Friday Night Sew In...

Last night I finished stitching a couple of hexie flowers...I had already stitched the 6 hexagons on to the centre one, so it was just the 6 side seams joining those hexies to each other.

And I also did some knitting...the 'scraps' project, 'Knitted Minestrone'. I'd finally finished the latest block of black garter stitch (boring!) and so last night I started the next scrappy block.

Earlier in the month in my FNwF post, I wrote about the Mystery Ball of yarn ( a ball of all different yarns in the one ball) that I was going to use. At the same time I'd been searching cupboards and shelves for a similar ball of yarn that I had bought at an Open Day at the Qld Spinners and Weavers many, many years ago. I couldn't find it! Yet, yesterday when I went into the disaster area that is my sewing room, there it was sitting on the table where I keep my second sewing machine! 
 Found in time to be part of my Knitted Minestrone throw! Now the difference in price of the Mystery Ball and the Magic Ball certainly reminds me of how long the latter has been waiting to be used; $19 vs $8. I bought 2 of the latter and the other one was used in a project ages ago.
Thank you to Wendy for once again hosting FNSI. There were 54 of us who signed up this month and it's easy to visit all or a few of the participants. Just use Wendy's Linky 'thingies' on her post here.
