Whip the WIPs in 2009 !!! - Row A Day CAL

[goofy]

all cought up with 16 inches done.

[Aussie]

I have done more squares and am now up to S129, still behind but Im trying to catch up.

[sewnsew]

I'm on the border of my shawl now. I should finish it sometime today.

[PBLKNP]

I finally got strip #7 done. I've so far sewn strips 1-3 together, 4 & 5, and 6 & 7. Now I just need to sew these different sections together. I find I like to do the sewing as I go along, so that I don't have a lot to do at the end.

[ldyer1]

Where the heck am I supposed to be??? I really need to start doing my half row a day so I can keep track lol.

[jenuwhiner]

I'm afraid I'm going to have to drop out of this CAL. My daughter decided she no longer wants the checkerboard so tonight she will frog it and roll all that yarn back up. I guess that is what I get for telling her she can have whatever design she wants. This time I will tell her after I start it there will be no stopping. She is stuck with it.

Sorry I disappeared - I have been SUPER busy since HB is out of town... I haven't even picked up a hook since school started! (That was labor day). It's been almost a whole month!

[ldyer1]

Thats just wrong! I have picked mine up just not done much with it lol.

[alwayscrafting]

I'm here again. I am going to drop my scrap aghan and add my Scripture ghans...

[Krystal16]

Tomorrow, I hopefully get to breathe and stay at home.

 

I worked on my Bear Claw today - the first I've worked on anything since Labor Day. I'm now up to Row 210, and I have about 115 left to go.

 

OH MY!

[slicer]

I've done absolutely no cleaning or organizing yet. And Chris comes home on Tuesday. I better kick it in high gear until then. Then I'll be pulling the flag ghan out to restart the 1/2 square a day to get it done! can't wait to cross that one off the list!

[goofy]

I am on schedule and am up to 19 inches with 17 more to go.

[Krystal16]

OK, rotating through these projects is getting too cluttered in my house, so I'm just going to work on them one at a time until either (A) they're done or (B) I have to change things up again.

 

I'm going to try to finish 6 rows/day on my bear claw. If I work on it for 20 days, it should be done. It seems like FOREVER!!!

[sewnsew]

Krystal I finished it today

[Krystal16]

Here's a poll for you:

 

Should I:

 

(A) Finish the projects that I can have done the fastest FIRST, so I have fewer WIPS? (One I can have done in 4 days, another in 5 days)

 

or

 

(B) Finish the projects I am making for myself FIRST, so I can enjoy them? (The bear claw will take me 20 days, the blue star another 10, grandmother's lace a LOT of days!)

[auntbubbels]

I would go with A so that you will feel an accomplishment and then be excited to start the others

[ldyer1]

It depends on whether fewer WIPs will make you start more things lol. I usually try to finish up quick stuff first just so I don't have to think about them anymore...but then I add to my list.

[slicer]

Krystal, for you I'd continue with 1 row a day on the Bear Claw since that is for you, and then work on some projects that will get done quicker so you have fewer WIPs. This way you wont feel quite so overwhelmed, but you'll also feel good about working on a project for YOU!

[SheffnJerri]

Hi All. I haven't been in here since I finished my red and white checkerboard. In fact, I haven't crocheted much since then. We were moving and I didn't want to start anything else. Now, all the boxes have been unpacked and I have to reassess (sp) my wips. I may be back in here shortly. Til then...I'm cheering you guys on. :cheer

[tahlara]

I would do a combination of A and B... For instance, work on bear claw or star first. Then work on a fast wip. Continue doing it for 4 -5 days until the fast wip is done. That way it will feel great to get a fast wip done while bear is like 1/4 done or star is 1/2 done.

 

Do it again with 2nd fast wip. Then star might be done at same time, or bear claw will be about 1/2 done! At this point, two wips are done and another wip could be 1/2 done or all done.

 

(hope it make sense)

[The_Virginia_Hooker]

A would be what i would choose, although the way i am, i'd start more stuff again.:blush

[goofy]

I'm cought up again on the afghan. I keep trying to get ahead but then get sick of working on the baby afghan. I keep telling myself that the sooner I get it done the sooner I can work on more stuff for my own little one.

[PBLKNP]

Well, I sewed all my strips together for 1 through 7. It looks great so far! I'm now working on 8 and 9 simultaneously, to alleviate the boredom. I hope to get one or both done by Friday.
