Making some good progress

Here it is the start of another week, and the weather has cooled down some so that means I have been able to make progress on a couple of my projects. Summer is also winding down and students go back to school next week here in Toronto.

Pandemic - here is the project that got my cross stitch attention for the last week. It makes me happy to see that I have been able to continue to move this project forward.

This past week I worked on a bunch of different areas as I just wanted to see progress on the piece, and it didn't matter where it was. It felt great seeing that I have been able to move the various sections forward and hopefully I will be able to do it again when I pick this up again in September. 

This coming week I will be working on a different project and then Pandemic will be coming back out for some more attention.

Floating Shawl - here is the knitting project that has got quite a bit of attention this past week. I have completed the first ball of yarn and have completed the final increase so now onto the lace work and then the border. It does take quite a bit of time to get each row completed now as there are 519 stitches on my needle. This pattern has been nice to work on as it is garter stitch with some increases and some lace work.

This coming week I will be trying to move this project forward some more as I would like to see the shawl finished soon. I think this is going to be one of those shawls that gets worn quite a bit once it's finished. 

Other projects - I haven't worked on any other projects again this week as I have been focused on moving these two projects forward. Now to see what happens this week because I would like to pick up my English Paper Piecing for a little while.

I hope everyone has been able to find those bits of time to relax and do something that you enjoy. I am going to continue to work on moving projects forward and hopefully next week I will have some more progress to show you.
