A new start and some progress

 

Here it is the start of another week and hopefully a week where I can make some progress on a few things. Of course, there is work stuff that needs to get done so that is something else that I am going to be managing so we will see what I can get done.

The weather is still cool, and we have had quite a bit of rain, but the forecast looks like it is finally starting to warm up or at least we hope it does. Being able to see the sun for more than half a day at a time would be nice.

Silver Anniversary - here is the project that got some attention this past week. I am continuing to move this project forward and it feels good. This past week I worked on filling in some of the open spaces so that I had filled in more of the piece.

It does take a while to get an area completed given the number of colours that are used but I have continued to move this project forward and I am happy with that. The colours do look a lot nicer in person but at least you can see that I have been working on the piece and slowly moving it forward.

I am not certain if Silver Anniversary will get any attention in June, but we will have to see. If it doesn't get any attention in June, I do know that I am ahead of where I thought I would be by now so that is good and I have until September 2026 to get the piece completed for our anniversary.

Pebble Beach Shawl - here is a project that I started this past week as I wanted to make another shawl for myself. It has felt good getting back to knitting shawls again and this one is moving along quickly as well. I am currently at 50% complete and will see if I can get the rest of the shawl finished in the next week or so. I guess I will just have to wait and see how things go. 

Preemie items - this past week I decided that I was going to try and make 5 preemie hats and it didn't take long to get them all done. I am having fun working some different colour yarns as it gives me a bit of a change instead of working on just one colour at a time. 

This week I hope to get more hats finished up as well as get some more progress on the preemie blanket that I have on the go. I think it is time to get that back out so that I can work on getting it finished before too long.

Other projects - this past week I did a bit of English Paper Piecing which was nice and now to see if I can continue to work on those projects to get some of them finished or at least closer to a finish.

It has felt good making sure that I have been able to take a bit of time for myself each day even with things are crazy. Being able to take even a few minutes a day working on recharging your personal battery is important. 

This coming week I am going to be working on a different cross stitch project, and I will work on my knitting projects and see what I can get accomplished. If things go well,, I hope to have some more progress to show you next week.
