Close to a finish and progress

Here it is the start of another week so we will see how things go. Just being able to continue to get things done would make me feel a little better about things. Just being able to continue to get things done so we will see how things go.

The weather here is a roller coaster as we have been dealing with warmer weather and then snow and colder weather so that doesn't make me happy. I know that the forecast for this coming week is another roller coaster so it doesn't make me happy so we will see what really happens.

Silver Anniversary - here is the project that I have been working on in the last week. This has been a goal for me to try and continue to get things accomplished so we will see how things go. I know that over this last week I have been able to make some good progress on this piece.

When I picked up this piece this week, I have lots of stitches to complete, but when I put it down today, I only have 312 stitches so it should be a completion before too long. I am so happy to see that I have been able to get this piece so much closer to a finish. I started this piece on February 13th, 2025, and my goal was to get it completed before our Silver Anniversary which is September 14, 2026.

This has been the piece that I have been working on every month since I started on it and it makes me feel a little better. It has been a bit of a challenge to continue to move this piece forward. When I started this piece I figured that I would be getting it completed around the 22nd of July of this year however I am very happy to see that I am going to be getting this piece done ahead of my initial goal.

Hedgerow Shawl - this is the mystery sal that I have been working on and I haven't been able to make a lot of progress on this piece. I hope that over the next couple of weeks I will be able to continue to move this project forward.

All the clues have been released, and I am still working on the 2nd clue so next weekend I should be able to share where I am on this piece, and you will what I have been able to get accomplished. This piece has been a challenge for me and maybe what I needed to do is just take each little bit at a time and not stress about the entire piece because I think that would have helped a lot. 

I currently have some mini bobbles to be completed in clue #2 and am not looking forward to them but we will see how things go.

Button Box Throw - here is the throw that I have been able to move things forward and it is making me feel a little better when I can continue to move this piece forward. It has been nice to see that I can continue to move this piece forward even a little bit at a time. I know that I haven't figured out how large this is going to be and maybe that makes me happy. I currently have three small balls of yarn and then have another 6 balls of yarn around 20 grams each so we will see that the throw looks like when I get all that yarn added, I do need to figure the yarn that I going to be using for the border as well so we will see what I can get done.

Other projects - I can honestly say that I haven't work on any other projects this week and a lot of that is because I have been focusing on getting Silver Anniversary closer to a finish and working on my knitting projects.

I hope everyone is finding a bit of time to focus on something that makes you a little better. It doesn't matter what you are able to do but just spending some time to focus on something that makes you happy is what you need to do.

This week coming I hope that I can get Silver Anniversary completed and we will see how things go moving forward. A bunch of things that I would like to move forward so we will see what I can get accomplished and hopefully I will have something to show you next weekend.
