Treating myself to a craft day

I've got a day off next week, and I'm going to be totally self-indulgent: I'm going to spend the day crocheting, knitting and sewing.
The crochet is a border for my knitted squares blanket. I started this border a few months ago and I reckon I'm halfway there, so I should be able to finish it as it's only about 3cm wide and I'm doing half treble stitch.
The knitting is a simple snood in divine Rowan yarn with a colourway designed by Kaffe Fassett, and it's a Christmas present so it has a built-in deadline!
The sewing is getting on with the two skirts from 'Dressmaking: the complete step-by-step guide'. I've stuck together the printed-out PDFs that make the pattern. Just need to remember to buy a couple of zips this week...

'Free': Koestler Trust exhibition

There's no charge for admission, but the title of the exhibition, 'Free', reflects who has made the pieces of visual art, film and music: prisoners and others in secure settings.
The pieces I saw were stitching- and knitting-based. Left is 'Coat of Flowering Hope', knitted by Li Jua Shao in HM Prison Eastwood Park, Gloucestershire. As the coat, embellished with knitted flowers and petals, is positioned leaning down a toilet bowl, I surmise that the maker's experience of hope may not be entirely positive...
Below is 'Highland Handbag', made by Tao Guest, in HM Prison Foston Hall, Derbyshire.

Curated by YBA Sarah Lucas, the exhibition is in the Royal Festival Hall, and on until November 25.
