Another week and some progress on things

Here it is another week, and I have been trying to make some progress on things so we will see how things go. I haven't been able to make a lot on progress on projects in the last little while but this last week I decided to try and see what I could get done.

I know that it would be great to always have a pre and post picture but sometimes this just doesn't happen, and this blog is one of them. Google is making it difficult for me to show both pre and post pictures if I am don't work on a project in a couple of weeks.

Half the Fun - this is one of the projects that I worked on this week, and it makes me happy to see the progress that I have been able to get done. I ended up adding just over 1,000 stitches in three days on this piece and it makes me feel good. Now to see if I can continue to move this piece forward as it would be nice to see it completed before too long. 

Granny Wrap - here is a project that I just started this week and it is using the yarn that I had thought of using for the Button Box Throw. This is the Granny Wrap, and it is something that is easy to work on and something that I can work on a little bit at a time. I hope to be able to continue to work on this piece as it would be nice to see how this turns out and how large it turns out as I am currently trying to use one type of yarn for this shawl.

Serpentine Pavillion Shawl - I did get a little bit of progress on this shawl. I do enjoy working on this project and hopefully I will be able to get back to making some more progress on it. The cable is pretty easy to do, and it has been nice working on something that is a little bit different. I am going to see if I can at least make a bit more progress on the shawl over the next couple of weeks as it would be nice to see this one completed before too long.

This is one of the patterns from The Shawl Society Season 6 book by Helen Stewart. I do enjoy working on the various shawls that she has and I do have lots of her patterns and that is nice as it will help me use up some of the yarn that I have purchased.

Twelve Days of Christmas - here is the other cross stitch project that got some attention in the last week. I had wanted to get all the borders completed but instead I worked on getting the inside of the 2nd Day of Christmas completed. It was nice to see some progress on this piece so now I have three more borders to complete and 9 days. This project is going to go away for a little bit just so that I have a bit of a break from it.

Other projects - I haven't worked on any other project this past week as I was trying to try and focus on moving what I did work on forward. It felt nice seeing that what I worked on did get the progress on them that I wanted.

This week I am not certain what projects that I will work on, but I do hope to make some progress on what I touch. Moving projects forward does make me happy and now to see how things go. If things go well, I should have some progress to show you next week.

Hope everyone has a good week, and you find some time each day to do what you enjoy.
