Progress and a finish

Here it is the start of another week so that means it is time to see what I was able to work on in the last week. The weather has been cooler so that has meant more time to be able to focus on getting things achieved.

It has felt good having the cooler weather because it has made getting work done a little easier as I have been able to focus on things. It also meant that I was able to pick up my projects and make some good progress on them as well.

Silver Anniversary - here is the project that I pulled out to work on this past week. I have been trying to get this project out at least one week a month most months since I started it. It has felt good because I have been able to continue to get more progress completed on it. I hope to be able to continue to give it a week a month as I think doing that will help me get it finished before our Silver Anniversary.

This past week I decided to try and get to the top edge of the piece so that I could figure out the actual size and I was able to do that. Being able to focus on moving the piece forward was good and I made sure to work on trying to get the left edge of the piece completed so now the first two columns are totally completed. I will see what area I work on next time I pick it up, but it might be the top section so that I can move the entire piece towards the right.

Now that this piece been given it's one week for August, it is time to put it away and pull out my first WIPGO project and see how I can do on that. For September I will be only pulling out one WIPGO project as it was called twice so this project should get quite a bit of attention or at least I hope it moves forward quite well.

Floating Shawl - this was my knitting project as I was trying to move it forward and maybe even get it finished in this last week. When I originally picked up this piece, I figured it would take me between three and four weeks to get it finished given the size of it.

The good news is it didn't take me even three weeks to get this shawl off the needles and waiting to be blocked. It took me 19 days to complete this shawl, and I am extremely happy with how it turned out. Being able to see the size of the shawl was nice and I know that once it is blocked it is going to look so much nicer.

Now that we have the cooler weather, I am going to be blocking a few shawls so that I can start wearing them and I can't wait to do just that.

Other projects - well I haven't spent a lot of time working on other projects as I have been trying to focus on moving these projects forward. 

Of course, my EPP did get a little bit of attention, but I will write that post shortly. Just being able to focus on getting a couple of projects moved forward each week makes me feel so much better because it shows I can get things done when I focus on them.

I hope everyone has had a good week and you are finding time to do things you enjoy. This coming week I will see what progress as I can make on my projects as it looks like it is time to figure out the next knitting project that I would like to do.
