Hookers do it with WIPs and chains! We’ve all laughed at phrases like that but a serious crocheter always has WIPs, works in progress. January is a great time to go through your project and decide what to keep.
As I’ve said before, January is my time to make things for me and this quite often means finishing things. I’m working on a baby blanket for my friend’s first grandchild. I started it on holiday in September and the baby is due soon!
Spurred on by the deadline, I got the project out to take a look and didn’t like what I saw. The pattern was heavy and way too big. So, it got pulled back and I’m remaking it.
I found this lovely free pattern and decided to make it. I got quite a bit worked up, then decided it’s way to fancy for a baby, too many holes for little fingers to get stuck in. So, once again frogged it
In the end, I opted for a simple granny square, with a circle at the centre. And I have yarn left for some little accessories.
I’m sure mum-to-be will love this.
Don’t be afraid to pull something back if you don’t like it. It’s not a waste of time, just getting it right.
