WIP Wednesday - New Year, Same List

It is the same list, but at least it's getting smaller! I need to go through my stash soon and decide what I'll be trying to make this year for 'fun' and what fabrics I'm ready to re-home. I am definitely feeling a little less pressure now that the list is getting caught up and have been squeezing in a few quick and fun projects, like the Midnight Kiss pouch from Sincerely, Jen, and a sherpa headband.  I swore (to myself) that I wasn't going to try the headband, but then I saw it in coffee cup cozy sized and kind of fell in love, so I broke down and bought sherpa. And then it sat in the bag for the month of December while I was trying to frantically finish stuff. I decided to try the headband anyway, and it's pretty cute! I adjusted the headband to be a 24" strip and it's much less 'head squishing' but still pretty snug and warm.  

Original smaller version, at least it's cute!

My plan for 2022 is to keep the order list shorter, with faster turnaround, and more fun projects in between to keep myself from getting burnt out. I need to slow down on fabric buying too, but that is MUCH harder ;) I'd also like to finally finish up a few UFOs that are taunting me every time I run across them...then I can finally list them and send them off to a good home!

Current Crochet Projects:

• The Child giant version - only needs his clothes!
