Moving two projects forward

Here it is the start of another week and hopefully I will once again be able to make some progress on things. The weather is supposed to be warming up as well this week so that would be nice.

Mini the Forgotten - here is the cross stitch project that got my attention this last week. I picked it up on Monday with a goal of seeing some good progress on it before the end of the weekend and that I did.

Now that I only have four pages to complete on this piece, I am trying hard to get as much stitching in on this piece as I can. This past week I worked on one colour on the two pages for 5 days before that colour was finished and I started working on a different colour. So, this week I only added two colours to this section of the design, but I am happy with how much I was able to get done.

This project is going to be put down for a little bit as I do want to add some stitches into the second WIPGO project that was called for April. I hope that I can get those stitches in quickly and maybe I will pick this up again as I am looking forward to seeing this piece finished.

Gradient Shawl - this shawl did get quite a bit of attention this past week as I have been trying to move it forward again. My first goal this last week was to get all the yarn knit back into the shawl that I had to take out and then see how much more of the shawl I could get done. It does feel good because I have now started the fourth colour.

I am going to continue to work on this shawl as I am also looking forward to getting this finished before too long. It is a fun project to work on because it is easy to do but the rows are getting rather long, so it does take a while to get across the row. Including the ball of yarn that I have on the go I have three more balls to add so it is going to take me a while yet before it's finished.

Other projects - this past week I have been able to pick up and work on my English Paper Piecing a bit, so I have started to see some progress on one of those projects as well.

This week I hope to be able to continue to work on my shawl and I will see how much I can get done on the other WIPGO project.  I would like to see if I can get Mini the Forgotten out for when a day or two to try and move it a little closer to a finish.

I hope everyone has a good week and you find time to do something that you enjoy. If things go well this week, I hope to have some progress to show you on my projects again next week. It is also Easter this coming Sunday, and I hope everyone as a good long weekend.
