Getting closer and some good progress

Here it is the start of another week and at least today is a holiday for us so that means another day where I might be able to make some progress on projects that I would like to get moved forward.

Pandemic - yes, this project came back out for another week as I wanted to see how much more of it, I could get completed. It has felt good seeing the difference I can make in a week when I can sit and focus on just sitting one piece. 

This piece is now not going away until it is completed as I have one section to finish stitching and then a bit of backstitch to complete at the very bottom of the piece. I am happy seeing that it is getting closer to a finish, and I know that I am going to be working hard this week to see how much of this I can get done. I have around 3,200 stitches left on it besides the backstitch so hopefully before long this piece will be finished.

Argyle Sweater - this little project got a bit of progress on it as I wanted to make sure that I picked up something else for a little while and get some progress in on it. I am now down to adding the last colour to the piece so that might be a finish before long as well.

I do have some other sweaters that I want to stitch so getting this done completed would be nice. I will see if I can find a bit of time to work on this piece during this week, but we will have to see how things go.

I am really enjoying having some small projects to work on and I am thinking that once Pandemic and Silver Anniversary are completed the smaller pieces might get some more attention for a little while.

Talisman Shawl - this shawl did get some attention this last week as I have been trying to work on getting it finished up as quickly as I can. I am now down to knitting the last two rows of the shawl and then the cast off so hopefully this will be a finish before the end of this coming week. The completion of this project will be based on how much time I have to actually pick it up and work on it. It would be nice t see this shawl finished up before long so hopefully I can find that bit of time needed to get the rest of it done.


Hedgerow Shawl (Mystery Knit Along) - the pattern for clue 1 of this shawl was released on Thursday and yes, I have started it, but it hasn't got a lot of attention but at least it has been started.  I do know that this shawl is going to challenge me a bit so I will be taking my time working on it so that I don't have to rip some rows because I made mistakes. As this is a mystery knit along, I won't be showing any pictures of my progress until the overall pattern has been released. 

Other projects - considering the number of projects that I have talked about here I haven't had a lot of time to work on anything else. I am going to be trying to at least continue to focus on getting these projects completed over the next little while. This week I know that Pandemic and the Talisman Shawl will get some attention and then after that I will see what grabs my attention.

I hope everyone has a good week and you find that bit of time where you can relax and recharge your own personal battery. If things go well, I should have some more progress to show you next Monday. Until, then have a good week and take time for yourself.
