Wip Wednesday

[patelyne]

 So the last WIP Wednesday of the month has been the one where I show how much I’ve gotten done on my WIP of the month. 

But this isn’t going to be one of those posts.

Why? Because that would be a terrible post showing a project not much further than the last time I shared it.

Instead, how about all the things I’ve done that aren’t that project

 

Around the start of week 2 I decided to learn how to double knit in three colors. Since then, I’ve gotten this far on that hat-

Last week I fell down a YouTube/blog tutorial hole, and decided I should learn how to macrame. That led to this little test project (made in yarn, while I waited for the cord that just arrived yesterday)

Last weekend I decided to pull out the spinning wheel and work on the never ending grey-dient I’ve had on it for ages. Made a little progress, here’s what I have now -

Which brings us to yesterday, when I started a test knit for another designer.

I can’t share the pattern/link yet, just know it will be super cute (and I’ll link when it’s done)

 

I’m almost afraid to make a WIP goal for next month right now, so I think I’ll give it a few days and see how all these other things are going. I’ve basically been doing whatever I could to keep my brain busy, and I’m honestly not sure the project hopping is over yet.

(related note- Tomorrow afternoon is going to be a rough one, so any spare thoughts would be appreciated)

This is how my brain has been lately too, but you've gotten a lot done!

I know it all adds up to something, but it’s still so much unfinished stuff! (and possibly a new craft hobby, which is dangerous. Oops)

Ooo, the double-knitting looks fascinating!

Also, as someone who is sufficiently geezerly to have done a lot of macrame back when it was The Latest Thing, that plant hanger is nice work.

Double knitting is going slow, but it’s really cool. My projects before used the same picture on both sides, just with reverse colors (and only two colors) so this was a bit of a jump difficulty-wise. Plus it had been a looooong time since that last project,

Thanks! Macrame was just going out as I was growing up, so I missed it the first go ‘round. It’s pretty fun, so I hope to get a couple projects done while it’s still ‘in’
