Work In Progress

The big question is… “Is there ever not a work in progress?” Any serious crafter will recognise that concept. I honestly can’t say that I’ve only got one WIP on the go. Some of them might be physically on the knitting needles, crochet hook or hanging from my macrame stand; others are progressing in my head.

The less tangible WIPs are just as important as the ones that have are a recognisable item. Sometimes the ones in my head can determine how I finish the ones already started. I’ve got one of those brains that is constantly trying to solve a problem, tackle a challenge or find a solution to a task that is baffling me when I know there’s a better way to do it.

I guess my main WIP at the moment is writing up my patterns (as I mentioned in my last post). I’ve decided after tackling the first few that I actually really enjoy it. It’s a new challenge and one that is making me look at my work in a totally different way. I’m becoming a lot more methodical when jotting down the particulars of the patterns I’m designing.

Thankfully I also have my graphic design skills to rely on for the actual publication of the pattern. It's fun being my own client, but also a challenge in itself - seeing the wood from the trees in your own work can be difficult. That's where testers come in and I've now got a couple lined up.
