FNSI

On Friday night I joined in with FNSI though I done some knitting.

This is where my Dirty Lace wrap is up to now and I will admit there has been a bit of frogging going on.  Pays to do the lace component when you are not tired.




Granpup Rusko had to check some of the yarn out and he has been a good boy and not run of with it yet.




He knows when he is being a good boy.  Look at those gorgeous eyes.  His mum is in Australia at the moment at CMC and returns home on Wednesday.  It will be the longest they have been apart since she got him, but he loves being spoilt at Nan-nans




Finally, I do not know why it took me so long to read J. D. Robb's 'In Death' series.  I read often, and her books as Nora Roberts, but am loving these books and getting my collection up to read.  Below is the latest one I am reading.

FNWF

Last night I joined in with Friday Night with Friends for the first time in a long time and I worked on my knitting currently on my needles.

Not long along I joined in a KAL on FB, however I was trying to find one colour and I finally found it from Skeinz Sisters all the way over in Australia and it was exactually what I wanted, so started the KAL when it was over.  Fortunately there are people still doing at their own pace like me.

The pattern was a Truly Myrtle one called Dirty Lace.  A bit of lace work within this so I will not say how much frogging I done before I got the hang of it, but I got there.

This is what I had done 5 nights ago.





And slowly doing it, I completed 15 rows last night.  I still ensure I concentrate carefully on the lace rows.



If you are wondering what my other colours are here they are




The pattern can be found here with other patterns by this NZ designer.

Now off to see what everyone else done last night.

I've Signed Up ...... Have You?

Oh boy I have not signed up to FNWF in a while, but I have got my mojo back and doing more crafting than I normally have been doing.  I am also in the process of cleaning my sewing room as I got at the end of last year a brand new sewing cabinet for my birthday.

Anyway click on the picture to be taken to the sign up page so you can join too.




I have also read a lot more than I have done and have found a addiction to J. D. Robb so prowling second hand bookshops for some lately.  So crafting and reading get switched out often.  But enjoying life especially in these difficult times.

Just when you think things are getting back to normality after the last three years with Covid, then a Cyclone hits and when you work in healthcare it turns to mush.
