Here it is the start of another week. This last week seems to go extremely quickly, so now to see how this week goes. Of course, there are things that need to get completed for work and I also would like to see if I can spend some more time crafting.
Pandemic - here is the cross stitch project that got the attention this past week. I picked it up and the first goal I had was to get the border completed on the piece or at least make some good progress on it. Having that as a focus meant that I was able to pick up the piece and work on achieving that goal.
I wasn't certain if I could get all of the border completed by the end of the week but Sunday morning, I could say that the border was completed and now just the inside of the piece to complete and that felt good. There is still lots of stitches that need to be completed but at least I was able to move this piece forward and that make me very happy.
This piece is going to be remaining out for a bit longer as that was the final WIPGO call for the year and now I have the week that I have been working on Pandemic each month. I do hope to be able to continue to move this piece forward even more this week as I am now excited to see the entire piece finished.
Memories of Juneau - this was the knitting project that was going to get the attention until it was finished. I didn't have a lot more to do on this shawl, so it was just a matter of a couple of days before this piece was finished. It was a fun and simple project to work on, and I know that I will be using this pattern again for another shawl as it was fun to work on and something that I didn't need to have the pattern in front of me all the time.
Of course, now that this shawl was completed, I needed to figure out something else to work on, so I picked up a project that I hadn't worked on for a while as I was waiting to start a new project until this week. There are a few projects that I have been put down for one reason or another so I knew that it wouldn't take me long to figure out a project that I could work on for a bit.
As I am writing this I am sitting and I know exactly what yarn and project that I am going to be working on this week. It is going to be a new start, and I will be using some yarn that was gifted to me. I cannot wait to get it started today so hopefully I can get my work done and then there will be a new start coming up.
Simply Curious Shawl - cotton version - here is a project that I started earlier this year and I put it down when it got hot out and I wasn't enjoying working on. The pattern is very simple to do but it was the yarn that I wasn't enjoying working on, so I put it in some time out and it did help.
I picked this piece up for a little while over the last few days and I was able to make a bit more progress on the shawl which did make me happy. I am still not enjoying the cotton yarn, so I am not going to be forcing myself to continue to work on this piece until it is done. I will work on this shawl a bit at a time, and it will get completed but not at the speed that a lot of my shawls get done.
Other projects - I haven't had a lot of extra time to work on things so that has meant that the crafting time I had was focused on these couple of projects. Being able to spend some time just working on a couple of projects has helped quite a bit as I am seeing that I am getting things moved forward and even finished.
This week I know that Pandemic is going to be getting some more attention and a new shawl will be started. Other than that, I am not certain what I will be working on as there are things that I need to wrap up for Christmas given that is next week.
I hope everyone has a good week and you find some time to do something that you enjoy doing. Also, remember if you aren't enjoying working on a project it's ok to put it in timeout for a little while and then pick it up again.
