Progress, a new start and a finish

Here it is the start of another week, and I am going to try and update you with the various projects that I have been working on. At least it is finally cooler here so that means that I might be able to spend some time working on the projects that I would like to see moved forward.

Mini Magic of Books - this past week I decided that I was going to try and move this piece forward a bit because I would like to get more of the black completed.

What I discovered was this piece wasn't calling me, so it was time to put it down and work on something that I wanted to try and get more progress on. I tried to work on this piece for at least part of the week but after not getting a lot of progress on it, I knew it was time to put it down and try and work on something else.

Pandemic - here is the piece that has been calling me for a while, and I knew it was time for me to pick it up again to see if I could make some good progress on it. I wasn't going to pick this piece up until this Monday but after having some issues with Mini Magic of Books, I knew I needed to see if I could at least make some progress on this piece before the end of the weekend.

I am so happy with what I have been able to accomplish this week, and I hope that I can continue to move this forward this coming week. It is going to be the project that gets the attention this coming week as I would like to see how much more of it, I can get done.  Being able to lose myself in this stitching is making me feel so much better which is good. I know that i need to work on the projects that are calling me and if something doesn't work out I need to set it aside and pick up something else and hopefully I can make some good progress on it.

Piece of Wild Things - this is the knitting project that I was working on with the hopes to get it finished quickly and I was able to achieve that. 

I knew that if I could just focus on this piece, I should be able to get it completed and before very long I got it off the needles and now it is just waiting to be blocked and the ends sewn in.

Floating Shawl - here is the next shawl that I now have on my needles. This project is moving forward nicely right now, and we will see how long it is before it is finished. 

This shawl is going to be taking more yarn, so it won't be finished as quickly as the other shawls that I have been doing. At least I have been able to make some good progress on it this week, and we will see how it goes moving forward. I have wanted to try and make a shawl that I can wear that covers my arms more and I think is going to be the shawl for that. 

Other projects - I haven't worked on any other projects this week as I was trying to stay focused on work on the projects that I had on my needles. I do need to pickup my English Paper Piecing, so that is something that I need to do before the end of the month.

I hope everyone is finding that bit of time each day to recharge your personal battery as it is important to do that. If things go well this week, I hope to have some progress to show you next week on some of the projects.
