This is a fairly good representation of what needs to be worked on and what I'd like to work on next. I have made a deal with myself that I can't start another project until at least two are finished. I'm heading to the Southeast Animal Fiber Fair in October, so I'm really hoping to have a few finished before I head out so I can bring a few more projects home!
I'm looking forward to meeting some Ravelry people while out at SAFF in Asheville this October, so if you are out that way lets get together for some yarn fun!
If you are like me and need some encouragement to help you get you UFOs turned into FO then check out the Ravelry group Year of Projects. It's a great group of talented crafty friends who post each Sunday to talk about their progress, show off some beautiful work and encourage each other. You will have to be a member of Ravelry but if you are into fibre crafts it's the place to be.
A comprehensive list for the year ahead and I look forward to seeing pictures of the items you are working on, as the weeks go on. I like that our group has a mix of people who work on one project at a time and others who work on many. Good luck with your WIPs ahead of the festival. 🙂
ReplyDeleteIt is quite the list..lol. And I have to restarin myself from adding items to it. If I run across a started project I will add it so that I can keep myself accountable but I'm trying not to add new projects..
DeleteI do enjoy seeing who other people work their projects, but then there is always something new I want to add to my list!
Over the years, I think everyone's list has evolved, and indeed during the year. Yours is great, with a good mix of wips and some lovely new starts. I'm sure you can finish up some of those wips!
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your confidence, I'm going to need a large cheering section I'm afraid to keep me on track or at least hold me accountable.
DeleteIt seems like there are lots of clothing options on the lists this year, maybe I'll be able to add my cardigan to the finished projects!
What a great comprehensive list and one that will help you stay on track with getting those wips done but I like that you've also added in your new starts and things you'd like to begin also, this will help keep it interesting for you.
ReplyDeleteIt is quite the list, and it feels like a good time to really dig in and get somethings done.
DeleteI think we are sisters separated at birth....actually I'm probably old enough to be your mother but you get my drift. I too get overwhelmed not just with my WIP list but my house and garden and decorating and budget....but I must admit, when I do feel overwhelmed I sit down and work on a (mindless)WIP and think about the next 3 priorities I need to do (non-craft related) sitting and crocheting or knitting or cross stitching helps me relax and focus on what truly needs to be done that day. We have some similar WIPs too....you can do this....1 WIP at a time! Here's to a great productive year for all of us! Hip Hip Hooray! Hip Hip Hooray!
ReplyDeleteYES, YES, YES to all of those things. I think we are at the very least related..lol
DeleteI can't wait to compare notes on our progress this year!
You have some great WIP projects. I look forward to seeing them as you finish them. And the new starts! Some beautiful blankets in that list. So glad you're joining back up with a Year of Projects, Allison!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by and for all of your kind support this year and in prior years too!
DeleteI'm hoping to have a few more finishes than starts this year!
Looking forward to getting to know you this year. I was an original member of this group way back when and the last 2 years I tried to join in, I ran out of steam with blogging and stuff--I know how that feels. :) You have so much to work with here on the list---one breath at a time, one project at a time. My new theory regarding old wips, if it isn't bring me joy, I can frog it!

I've been around for a few years and I seem to start out pretty good, then fall away but I'm hoping that I can keep myself accountable to the group and really make some progress this year. It's such a great group of bloggers and so many great finishes as well as new projects I'm looking forward to a great year.
DeleteThose WIP's should be finished quickly. You do such beautiful work with your hook and yarn. I am looking forward to watching finished items filling up your blog each week. Happy to see you back again this year.
ReplyDeleteOh my you have more faith in me than I do..lol
DeleteAnd i Appreciate your wonderful comment, it really does mean a lot when it comes from someone who does absolutely beautiful work herself! I hope to have lots to show off this year.
So many great wips....you can do it...one wip at a time!
ReplyDeleteThat's it, just one step at a time, not getting in too deep that I can't see the ending, so I lose interest and have to start another. I really think this will be the year to start clearing some of these UFO out.
