up well yet but I am pleased with how it is looking so far.
And that is me for the week - see you next week.
I can see the pattern starting in your sock. I like the tower in your stitch journal.

The stitches in your journal are so pretty, Lin! I love the blue.
ReplyDeleteBusy week for you Lin, nice to have a day out to explore. I am enjoying following your stitch journal. enjoy those socks as the pattern appears.
ReplyDeleteYour stitch journal is looking wonderful Lin. That is a very picturesque walk that you went on - everything looks very wintery & bare for you there. Lovely yarn you are working with. Enjoy the week ahead Lin xx
ReplyDeleteLovely colours in your knitting, Lin. Your stitch journal is looking great with all those various stitches combined with the laces. I love exposed gnarly roots in trees. I always find them fascinating. It must've been wonderful to get out and explore a bit.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy seeing your various stitcheries. The moss on those trees is amazing. You are off to a good start on your next knitting project.
