A slower week

Here it is the start of another week, and it is a holiday Monday here in Canada as it is Thanksgiving for us. Yes, we celebrate Thanksgiving the 2nd Monday of October, so it is time for the turkey dinner and for some pumpkin pie.

This past week there wasn't a lot of crafting that got accomplished but I did at least pick up someone each day even if it was only for a few stitches. I continued to move things forward so that was most important.

Juno's Garden - this piece did get a little bit of work but not as much as I would have liked to see on it but at least I moved it forward a little bit which was good. Now to see if I work on this for a bit more this week or if I will be picking up a different project. I think this week, it will be a different project so that I can get at least the 500 stitches in on the second WIPGO call for October.

I know that I have a lot of projects that I want to work on so what I am going to do now is figure out which ones are going to get the most attention between now and the end of the year.

Little Meg Shawl - large version - here is the knitting that got a bit of attention as well this week. One thing that I did do was change onto the circular needle so that I had some more room to work on the shawl and not worry about dropping stitches off the needle when I moved the project.

It has been nice having this project to work on even if it is just a couple of rows at a time. I am continuing to move it forward and am looking forward to seeing what it looks like when completed. I know I still have a ways to go before it is done.

Other projects - this past week I decided it was time to pick up and work on my English Paper Piecing for a little while and I am happy to see that I am finally moving projects forward again at least a little bit.

This past week has been a little different for me as I did give myself permission to just hide and not put all the various demands on myself. It has felt a lot better as I have just taken it easy and accepted that if things didn't get accomplished as quickly as I wanted that was ok.

I hope everyone has a good week and hopefully I will be able to make some more progress on things this week. Again, I am going to be giving myself permission to not stress about getting everything accomplished extremely quickly. Moving things forward is always good even if it is just a little bit at a time. Hope everyone has a good week and you remember to take that time for yourself.
