A finish and some good progress

Here it is another week has gone by, and this month seems to be just flying by. The weather here has been very hot and humid, but the last few days were a lot nicer and could spend some time sitting outside. I have been able to move projects forward this last week and am happy about that.

Mini the Forgotten - here is the project that was close to a finish when I last wrote my blog. On Monday, I was lucky and was able to spend some time focusing on this piece because it was so close to a finish.

Before the end of the day, I was able to take it off the scroll frame and that this picture of it. It felt wonderful having this piece finished and now I will be pulling out another project to take its place.

Here are some facts about Mini the Forgotten.

• Started: December 21, 2019
• Completed: July 14, 2025
• Project Size: 250 x 247
• Number of stitches: 61,750

I am very happy to have this project finished and am looking forward to getting it framed so that I can have it up on my wall. 

I have figured out the project that is going to take its place but I don't think I will be working on it until August just so I have a bit of change of colour.

Pandemic - after finishing Mini the Forgotten it was time to pull out a project that work on it for a little bit. This is another project that I would like to get finished but I don't think it will be this year however getting stitches in on it will help.

As this project is just one colour it seems to go so much faster as you are not having to change colour but there is a lot of detail in each section, so they take quite a while to get them done. I am going to try and work on this piece for another week and then it will go back into the WIPGO rotation, and we will see what happens after that.

Cranberry Fizz - once the weather cooled down a couple of degrees and the humidity wasn't so bad I was able to start another shawl and am happy with the progress that I have been able to make on it so far.  I love how this is turning out and I don't think it will be long before it is onto the circular needle so that I can work on getting it finished. The yarn that I am using has a little bit of shimmer in it so that adds a little bit to the shawl.

This week I am going to try and get more of this shawl done as it is always nice when you can see a shawl come to live and get finished quickly. 

Other projects - given how hot and humid it has been out I haven't worked on any other projects as I have been trying to stay focused. I would like to work on my English Paper Piecing for a little while this week, but we will have to see how things go. 

This week I have a few things that I need to get completed and I will see what I can get accomplished on my projects. I hope to be able to see some good progress on both my knitting and cross stitch but only time will tell. Finding that time to recharge your personal battery everyday is important so that you can be there to help those around you.
