My WIP Graveyard – the crochet edit!

Last week I shared my knitting WIP shame.  As promised here it my Crochet WIP list.  This list is MUCH shorter (yay!) but I still feel a little shame-faced!

Exhibit 1 (m’lud)

What is it?:  This a blanket that I use every day, even though its not finished.  It still has the ends that need weaving in and it has 22 rows and a border left to do on it.

Pattern: Cosy Stripe Blanket

Started: December 2016

My excuse for not finishing: It works as a blanket already and its not that interesting to crochet.  It was also too hot to crochet a blanket in the summer!

Plan: Maybe I should crochet a row or two whilst I’m using it as a blanket.  I could get it finished in a few weeks I think!  I have other WIP I want to finish first though!

Target: To be completed by January 2018

Exhibit 2

What is it?:  This is a shawl pattern released by Scheepjes, week by week as part of a “Crochet-Along (CAL)”

Pattern: Hygge

Started: February 2017

My excuse for not finishing: I really enjoyed the excitement of getting a new part of the pattern each week and looking at what everyone else was making.  Unfortunately I got a bit behind and when there were no more patterns to “hurry-up and finish this week for” I got bored.  BLIMEY! this post is really telling on my psyche! I think a psychologist would have a field day with me!! hahaha!

Plan: I only had about 5 more rows and a border to go.  I will finish this at some point but right now I’m not that excited about using it.  It is super beautiful though!

Target: February 2018

 

Exhibit 3

What is it?:  Another blanket….

Pattern: Last Dance on the Beach (Last Dance in the Rain colours) by Scheepjes

Started: February 2017

My excuse for not finishing: This is one that i periodically pick up and do a few squares on.  I’m excited to have it finished but it doesn’t fuel my quest to learn new stuff so I only do a couple of squares at once. 

Plan: I think this is a good winter project.  I should aim to get this done by Christmas I think!!!

Target: December 2017

 

End with some good news

The scarf that I wrote about in my Knitting WIP post has been finished! 🙂 🙂 I messed up the join a little bit, but it is warm and snuggly.  Only time will tell whether I will wear it but its been finished at least!  WIP Graveyard has started shrinking!

So what about you?

So…are you a WIP-horder or are you super disciplined about your crochet projects??

If you’re a horder, help me out and share your shame too!  I dare you to share your WIP shame in your own post…!!

If you’re super disciplined, share your secret! 🙂
