After finishing the stitcheries for my Country At Heart quilt, I have been crocheting in the evenings, continuing on with the afghan I started last November.
It's worked corner to corner and last night, during Friday Night with Friends (thank you Cheryll!) I reached the final corner —
Next it has several rounds of border treatment. Apparently I'm supposed to block it before I start the border...not something I do very often but as it is slightly wonky it's probably a very good idea :-)
So I started on a wee stitchery I'd prepared earlier —

I'm stitching on some handkerchief linen which is turning out to be lovely to use. I'm very happy to continue on with this over the next few nights.
If you want to see what others got up to on Friday Night go to Cheryll's blog *here* for the linky lineup.
Enjoy your weekend - I have some sewing time planned and I think two small children are coming out for a visit later today ♥
'til next time,
happy stitches,

ReplyDeleteAmazing corners. I love the colors and overall stitching. I haven't done crochet work in years, but wanting to dive back in this year.

WoW... you achieved a lot at FNwF. Love the blanket so far.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining in FNwF again... xox
Your afghan is lovely. I really like the colors, so bright and cheerful. Your stitchery looks so fun. Will it stand alone or does it go with others to make a quit or wall hanging?
ReplyDeleteYour afghan is gorgeous and the stitiching very sweet!
ReplyDeleteYour crochet blanket looks gorgeous, I can't wait to see the border and a very cute kitty on your stitchery, too.
ReplyDeleteI don't like blocking my kniting either but it sure does finish off the project. Love your stitchery ... cute kitty!
ReplyDeleteThe blanket is looking great - I don't block often either! Cute stitchery. xx
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely colours in tha afghan. And oh that kitty is sweet as can be.
ReplyDeleteYour crochet is beautiful and that kitty stitchery is so sweet!
ReplyDeleteBoth projects are lovely Raewyn. I keep seeing stitchery, and I know I need to pick some back up again, especially as we have a wee week trip planned in a couple of weeks!
ReplyDeleteI had to come back for a second look at the afghan. First of all, I love the colors in it. I love the pattern as well. Wondering if you might give me the name of the pattern. I would love stitching one up. LindaLee from lovenmystitches
