Three finishes, is that really possible?

Here it is the start of another week. The weather has been a little crazy this last week with rain, freezing rain, ice drizzle and even some snow. It has also meant that the temperature has been fluctuating quite a bit. Hopefully the weather will improve soon, and we will be able to see some of the snow melting.

Pandemic - here is the project that I have been trying to focus on, as one of my goals was to get it finished before too long.

This past week I decided that it was time to just push through and get it finished. It did take quite a bit of time this last week to finish up the top section and then get all the backstitch that I needed to do on the bottom row of 5 pages. I am happy seeing this piece completed and it wasn't until I took the piece off the scroll frame that I realized how large this piece really was.

I started Pandemic on August 20, 2020, and it was finished on February 21, 2026, so yes it did take quite a while to do but I also didn't work on it much some years. Last year and this year were when I put the focus in on it and I went from not having much of it done to having a finish. It is nice having this piece completed so now it is time to try and pick up another project and get it finished.


Argyle Sweater - this is another project that I wanted to see if I could get it finished up because there wasn't much more of it to do.  Just sitting and focusing on it would get it finished and while watching the closing ceremonies of the Winter Olympics I was able to finish it off. It feels so good seeing another ornament finished.


So, here is the second finish for this week. It has felt good getting some projects finished and hopefully this will continue as I would like to see some more things off the list.

Talisman Shawl - here is the knitting project that I have been working on. As you can probably guess by the title of the blog, I was able to spend some time this last week getting it finished.

This shawl does need some good blocking before I will be able to wear it but at least it is now off the needles and ready for some blocking. It was a nice project to work on and now I need to figure out another project that I can work on.

Hedgerow Shawl - this shawl didn't get a lot of attention this past week,so I need to sit down and focus on it for a while and see how it goes. I know that I should be able to see progress on it if I just sat down and worked on it for a little while.

The second clue was released this past week, and I haven't even finished the first clue, so I need to spend some time trying to get caught up. Maybe this week is the week that I will focus on it and move it forward a bit.

Other projects - I have been playing around with a couple of other things, but they haven't got far enough for pictures, and they might not even work out.

I have been able to make some good progress on some projects and yes, I got three finishes this last week. I won't be getting three more finishes this week, but I am going to try and make some progress on things. Hopefully you are finding some time each day to recharge your personal battery. If things go well, I hope to have some progress on something to show you next week.
