Two finishes, some progress and new starts

Here it is the start of another week and hopefully this week I will be able to continue to make progress on some of my craft items.

With it being the start of a new month there are work things that need my attention so I will be focusing on getting those things done today and then I will see what else I can do. The weather is cooler than it has been but at least we didn't get the snow that north of us got. Some areas got over 5 feet of snow over the weekend which is a lot.

This week I have some plans on what projects I would like to work on so I am going to see how things go and maybe I will see progress on things. I do know that I have been loving my knitting recently and have been doing quite a bit of that.

  Let Flowers Grow - this is one of the projects that I have been giving a bit of attention to, but I still have a ways to go before this is done. I have been trying to work on this project a bit at a time as I would like to get it finished.

Part of what I am not looking forward to is working on the little bees that are on this piece as they are going to take quite a bit of time for how small they are. I hope to be able to get them started before long because then I can work on them a bit at a time instead of trying to do them all together.

Ramsay - here is the last Christmas ornament that I need to stitch. I decided it was time to pick it up and get it started. I don't think it will take me long to stitch it. Once it is done, I will have to finish the three of them into ornaments so that they are ready to be given as gifts on Christmas.

I stitched the other two of these in the summer and am not certain why I didn't just get this one stitched at the same time. At least I have a couple of weeks to get this one done but I think it is going to be a focus so that I can get it finished.

Noelle Scarflet - this last week I decided that I was going to work on getting this project finished up and it didn't take me long to get it finished. I enjoyed working on this project and hopefully I will be able to make another version of this before too long. I do know that I would knit it on slightly larger needles next time.

The yarn that I used was slightly tonal which meant that the scarflet is not all one colour. It would be nice to get another one of these done before long and see the difference in the two of them.

Little Meg Shawl - I am happy to say that I did get the last stitches cast off on this shawl and it is now finished. I am very happy with how it turned out and I do know that I will be knitting another one of these before too long. I still need to block this project but other than that it is ready to wear. Of course, you know what happens when I finish a project, I quickly need to have something else on the needles.

Vignette Wrap - here is the project that I started shortly after finishing the Little Meg Wrap.  This is a wrap, and I am looking forward to seeing how it turns out. I got this pattern in the Knitvent 2024 book by Helen Stewart.  This project again has an increase section but after this there is a section that is straight and that is where I will determine how long I want it to be. The pattern says the length is 104 inches, but I think I may be making it a little shorter than that.

This project has been enjoyable to work on and it does have the feather and fan sections in it so that does give it a different look. I hope to work on this some more as I would like to get into the straight section before too long.

Ex-boyfriends shawl - after starting the Vignette Wrap, I decided that I wanted a simple project that I could pick up and knit on when I needed something like that so I started this project. I am not certain how big this shawl is going to be because I am using a 5 skein bundle that I got a while ago. What I am going to do is just knit each of the skeins until they are finished. This is going to be a fun project to work on as I can just pick it up and not have to think about the pattern because it is only two rows.

Other projects - I haven't worked on anything else in the last week but given that I have been working on all of these projects I think that is enough.

This week I hope to be able to try and focus on a couple of the projects and I will see what happens. I do know that I will try and get Ramsay done and I also know that I will be working on my knitting as I have been really enjoying making the various shawls.

I hope everyone has a good week and you remember to take a bit of time for yourself each day to recharge your personal batteries. If things go well, I should have something to show you next week.
