It’s time for the Friday Night Sew-In for March and I am doing the happy dance. Would I have sewn tonight anyway? YES! But it’s a lot more fun to spend your Friday night sewing when you know there are a lot of other people doing the same thing. Plus there’s a chance to win a prize, and I love prizes! It’s not like I haven’t already been sewing (and knitting) all week, but I have fun checking out everyone’s projects and participating in something.
So far this week, I’ve finished a circular scarf for my best friend, worked on my wrap for my knit-along in the Simply Notable Ravelry group, gotten my February free motion quilting challenge assignment finished, cut out the rest of the blocks for a couple of granny squares quilt top, made a mug rug, made a kindle sleeve for a friend, and started on a couple other mug rugs for friends. I’ve been a busy, busy girl, and I’m about to get a lot busier this evening as I try to wrap up the mug rug making, work on a notebook cover and start on a crochet hook roll for a swap.
This morning’s kindle sleeve turned out fairly well. It’s not perfect, but it’s nice, at least.
Here’s my February assignment for Sew Cal Gal’s FMQ challenge. I have to say that I’m VERY proud of myself. After January’s assignment being a monumental flop, I’d honestly wanted to just chuck the whole idea of FMQ right out the window. I didn’t have any time to do any fmq last month, but I decided to give it another shot this week. I’m glad I did, because I did so much better than before. Perhaps I’ve just gotten the hang of working with Bessie 2, or perhaps it was popping in some earbuds and listening to a show in the secluded comfort of my tiny sewing room that loosened me up enough to enjoy the fmq.
And finally, this is the lace wrap I’m working on for the knit-along. It’s made with Paton’s Angora Bamboo, so it’s warm, but breathable. I should be able to wear it through three seasons…four if there’s a chilly, dreary evening in the summer or someone turns the house into a walk-in freezer with the AC.
I’ll be back tomorrow sometime to update about my FNSI progress. Hopefully this month I’ll be more productive than I was able to be during last month’s FNSI.
Enjoy your weekend!
