Another week and some good progress

Here it is the start of another week, and I can say that I am happy with the progress that I was able to make last week on a couple of my projects. Of course, things again were a little different so didn’t get the focus that I wanted on things but at least I was able to get things done.

Pandemic - here is the project that got the most attention again this last week. I wanted to see if I could move it forward a bit more.

It was nice to be able to work on this piece for a bit longer and see that it is getting closer to a finish. I still have over 22,000 stitches to go on the piece, so a finish isn’t going to happen in the next little while. This project is going to go away for a couple of weeks as there are other projects that I would like to try and move forward a little bit, so we will see how that goes.

Junos Garden – here is the piece that I picked up after working on Pandemic as I wanted to see if I could at least move this one forward a little bit. As this is also a monochrome project it does move forward quickly as you aren't changing colours. It has been nice to see this project come back out even if it was only for a day. 

This piece has been a lot of fun to work on because there are different sections that are part of the entire design so that means that I can work on a different area if I want to and that makes it such a nice project to work on. Given I only had a day to work on this piece I decided to work on getting more of the border around the centre of the design completed so now when I pick it up I can either continue to work on the middle section or I can finish this part of the border and then out to work on some of the other areas. 

This piece is going to be a project that I pick up every now and again as I don't have a deadline on it and it is just a fun piece to move forward even a little bit at a time. 

Toque - this week I decided that instead of working on my shawl I would start to knit a toque for a change. I didn't get a lot of it completed but at least I got it started and that is what I wanted to do. I have decided that I would like to try and make a few toques to use up some of the worsted weight yarn that I have. We will see how that goes and how many toques I end up making.

Hopefully through the winter months I will be able to sit and work on toques some of the time so that I will end up with some toques that I can donate to a place that needs them.

Other projects - I was able to spend some time working on my English Paper Piecing this past week, which was nice. I hadn't picked it up much lately so being able to see the progress on it that I did was nice. I will post about that on the 1st of November.

I hope everyone has had a good week and you have found time to do something that you enjoy doing. Making sure we take a bit of time for ourselves and recharge our personal battery. If things go well, I hope to have some progress to show you next week on a couple of projects. I haven't decided what will get the attention this week yet so we will see what gets moved forward.
