Week 3/52 of YOP16

YOP16 has just begun and I guess I was already off on the week numbers. Hopefully I am on the correct week now.

Knitting Plans/Goals

July Goals: Complete at least ½ of the Knitmas in July KAL. Not a hard pattern but there were issues with the cast on. Complete the yoke of my Father’s Day sweater. Complete one of the pair of my 250th socks. Finish a hat for charity. Keep working on the shawl.

Progress: I completed ½ of section 2 of the KAL. This one is growing on me on the likeability feature. Just knitting round and round until the two decreases on the sock. The recaston sweater is moving along. I am almost back to where I was before frogging it. The hat has joined a new color and just working round and round until the crown decreases will appear.

Sewing Plans/Goals

July Goals: This month I am sewing for Christmas in July. Trying to get a jump start on sewing gifts.

Progress:‍ ‍I have completed almost all the hats I had planned (okay I finally ran out of the yards and yards of fleece I had purchased for this project before Joanns closed). I only have a few to attach a brim to and then that can be checked off the list.

Embroidery/Cross StitchPlans/Goals

July Goals: I need to settle on a project. This is harder than it first appeared. I have no shortage of contenders. I am beginning to realize why these projects have lingered in the WIP pile for years.

Progress: I found another distraction project. I bought more of the stitching fabrics from the same person on Etsy and am working on a shirt for my back to school era. I should be able to work on this for at least a week or two.

Crochet Plans/Goals

July Goals: Completed at least ½ of the baby blanket I have begun crocheting.

Progress: The blanket has grown and is now a 1/3 complete.
