Making progress and lots of focus

Here it is the start of another week, and we have had another week of very cold temperatures and wind chills, so it has made it a little harder to go out and enjoy things. Hopefully the temperature will improve this coming week so we will see how things go.

Pandemic - believe it or not here is the project that came out this week and instead of focusing on getting a lot more of the full crosses in I worked on getting quite a bit of the backstitch completed on this piece. You won't see the entire area that I worked on because I did scroll the piece down so that I could continue to get things done. 

It is nice seeing quite a bit of the backstitch completed and now I am going to be focusing on these last three pages that I need to finish up and then it is scroll to the bottom and add that remaining backstitch to the piece. There is still lots of stitching remaining on this piece but it feels good seeing that it is getting closer to a finish.

Argyle Sweater - this project got a bit of attention as well as week as I wanted to see if I could make some good progress on it.

I am going to see if I can continue to move this piece forward because it would be nice to get this piece finished soon but we will see how things go. If I can get more of this sweater would be nice so we will see what happens. I am thinking that being able to at least spend a bit of time working on this project over the next week would be good so we will see what happens. 

Talisman Shawl - here is the shawl that I have been continuing to work on as much as I can. It has been nice seeing that I have been able to continue to move it forward. I have finished the first ball of yarn and am now working on getting the second ball of yarn into this shawl and finished.

I am going to try and get more of this shawl completed before the middle of this week when I have another knitting project that will be getting my attention. Hopefully I will be able to get quite a bit of this done.  We will see how early this week goes as I know that I want to get more of this shawl done.

Hedgerow Mystery Knit Along - here is the project that I am going to be starting as soon as the pattern is released. I am going to be looking forward to seeing what this shawl is going to look like.

Over the last couple of weeks my biggest decision was to figure out the yarn that I wanted to use for this piece. We were told we needed three colours and the name of the design but that was it. It is always interesting to try and figure out your yarn colours.

I won't be able to show my progress on my shawl until the pattern is released in March, but I will let try and talk about any of the issues or challenges that I am having each week.

Other projects - this last week I haven't picked up any of my other projects, but I am happy with the overall progress I have made on things. 

If you are like me and enjoy the Olympics, I think I know where your attention is going to be for the next couple of weeks. I know that I have been enjoying what events that I can watch. The time difference is making a bit difficult to watch the events that are of interest to me. There have already been times when I turn on one of the events and all I get to see are the medals being awarded. We will see how things go over the next two weeks but at least I am getting to see some of the events so far.

I hope everyone has a good week and you are continuing to find that bit of time to do something you enjoy each day. If things go well this week, I hope to have some more progress to show you next week. I will be working on the Talisman Shawl as well as Pandemic so we will see how the week goes.
