Progress on items and a scarf started

Here it is the start of another week and another month. It is hard to believe that February is over after how long it felt January to go by. 

The weather here is still doing its roller coaster with the temperature so will have to see how things go this week. As it is the beginning of another month that are things that need to get done for work.

Silvery Anniversary - here is the piece that got the focus for the last week. It is nice seeing how much I was able to get done on it. It is slowly starting to come to life, and I will see how much I can get done in March.

It is nice having a project that yes, I would like to get it finished but I am also able to take my time and work on it a bit at a time. My goal is to have this finished by our 25th wedding anniversary so that is in 2026, so I have time to work on the project and not stress about getting it done. I have got jus over 12% of this project done so I am on track to get it done in time for our anniversary.

This project is going to be put down for a little while as I am going to be working on another project this week and I am looking forward to seeing how much progress I can get done on it.

Ex-boyfriend shawl - here is one of the knitting projects that got a bit of my attention this past week. This shawl is taking me quite a while to get it done and part of it is I am not enjoying using the yarn that I got for this shawl. Hopefully I will be able to set aside a little bit of time each day to just add a bit more to the shawl so that I can get it finished. Normally, I enjoy working on my knitting projects, but this is one of those projects that I will like the shawl once it is done but it is the working on it that I don't enjoy as much.

If I can continue to move this project forward a bit at a time I think I will feel better. I am not certain how many stitches I am going to end up with on the needle, but I will continue until it is done and then be happy that I will have another shawl to wear even if the process of making the shawl wasn't something that I enjoyed as much as I thought I would.

Scarf in the round - here is another project that I am working on, and I must admit that I have been really enjoying it so far. This past week I decided that I had some yarn that I wasn't sure what I was going to do with, so I cast on 100 stitches onto a circular needle and then just started knitting. 

Do I know how long I am going to make this scarf, no not really. I have two skeins of this yarn so I will see how long the scarf is after the first ball of yarn and then will see what happens. I do enjoy knitting this scarf because it is something that I can pick up and work on when I have a few minutes. I don't need to finish a row, and I don't have a pattern to follow so it is a lot of fun.

Other projects - I haven't worked on anything else in the last week as I am trying to stay focused and get things done instead of bouncing between too many projects. I do hope to pick up my English Paper Piecing this week as I would like to continue to move it forward, but we will have to wait and see.

There are a few things that I need to get done this week so that means I will be busy on things. I will make sure that I do take a bit of time each day to recharge by personal battery but doing something that I enjoy. It is so important to ensure we take a bit of time for ourselves because it does make such a difference on how you can handle things when they are thrown at you.

Hope everyone has a good week, and I would like to have some progress on things to show you need week.
