Made some progress in the last week

Here it is the start of another week and hopefully I will be able to spend some more time trying to move a couple of projects forward. The weather here has been cold and areas around us have been getting snow.

Pandemic - here is the project that came out this last week to get some attention. My first goal for this past week was to get a page finish, and I was able to achieve so we are getting closer to having this row of pages completed. There are still 2 pages to go, one is full size, and the other is only a partial page so we will see how quickly we can get these two pages completed.

Yesterday when I was working on it, I reached the 75% completed mark and that makes me feel very good however there is still over 19,000 stitches left to go so we will see how things go. I will be working on Pandemic again this week so hopefully I can get closer to having the last two pages of this row completed and then it will mean I just have the top row of pages to do. I am so looking forward to getting this project finished but I do know it is still a going to take a while to get it done.

Little Meg Shawl - large version - here is the knitting project that has been getting my attention over the last week. The rows are continuing to get longer, and it takes longer to even see any progress on this shawl. There are still almost 30 rows to go on this piece so hopefully I can focus on moving it forward again this week so that I can finally see it finished.

I am finding that this project has been taking me a while to get completed and not certain why that is. I know it did sit for a while without a lot of attention and that probably hasn't helped. Now to see if I can at least get this shawl finished so that I can start something new and hopefully it won't take as long to finish as this shawl.

This week I hope to be able to make more progress on this shawl, and I am going to try and get at least two rows completed a day because that helps me move it along. The ball of yarn is slowly getting smaller, but it still is rather large. This yarn was over 200 grams so instead of using two balls this was just one ball of yarn and maybe that is also what seems to be making this project feel like it isn't getting very far.

Toque - well this project didn't get a lot of attention this past week but at least I was able to finish knitting the rows and the decrease. All that is left to do on this project is to get it off the needles and sew it up. Hopefully early this week I can get this toque finished up and then I will see what toque I will work on next.

I am in no rush to get the toques made so they will be going to charity once I find a place that would like to have them. There is one yarn shop that collects items but they only do it in October, so I have lots of time to make some more items to have them ready for next year.

Other projects - I haven't work on any other projects in the last week as I have been trying to focus on both the shawl to get it finished and Pandemic to get it closer to a finish.

I hope everyone is finding that bit of time to do something that you enjoy doing each day. Make sure that you take some time to recharge your personal battery because if you don't, it will be hard to be there for those around you.

Have a good week and I hope to have some more progress to share with you next week.
