Get rid of your UFO's playing the WIP of Fortune game!

[renegade]

I finished 2 of the projects on my list today (#1 and #5) - ends all woven in and all! I need to just do a little end weaving at a time, since I don't enjoy it. My next project is the striped afghan and I have a ginormous number of ends to weave in, so I'm going to alternate that with assembling my 63 more ghan and working on my table centerpiece. But not tonight, I have several parties to go to.

[renegade]

I was a weaving fool last night (it was a rough day, and I needed something mindless to work on), and I finished weaving in all the ends for #4 on my list, the striped afghan. I just have to do 2 more ghans (which may take a while) and the table topper, which I'll work on slowly!

 

Tonight I'm going to start assembling my 63 more ghan and hopefully work some more on my table topper.

 

Right now, I have 5 ghans ready to go to Project Linus. I need to get some good pictures, which I may do tonight...

Yeah, hopfully should get another one crossed off this weekend, have spent this evening stuffing and sewing all the body parts to the white cat, not 100% happy with it.

I also have swap items on the go that have not been put on to the list as they don't get put to one side like my own projects as there is a dealine to get them finished.

Roxy, if I had sewn the tail on I would NEVER be able to find the end to unpick it! Good for you!

[judianne]

Roxy, you're doing so great!

I wish I was...I'm sooooo easily distracted:blush

[slicer]

I haven't been in this CAL in a long time! I've been too busy trying to get HIJ projects done and sent out. I do think that I'm only down to 3 WIPs if you don't count lining bags.

[meganb]

oh, I so want in, but I only have 1 WIP at the moment, and thats cause its huge............. hubby wanted an afghan in Cleveland Browns colors, with a helmet on it, so I found the pattern, tunisan crochet, 240st by 240 rows. Darn thing is bigger than I am, only on row 70 out of 240. bad bad bad......

[Keitha]

I want in on this. It is just the motivation I need to finish some things. I will give you my count tonight.

[judianne]

Welcome, Kietha!

 

 

Megan, I'm not comfortable enough with tunisian to make graphs that way - I use sc or dc to do mine. You DO have along way to go!

[Krystal16]

Welcome to all the newcomers! I have finished a few of my WIPs this way, but also seem to have added in new ones as I go as well... so I'm still about even!

[meganb]

this is my first tunisian project EVER....guess I picked a big one, but hubby picked the pattern, and asked me to do it for him, and it was important to me since he didnt ask his mom, but me instead so I learned for him. The creator of the pattern said it was best to do it in tunisian so here I am. and I am working steady but slow...and I counted my rows, lol, only on 63 only a bajillion more.......I want to start working in panels of 10 rows, by 10 stitches and see if that gets me any faster.....maybe then I could do a panel or 2 or 3 a day. depending how they work up.

[goofy]

K~same here. I have finished a few projects this way but have added a new one each time I finish one. So I am about even also. But it is nice to finish up some of those older projects.

[tahlara]

This Cal really help me finishing up some old WIPs. Once things slow down on other CALs, I will be back.

[Krystal16]

Today's Project: Expanded Blue Star

[prairielady]

Is this CAL open to newcomers? I have been lurking on crochetville for several months, just have not posted yet. I have a growing number of UFO's that I want to get finished up. I seem to love to start a project but struggle in finishing one up.

 

Blessings,

Arla
