Many thanks to Cheryll for organising our Friday again - you can see who else took part here.
I spent Friday visiting Festival of Quilts at the NEC in Birmingham, a 3 1/4 hour coach trip which meant I spent more time on the coach than at the show, but it was worth it!
I have lots of photographs to share but will do that in a separate post.
On the way there, once on the motorway, I was able to get on with some knitting and did most of what you see here. Too tired to knit on the way back - I read instead.
The first sock was finished earlier in the week.
No Stitch Journal on Friday, I had to catch up on Saturday - here is my last week.
And the whole of July
This months Chookshed Challenge number is #7 which for me is to make a cover for this little sketchbook.
You can read about how I made this book back in 2017 here. Since then I have been working, on and off, into the pages with a mostly butterfly and middle eastern theme.
I plan to take some of the shapes and patterns from the pages and use them on the cover - but need to get my thinking cap on!
Finally some purchases from FOQ starting with some blue fabrics to use with the yellow hexies I worked on for the Chookshed Challenge back in January.
A Sue Hawkins kit - my thread cutter is always getting lost so hopefully this will help me keep track of it.
