Friday Night Sew In...

In the first part of last night, DH and I were at a fundraiser Trivia Night...

There were 9 in our team; a combination of family and friends.

We had lots of laughs, lots of questions that we knew the answers to...but a few we didn't know...despite really 'racking our brains'!! The team at the table next to us were scoring similar results to us in all rounds...it was 'neck and neck' there most of the time!!

But...we won by one point! This was good as the tiebreaker questions are always tough!

So it wasn't until we were home again that I was able to do some work on my latest knitting project. And it was a lovely way to 'wind down' after our fun evening. 

I also wrote about this throw for FNwF at the beginning of the month.

And it has grown since then.

I really would like to have this throw finished by the second week of May.

Friday Night with Friends...

First Friday of the month means FNwF...a link up of crafters in Blogland, for an evening of stitching, knitting, crocheting etc. Cheryll, over at Gone Stitchin' blog is the lovely organiser of this event.

I finally got started on a new project...a throw in DsD2's  favourite colours. Sometimes I eagerly start a new project, but other times I dither around and nothing ends up being started. And this was the case with this throw. I've been 'gunna start that' for two months!! Lol.

It's that quick and easy favourite design of mine...a slipstitch pattern which results in wavey stripes. Best of all, it 'grows' quickly!

While I'm happily in 'starting mode', I will probably start another throw that I've planned to knit for ages. It will use up some  Robin brand fancy yarn I bought on EBay a few years ago now. I like to have a couple of projects with all those stitches already cast on the circular needles ready to go...no procrastination about starting then! Lol
