Moving projects forward again

It is hard to believe that another week has come and gone. I know that we have been busy so that might be one of the reasons why this week seems to have gone by so quickly. Hopefully this coming week I will be able to find some time to do some more crafting as I know that looking at the planner, the beginning of the week has quite a few things that need my attention. We will see how things go and hopefully there will be some more progress to show next week. 

Of course, I am going to be trying to at least move my projects forward a bit again this week so we will see what happens. I do know that seeing even bits of progress on the projects makes me feel good, so that is once again the goal for this coming week.

Silver Anniversary - here is the project that got the attention this week. I wanted to see if I could continue to move it forward and I think I was able to accomplish that. I decided to try and work on filling in a section, and I made some progress on it.

My goal this past week was to try and at least get the diamonds completed in one section of the piece and I got that accomplished and then it was to start filling in all the little triangles that needed to be completed. I got all of the diamonds completed and some of the triangles done but there is still a ways to go before this section is totally filled in. I figured trying to focus on a section instead of bouncing all over like I have been doing might be a good idea.

This project will now go away until closer to the end of November when I will pull it out again. Giving this project one week a month has meant that I have been able to see some good progress on it without getting tired of working on it.

Toque - this week I made a bit of progress on the toque that I have been working on. I need to get this to 10 inches before I do the decrease so that means that I still have a bit more knitting to go. It has been nice to have a project that doesn't have lot of stitches on the needle.

We will see how much of this project I can get accomplished this coming week. I would like to be able to get this project completed as there is still a lot of worsted weight yarn that needs some attention. Being able to spend some time working on toques has been nice as they are something that is very easy to piece up and work on.

I am going to look at the different toque patterns that I have so that I don't end up working on the same pattern all the time. Hopefully by the time I have done these hats I will have a variety of styles.

Little Meg Shawl - large version - here is the other knitting project that I have been working on. It doesn't look like I did a lot but there were quite a few rows added to this project. I am now at almost 400 stitches on the needle so that means it takes quite a bit of time to even get a couple of rows completed. 

I know that this shawl is going to take a bit longer to complete as I need to reach around 580 stitches on the needle before it is completed. I am enjoying working on the shawl, but it does take quite a while to do so not a shawl that I am going to be making again for a while.

I am of course thinking about the next shawl project that I would like to do so that means figuring out the yarn and the pattern that will be the next one. The next project will be a bit of time before it gets started but at least figuring out the next one would be nice.

Other projects - I did pick up and work on a crocheted afghan that I have been working on a while. I didn't take a picture of it as I only got a bit of a round completed. Maybe this week I will see if I can spend a bit more time working on it. I don't crochet as much any longer as it has bothered my wrists.

I hope everyone is finding that bit of time each day to do something that you enjoy doing. For me, I know that even spending 15 minutes doing something that I enjoy helps a lot. Now to see what I can get accomplished this week as I know that I have quite a few things on my plate that I need to get done. Have a good week and hope to have some progress to show you next week.
