Day 2 of #wipaholicsanonymous is #oldestwip My oldest work in progress is this #cozymemoriesblanket I've got over 400 squares done. It's be queen-size when it's finished. I started it in January 2016. What about you? What's your oldest wip? #knittersoftheworld ##knittersofnewyork #knit #crochet #crochetersofinstagram #dyersofinstagram #indiedyer #indiedyedyarn #yarnporn #yarnovernewyork #yony #yarnlove #tricot #tejer #stricken #sockyarnswappers #scrappyblanket #scrapblanket

But it doesn't grow as fast... 😂😂🙈💕 Day 2 of #wipaholicsanonymous from @ohforhookssake and @lottieandalbert is "oldest WIP"... 🙈🙈💕 This VERY SIMPLE AND VERY QUICK for knitting 🙈 knitted project has been on the go since 1st we moved in with Mum to save for @mrbrightsidenarrowboat ... 18 months!! 😱😱😱 I have no excuse... 🙃 it's not complicated, it's on 15mm needles with mostly chunky or multi-stranded yarn... 🙈💕 That little bit on the needle is all I have done this year of the second panel. I'm ashamed 😂😂😂 So I guess this should also be my Day 2 of the @knitcrafthq #bigspringyarnshare... WIDN 😄💕💕 http://ift.tt/2opjZwT

Day 6 of #wipaholicsanonymous is #bestexcuse My best excuse is NO excuse. I knit, crochet and dye because I have to. Some people chain smoke, I chain knit. Before weaving in the ends of these Lady Stardust Socks that I finished yesterday, I immediately cast on another pair of socks. Maybe my best excuse is actually that my needles were naked and I had to fix that. ;) What about you? Why do you craft? Do you make excuses? #knittersoftheworld #knittersofnewyork #knit #crochet #crochetersofinstagram #dyersofinstagram #indiedyer #indiedyedyarn #yarnporn #yarnovernewyork #yony #knitaddict #igknitters #tricot #tejer #knittersofinstagram #knitting #sock #socks #operationsockdrawer #sockknitting #nomorenakedneedles

Day 12 of #wipaholicsanonymous is #addiction I am totally addicted to knitting socks. I finished my gradient Vanilla Orchid Socks on the plane, so now I've cast on another pair. This time I'm trying 9" circs for the first time. I think I'm getting the hang of them. Anyone else tried them? Love them? Hate them? #knittersoftheworld #knittersofnewyork #knit #crochet #crochetersofinstagram #dyersofinstagram #indiedyer #indiedyedyarn #yarnporn #yarnovernewyork #yony #knitaddict #igknitters #tricot #tejer #knittersofinstagram #knitting #sock #socks #operationsockdrawer #sockknitting #nomorenakedneedles #yarnlover #ilovedyeingyarn #nevernotknitting

Day 1 of #wipaholicsanonymous is #declaration Hello, my name is Jessie and I am a master juggler of all sorts of wips. I knit, I crochet, I design, I dye and for a day job, I manage stage shows. Nice to meet the rest of you #wipaholics This us a photo of my new studio, which enables my many works in progress. 🍊🌈🍊 #knittersofinstagram #knittersoftheworld ##knittersofnewyork #knit #crochet #crochetersofinstagram #dyersofinstagram #indiedyer #indiedyedyarn #yarnporn #yarnovernewyork #yony #yarnlove #art #orangewall #sockblank #addictedtosockblanks #tricot #tejer #stricken

Today is the final day of #wipaholicsanonymous. The theme? #AllTheWIPs. The eight pictures here are all mine in various stages (barely started ---> a few ends to sew in). I really really like starting projects, but seem to have a problem finishing things. If you wanna know anything, just comment! :D (And yes, the top picture is my, "I love @magpie_and_goblin!" picture. A #nordictankdress, a #clusterfucksock and a #heartsock. I say one of each #sock as I'm a slow #crocheter and have only got one sock of each started.) I have 20+ projects here. I am a #wipaholic and I'm nowhere closer to finishing. #crochet #wool #happiness

I wish that was all for me (but it's not). #GoodFriday #ChocolateTomorrow (Also, trying to get pics of all my wips for #wipaholicsanonymous is taking ages, and my car has just decided to maybe go kaptuski, so my Friday is kinda blah.)

Yaay! My #wipaholicsanonymous win arrived today! Thank you @ohforhookssake!! Love it all (and the little card ❤)! :) #yarn

Day 7 of #wipaholicsanonymous is #KALCAL I'm going use this tag a bit liberally. Because I dye and design professionally, my "fun" crafting is often left to a minimum so I never really have time to hop onto any other designer's Knitalong or Crochetlong. However, I do the occasional Dyealong. Recently my dyeing friend @kzipknits and I did an international DAL and each created yarns based on a couple of beautiful images. I am sure we will do it again and would welcome other dyers to join. Is this something you'd be interested in doing with us?

Day 6 - Excuses. I need an excuse to do yarny things? Uhm... I needed to show off my bright blue hair to Judith in #RedAppleYarn? XD #wipaholicsanonymous #aftermidnight #myforehead #woolshop #LYS #nofilters #shoplocal #BuyLocal

Day 4 of #wipaholicsanonymous is #subscription I don't (and never have) subscribed to any craft-related periodicals (though my mother subscribes to ALL of them so I should get a free pass). However I have a couple of cherished publications, including the 25th anniversary issue of Vogue Knitting ;(truly an awesome collection) and some Rowan and a few other (mostly Interweave) magazines that's I simply cannot part with. My latest magazine craze is to buy a knitting or crochet magazine in non-English languages. I've got German, Italian and Japanese. I need more!! Okay, what about you? Any magazines to recommend? (North American or not) When I visit your home city, what should I look for? #knittersoftheworld #knittersofnewyork #knit #crochet #crochetersofinstagram #dyersofinstagram #indiedyer #indiedyedyarn #yarnporn #yarnovernewyork #yony #knitaddict #igknitters #tricot #tejer #knittersofinstagram #knitting #magazine #rowan #vogueknitting

For Decoration, let me show you one of my favourite makes that still gets used two years later - a #CaptainAmerica inspired lap thing. I made it for my friend's eldest and it stays at the bottom of his bed, and he loves it. That's why I make things, because I want the person who gets it to know how much I adore them. :) (I think my ultimate goal is to make everyone I love some sort of blanket, but that could be castle in the clouds sorta ideas.) #wipaholicsanonymous #crochet #gift #handmadeislove #loveineverystitch

Addiction. This picture has three of them (four?) - #crochet, #merino #yarn, @magpie_and_goblin patterns (they are written so well) and #TriskelionYarn. (Huh, it was four.) Crochet keeps me chill and I feel antsy without a hook and some yarn. Merino yarn is just heavenly to work with. Triskelion Yarn dye some gorgeous wool (and it's kinda local to where I live - support local businesses, people) and yeah, I've already mentioned the patterns. They're written clearly and yeah. Love all these to the point I'd probs go into debt for any one of them. (And now I'm gonna try watching #YGwyll - that's #Hinterland for you who don't speak the language of Heaven. So nice seeing #Aberystwyth and it's scenery!) #wipaholicsanonymous

And (almost belatedly) day 11 of #wipaholicsanonymous - library. I've been remiss and not gone around the house collecting up my books/mags/random print outs but this book stays with me almost all the time. It stays in my wip bag, and if I get bored/stuck I have a flick through it. If mam hadn't have bought it, I wouldn't be as obsessed with yarny crafts as I am now. (Yes, I'm saying my love of #crochet is all from my mother. 😆) Also, my Ravelry library is slowly being filled up by the awesome patterns that are available. (I'm always open to friends anywhere, so add me on Rav if you wanna - I'm tinknevertalks there too.) I might need to either purge or add to it. Meh. #LibrariesRock

Slowly coming towards the end of our shared jorney with #wipaholicsanonymous. Today I'm showing you my #stash. The drawers are full of #yarn, all of different materials and weights. The balled yarns are a mix of @trulyhooked, @devonsunyarns (poss not see able here but it's there), #TriskelionYarn, #EdenCottageYarns, #Araucania and @westyorkshirespinners. In the #Sainsburys bag are the remnants of yarn used for Christmas gifts (#ChristmasIsOnlySoFarAway if you wanna see some). The box has a mix of #acrylic, #wool and #cotton (including the cotton to make doilies), as well as some magazines. The #StarWars bag has a few wips and maybe some more yarn... The black material by the box is my #STARLabs bag which has #socks being worked on (literally the toe of two socks of two different patterns that I work on when I want something small). Not pictured - the second box (upstairs), the bags that hold different blankets and the bag for @deltadasher's #HeidiBears #stegosaurus. If you got through that, congrats! #ITalkTooMuch #crochet #crocheter
