Making progress and a challenge

Here it is the start of another week and hopefully the weather will continue to improve, and we will start to enjoy the nicer days. We have seen the sun a little more than we were seeing so that is nice and now to see if the weather will continue to improve and we can enjoy temperatures like we have seen the last couple of days for more days.

Junos Garden - here is a project that I worked on over the last week. I am happy with the progress that I made on it. There is still quite a bit to go but at least I have been able to move it forward this past week. I know that spending a week on a project is helping me move things forward a little more.

Before I picked up the piece this week, I had the outline of the centre completed a little bit of the instead done but this week got me to a point that I am happy with how it is turning out. This pattern was a charity chart by Modern Folk Embroidery, and you had the option to do it all in one colour or 5 colours. I decided that I would do the one colour version and have been enjoying working on the piece. The project will be going away for at least this week as I have another project that I want to move forward.

Button Box Throw - here is a project that I worked on quite a bit this last week as I have been enjoying it. This is a square throw that I started doing the magic loop method. I had wanted to try the magic loop technique for a while so when I saw this pattern I figured I would give it a try. 

I had never done the magic loop before and after watching a really good video I decided that I would give it a try and see what happened. As you can see, I have been able to make some good progress on this throw and am looking forward to seeing how it turns out. This is going to be a scrap throw, so the colours are going to be changing anywhere within the rows. The pattern does call for some eyelets, but I decided to leave them out and just work it plain. You may see three needles right now and that is because I was in the middle of changing the needle length when I took this picture.

Hedgerow Shawl - I am continuing to work on this shawl a bit at a time and am hopefully this week I can get more of it done. The entire pattern has now been released but it is still a secret until the 19th of March when the pattern is released to the public. I am just starting the second clue, so I am still way behind but at least I am moving it forward slowly.

Other projects - I haven't worked on any other projects this past week as I was trying to focus on getting stitches in on the two main projects that I worked on.

This week I hope to be able to find some time to work on my Hedgerow Shawl as well as continue on the Button Box Throw and work on my cross stitch. This week Silver Anniversary will be coming out, and I will see what I can get done on it. 

Hope everyone has a good week, and you take some time for yourself each day to do things you enjoy doing.
