Wednesday WIPs!

I know it’s later in the evening on Wednesday (so if you’re seeing this/posting on Thursday that’s cool too!), but what’s on everyone’s hooks/needles? Please remember to credit your pattern’s designer and the pattern name in case others want to find it! :smiley:

This is my current project/design that I’m working up!

Beautiful! :heart_eyes: Is that inspired by the feast of the Immaculate Conception by chance? :blush:

I am currently working on designing a little mouse doll for my niece’s Christmas present. She’s inspired by the Sophie Mouse book series :smiling_face:

It is! :smiling_face: I worked on the graph on Sunday and the simple version, then I wanted to add the 12 stars and color changes and make a pillow.

Your mouse is super cute! That face shape and ears are perfect and adorable! :mouse_face:

Thank you! :orange_heart:

The star design looks so delicate and pretty! It will make a lovely pillow :smiling_face:

The star took a few tries since mosaic requires drop downs, and changes the color every row. :sweat_smile:

I’m not sure if you’re asking me, or Hobbitsy :smile:

If you’re asking me, I just kind of combined my knowledge of tapestry crochet and mosaic. Mosaic gives more crisp designs, but tapestry is generally the go-to for lots of color work since mosaic’s rule of thumb is traditionally to only use 2 colors and alternate between them every row.

I just kinda mooshed them together because I wanted to use more colors, with the definition overlay mosaic gives :joy: So right now I’m working on where best to do the color changes on each row so they don’t show through weirdly.

I miss wip Wednesdays! We used to have a dedicated thread to come back to every week, this was years ago though :smiling_face_with_tear:

The tapestries look so nice and clean! It’s pretty impressive your combining techniques to get that! Looks great!

Im currently working on a test, and some fingerless gloves for Christmas gifts :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: we’ll pretend there aren’t abandoned wips sitting in a bag under my desk lol

I love those eyes! :heart_eyes: I also really like painting my eyes, but I have to contend with cat fur :rofl:

I love doing WIP Wednesdays and was actually thinking it’d be awesome to have it weekly. I love seeing what everyone is working on! Plus I mean, I wanted to include the knitters if they care to join us hookers :grin:

I’m not even going to shame myself with how many WIPs I have waiting in the wings as well. :sweat_smile:

My dogs stay away from the office for the most part so it all gets done there to be safe lol

We only have a 1 bedroom apartment at the moment, so there’s nowhere for me to hide from the cats :laughing: Hopefully houses or more than 1br will become affordable again some day :folded_hands:

:astonished_face: Wow looks amazing!!! I’m currently working on a snake and a chicken


Sorry I haven’t posted a pattern in a while :disappointed_face: December is waaaaaay too busy
