So, I was organising my âyarn roomâ and came across my WIPs. I decided to gather them up, and it turns out that there are quite a few
When I started crocheting and knitting more, I thought âPfft, WIP-piles. Iâll never have one of those.â Well⊠Sometimes you need to eat your words. And then eat them again, because the first time didnât make up for how wrong you were.
Random limbs that I donât have an idea what they were supposed to belong to, and bagged bigger WIPs:
Patterns that are in the making but put into the naughty/Iâll-deal-with-you-later corner for various reasons:
Extra: Failed designed patterns that will probably never be released (you can guess why my boyfriend thinks that Iâm starting to get an obsession with turtles):
So⊠How big is your WIP pile, if you have one? And whatâs in it?
If you donât have one, I hope you got a good laugh out of this! My emotions switch between half-crying and a maniacal cackle
Yep, thatâs how it goes a lot of times
But I do know some who have kept to the 1 project at a time
My WIP pile is out of control and has even branched into a UFO pile
But my current actual WIPs include a sweater for my son, a sweater for me (both are âscrappyâ), a temp blanket for my son, prototypes for one of my pattern updates, and a baby blanket for an almost 2 yrs old
Also, I encourage you to check out Make It Monday, WIP Wednesday share, and Finish(ed) It Fridays! (the last name came about when I was streaming and trying to get some of my UFOs finished⊠I wasnât âallowedâ to start a new project and would often work on one of the abandoned ones)
Wow, I canât believe I missed all of those amazing posts! Iâll definitely take some time to go through them from the start later, because I find all of this so interesting Thank you!
I donât have a picture of it atm but Iâm working on a hexagon cardigan.
Itâs taking so long but I have this whole plan to make a tank top and shorts to go with it
Oh, cardigans taking long is something I know all too well! The second picture with the bags are my squares for my (to-be) cardigan If I ever make one again, I think Iâll go bigger than 8x8 cm/10x10 cm squares (4"/4" or 3"/3"). Iâm almost done with making the squares though, but then Iâve been working on it on and off since March haha
I hope you get them done soon, it sounds fantastic to have a set!
Haha, I honestly donât know what the blue guy is either I think I called him âFisher Mageâ or something like that in the pattern (the orange hat is made to look like he has a fish on his head )
Well, if people seem to like him, maybe Iâll go back and make him a finished pattern at one point or another!
That said, yesâitâs quite amazing what WIPs and parts you find when you start looking The question that comes after is what to actually do with the lot!
The cows look fantastic though! I especially like the gray one
A fisher mage, thatâs so cute the other ones are so cute too, and I really like the dogâs face too.
Well, I think my WIPs are gunna stay in the basket until I run out of certain colors of yarn and have to undo them
Thank you ! It was my first try to make a pattern, and there is just too many things wrong, especially that they donât stand straight haha ^^ but I might retry one day.
I have two blankets, a link hat, a toddler sized hexi cardigan, a tapestry, and a couple amigurumi I donât have the patience to sew together I used to make sure to do one project at a time but
I have a lot. Thought about making a doll with all the leftover pieces. Most are clothing for them though.
My favorite is a butterfly blanket (2 actually) that I have crocheted. They just need to be connected. I think I will take them with to the senior center to teach people how to connect squares ⊠or wings.
Thatâs an excellent idea, and a very nice thought! Iâm really curious what it is thoughâis it patches made of butterflies that you connect, or how does it work? It sounds like it would be lovely anyway!
I have a few. A dragon, 2 cardigans, a flower top, and a blanket⊠I think thats it? Wips totally pile up lol I love the turtle with the green shell thats in your pile!
Thank you!
