FnwF...

Yep! Last night was Friday Night with Friends hosted by the lovely Cheryll.


So what did I work on last night?...
Some tracing, cutting out and stitching...

One block

 I had tried tracing this design using the light box but the 'dot on dot' fabric just seemed so difficult to 'see through' to trace. Eventually I resorted to using a transfer pencil, but only back stitched for a while after all that 'drama'.

 And I finished the evening knitting a number of rows on this ...yep! The good old chevron design and again in favourite colours. This one is a 'thank you' gift to an old friend. It should be finished in the coming week as I work on it most evenings.

So there you have it, my Friday evening of crafting while watching 'Broadchurch' and 'Doc Martin'.

Maria, sometimes that preparation work is such a pest isn't it?! Well now you are all set to stitch... I saw Broadchurch in the tv guide, but have not watched it, is it any good? x

Lovely work and the Chevrons look so snuggly..I haven't traced over dots before and have wondered what it is like..a transfer pencil sounds like a good idea..
