FNSI...

This month I certainly had an evening of variety...
Firstly, I finished neatening off any ends in some blankets I had made from squares that various people had donated to K4BN. Then I did my version of yarn bombing to get some photos of the 7 blankets. Instead of using our modular lounge, this time I used the railings on the side veranda to arrange the items for the 'photo shoot'.
Looking to the left...

 Looking back from the front steps...
Some people who make squares for the group, use it as an opportunity to try out new designs... these look so good placed in amongst the plain squares, and make rather special looking blankets...

The white central bit was the original square and I just crocheted a few more rounds to make the square larger...


I took the next photo to show off that lovely square...and then saw, despite checking each blanket twice, that there was still an end not woven in!


Last night I also finished off the fringe and sewed on the label of the throw that I have made DD2 for her birthday...


I also started a new knitting project...I cast on the 241 stitches and worked the first row...no photos as it doesn't look interesting yet :-)
At the end of the evening I worked on one of my EPP projects...sewing in the squares with a new Christmas fabric that I bought recently to try using a cream and gold fabric for the centres rather that the white and silver that I usually use...
Filling in the centres on a Christmas runner...
 So that's how I spent my evening...no TV watching this month while I crafted, I magnanimously allowed DH to use the large screen telly in the loungeroom to watch some footy game...Cowboys and Roosters or something like that! lol. He didn't seem to yell at the TV as much this time, so those men in the pink shirts and short black shorts obviously didn't annoy him this time :-/.
If you like to check out what others did with their time during FNSI, go over to Wendy's blog and use the links in the sign up post...will you also join us next month perhaps?
