Some good progress

Here it is another Monday morning, and I am going to say it is way too hot right now to try and function. Instead of warming up to a nice temperature it has gone way overboard, and it is extremely hot here. The weather is now making it difficult to function or do anything so that is making it hard. At least before the weather decided to get this hot, I was able to make some progress on a few things.

Mini the Forgotten - here is the project that got quite a bit of attention this last week. I was trying to focus on moving this project forward and closer to a finish and I must admit that I think that I was able to do that. Of course, some of the areas that needed work weren't too big so that did help quite a bit. The first thing that I had to do was complete a section that had some metallic thread in it so that was the first focus and then it was time to try and move the entire project forward some more.

It does feel good seeing how much I was able to get completed this last week because it means that I have moved this project closer to a finish and that is nice. I have three pages to finish now and hopefully that means before too long I will have this piece finished.

If the weather lets up a bit I am going to continue to work on this piece through this week as I would like to see how much more of it, I can get done. 

Simply Curious Shawl - I have been trying to work on this project a bit, but it is one of those projects that does take some time to do and given it is a heavier weight yarn it is also something that you don't want to work on when it's really hot out.

When the weather cools down a little bit I think I will try and add a few more rows to this piece as I would like to see it finished before too long. I know that being able to at least work on it a bit at a time would be good so we will see how that goes.

Gradient Shawl - I have decided that while it is hot out, I needed something that I would work on while sitting on the balcony, so I started another Gradient Shawl but this time I am using some variegated yarn that I had already. The nice thing about this project is I don't have to think about what row I am on because it is a simple project to pick up and work on.

I don't know how quickly I will get this done but at least I was able to get a start on it before it got extremely hot out and hopefully it will continue to grow once, I can make some more progress on it.

Other projects - I haven't worked on any other projects this past week as my main focus was on moving my cross stitch forward. Just being able to see that I have made some good progress is nice and hopefully before long I will have a finish.

I hope everyone is finding that bit of time each day to do something that you enjoy doing. If you are dealing with the extreme heat and humidity, I hope you are able to stay cool and remember to drink lots of water.
