Progress and a new start

 

Here it is the start of another week and hopefully I will be able to make some progress on a few things. I know that there are a few things that I would like to try and get done so that means that I am going to have to try and focus on them and see what happens.  

I hope to be able to spend some time working on the projects that I would like to move forward so will see what happens. The weather is cooler now so that means more time to be spending indoors and curling up and working on my various projects.

Let Flowers Grow - I was able to spend a little bit of time working on this project and I have almost finished the house. I hope that I can continue to move this project forward as I would like to have it finished before long.

It does feel good seeing that I have been able to continue to move this project forward as I didn't give it as much attention this week as I would have liked. Hopefully this coming week I will be able to spend some time moving it forward. 

This last week I decided to focus on an area of the design instead of working on one colour through the entire design and I think that has helped some. It now means that I am getting sections done. Hopefully I will be able to continue in this manor and see more of the piece come together.

Little Meg Shawl - this project did get quite a bit of attention last week as I am looking forward to seeing what it looks like when it is finished. I did have to finally put the shawl onto a circular needle because I was running out of room on the straight needle that I had been using.

I am making progress on the shawl but must admit that the rows are taking a while to do now, and I still have another 200 stitches to increase on this pattern before it is done so it is going to take a while. I am loving how it is turning out and cannot wait to see what it looks like when it is off the needles.

I hope to be able to continue to work on this piece this week and will see how much more of it I can get done. Seeing what I can get accomplished in a week is good, but it still shows me that I have quite a ways to go before I am finished with the shawl.

Noelle Scarflet - here is a new project that I just started over the weekend. This is another Helen Stewart pattern, and it isn't going to be very wide at all. This pattern was in her Knitvent book for this year and the pattern was released on Thursday and when I saw it, I immediately wanted to start it.

This pattern uses sports weight yarn instead of fingering, so it does seem to knit up faster and because the rows have been so short that also has helped. I am going to try and work on this project a little bit at a time as I am looking forward to seeing what it looks like when it is finished.

Other projects - I have been able to get a little bit of my English Paper Piecing done as well so I will have some to show you are the beginning of December. It does feel good seeing that I have been able to move it forward a bit as well this month.

This coming week I am not certain what I will be working on, but I do know that I would like to move the shawl forward a bit more as well as my cross stitch. Being able to try and stay focused on just a couple of projects makes me happy because I see progress on them.

Hope everyone has a good week and remember to take that bit of time each day to recharge your personal battery.
