Naturally I packed some crafts when DH and I went away this past week, so I was ready for Friday Night Sew In.
Last night I started to sew the squares in the long hexie Christmas runner that I've been working on for a while. But I'm afraid that sewing without my Daylight (and magnifier too for those tiny stitches) proved to be a bit of a challenge. I persevered for a while and managed to stitch 2 in place and 2 sides of a third one, but then had to admit defeat.
So then I got out some crocheting that I had brought along and worked on that. (Just some squares which I work on every now and then and which will eventually become a blanket for K4BN)
There were 52 FNSI ers last night, why not go and visit some, or all! :-)

Not good about the lighting but a good move to have had a back-up project with the crochet, look forward to seeing the blanket when it's finished :) Barb.
Your projects looks great...I need good light as well...
Love your work. Lighting is so important. Take my potable light everywhere I go now.
Always good to have a project in reserve!
Isn't it frustrating when you cant quite see! Lovely crochet though and good to have something like that in reserve. xx
I am loving that Christmas runner. Lucky we always have more than one project of the go! LOL!
great projects on the go here, Thanks for sharing.
A very productive night...and a night away with hubby to boot.
Lighting is very important for me also, great backup.
I am lost without my light as well Maria. Great that you had some crochet to be going on with. Lovelly Chrissy project x
Beautiful hexies...sure wish I could crochet like that...doing just basic for now.
I always have two or three different projects on the go. I sew while the lights good then I knit or crochet when it gets darker. They eyesight thing does get annoying doesnt it!
The hexy project is looking great Maria, but yes it's hard without good light... you probably don't even need to look when you are crocheting!!
