Making some progress on my projects

August 31, 2025

Here it is the start of another week and yes, I can say that I have made some progress on things. The weather has been a bit of a roller coaster this past week, but it has been a good week for me to sit and try and get some crafting done.

Pandemic - here is the piece that was the stitching focus for the last week, and I am very happy with how much progress I was able to make on it.

What is amazing is I had another page finish so that means I now have 8 pages left to stitch. (Last week I thought I had less pages to go). This week I was trying to focus on working the design from left to right so to see if I could get close to another page finish and hopefully before long, I will have the centre page finished from this row.

I don't normally show three pictures of one piece, but I wanted to show the difference between when I picked it up on September 1st and now when it has been stitched for almost three weeks. This piece is going to be put down for at least a week as I will be working on Silver Anniversary to try and move it forward some.

Elfish Shawl - this is the shawl that I started last week, and I have been loving working on it. The pattern is nice and easy, and it does seem to work up pretty quickly which has been nice. I started this shawl on the 14th of the month and have been able to reach the 70% completed mark so that is nice. I hope to be able to spend some more time this week working on the shawl and we will see when it is completed.

Of course, now that I am getting closer to a finish it means that it is time for me to start thinking about the next shawl that I am going to knit. I have a few ideas, but I haven't decided on the one that will get onto the needles first.

Other projects - this past week I was able to find a little bit of time to work on my EPP which was good and hopefully I can find some more time this week to make some progress on it.

I have been trying hard to keep a focus on only a couple of projects at a time and it has been helping me see more progress on things. Of course, there is still a pile of things that want my attention, but I am trying to keep a focus at least as much as possible.

I hope everyone is finding that little bit of time each day to do something you enjoy doing. It can be anything you want it to be but making sure you take some time to relax and recharge that is what is most important. Hope everyone has a good week and we will see what I can get accomplished this week and I will show you what happens next week.
