Making more progress

Here it is the start of another week and hopefully a week where the weather will improve, and we will see some sunshine. It is also the start of a new month tomorrow and I am not sure where March went as it seemed to fly by.

I have been busy working on things so hopefully I will be able to continue to get things done and maybe have some finishes before too long.

Silver Anniversary - here is the piece that got the attention in the last week. It was nice being able to spend some more time working on the piece as it is helping me move it forward.

With Silver Anniversary I try and spend one week a month working on it so that I can continue to move it forward with a goal of having it done before our 25th anniversary next year. It is amazing how much you can get done in a week when you focus on just one cross stitch project instead of many like I was doing in the past.

Now that it is a start of another week it means that Silver Anniversary will be put down and I will be picked up a different project for this week to put some stitches in on it. I have decided what project will get the attention, but it will be one of my full coverage pieces.

Gradient Shawl - here is the knitting project that I have been working on. This project is using 6 balls of yarn that are 40 grams each and it is a lot of fun to work on. This last week I was able to get the first two balls of yarn knit into the shawl, and I have just started the third ball. This shawl does knit up quickly which is nice and hopefully I will have it completed before too long.

As the shawl is getting longer, I ended up putting it on a circular needle and I am glad I did because it is making it easier to work on. I am going to continue to work on this shawl because I love the colours of the yarn (shades of teal), and I am enjoying working on it.

Other knitting projects haven't got any attention since I picked up this shawl but that is ok because I can work on them after I get this shawl finished.

Other projects - I haven't done a lot of other projects and part of that is because I have been enjoying working on the shawl and my cross stitch.

I hope everyone is finding that bit of time each day to recharge your personal battery. It doesn't matter what you do but it is important that we all take that bit of time for ourselves and do something that we enjoy. This coming week I hope to be able to make some more progress on the shawl and on my cross stitch that I pick. Have a good week and I will be back next week to show you the progress that I have been able to make.
