Here it is the start of another week, and I have been able to make a bit of progress on the various projects over the last week. Yes, work has required some of my time, but at least I know that I have been able to move a couple of my projects forward. It does feel good knowing that I have been able to get all the work done that I needed to do as well as be able to spend some time working on the cross stitch and knitting projects that make me happy.
Mini Sea Opal - here is the second WIPGO project that I had on the calendar for February. This project required me to add 500 stitches to the piece to reach the goal that I had set for each time it was selected.
The good news is that by the time I put it down this week after working on it for 3 days I had been able to add over 1,000 stitches to this piece. I know that given the size of this project it doesn't seem like a lot, but at least it is moving the project forward which is what I am trying to do this year.
This is one of the big projects that I have on the list of things that I would like to move forward this year so now to see how things go.
Silver Anniversary - here is a new start for this week and I decided that I wanted to start this piece on the 26th anniversary of when I met my husband with a goal of getting this project finished by our 25th anniversary which is in September 2026. This project has been enjoyable to work on and I have just been working on the bottom left section of the piece as I am trying to get small sections of it done at a time.
I am going to put this down for a little while now as I have another project that is going to get the attention this coming week.
Turkish Delight Shawl - here is the knitting project that has been getting the attention for the last little while. As this shawl has used double knitting weight yarn it has different to work on compared to the fingering weight yarn I have been using. It has been a nice project to work on because the pattern wasn't difficult to do. The lace section was something that I did enjoy working on even though there were times that I couldn't seem to get it done correctly.
This weekend I decided it was time to focus on it for a little while as I knew that I was close to getting it finished. The good news is the shawl is now finished other than sewing in the ends and that makes me happy. Of course, now that this shawl is completed, it is time to figure out the next project that I will be spending some time working on.
Other projects - this past week I was also able to pick up and work on my English Paper Piecing a little bit which is good and now to see how much more of it I can get done before the end of the month. I know that seeing progress on a few things would make me feel good.
I hope everyone has been able to spend a bit of time working on things that make you happy. It doesn't matter what you do as long as you are able to spend a bit of time recharging your personal battery.
This week I hope to move another cross stitch project forward and I will see what else I get done. Hope a good week and I hope to have progress to show next week.
