This is what I am currently up to :)
Doesn't look very pretty yet but the squares are portable and I just don't have time to sort out different projects to pack in my bag each day.



Hoping that before I get bored I will make enough of them to sew together and make something pretty



This is my made-up square pattern in case anyone is interested.
