I'm older and don't know what that means to export your progress. How did you learn to do this please?

I want to wip down as well. But I also want to start Rose Library and the library of dogs. So I have the feeling that for me, its going to be a fail. But my goal is now to stitch on every wip this year. Happy crafting

I have to start rose library. I like the idea of finish friday. I enjoy knitting the patterns: musselburgh hat and oslohat. Happy crafting

I have a similar goal, I have 31 WIPS. I am going to fill in my WIPGO 2025 board by adding the WIP I am working on finishing to the board on the number called. Hard to explain, but basically if I am working on finishing Kringles and Mother Moon I will put them on whatever numbers are called that month. I will work on two projects at a time until they are finished. I know we can do this!!! Happy Stitching 😀🧵🪡🧶🪡

Love it. Tricky with so many full coverage

I've been trying something similar but it seems as much progress as I get, I keep starting more things 😂 I hope you have success with your plans. Happy stitching! ❤

Great idea Jamie, I wish you all the good luck with this idea. I can’t follow you as I am the person with 200ish wips (about 115 are fc) and I want to start more. Love your videos. Stitching greetings

I have been in the same mindset of WIP down but UGGGG it is hard. I like that you are just jumping in and not starting at the end of the year, that has given me some perspective. I LOVE people's process videos and how they come up with the how and why and exactly their plans on how to tackle things. I have an atrocious number of WIPS. How will you tackle any new patreon charts? That is where I get excited to start something new b/c creators are always tempting us, would it even be worth it to be a part of a patreon knowing you have these rules, it is a struggle I have lol Oh also, how will you handle cropping, like sometimes I get into a chart that might be over 100k but then I am like gosh I could crop this down to be under 100k so then would you just slide it into that category? Full coverage charts that can be cropped in a whole thing I have started.

Good luck in reaching your goal, I am always amazed how people manage to organize so many wips. I do allow myself some wips but I usually spread them across different crafts. That way my brain doesn't guilt trip me into thinking that I should finish xy first. For example I have a spinning, crochet or knitting, sewing and 2 or 3 stitching wips. The stitching wips are one each of the following categories: Long dog sampler, full coverage, Mirabilia/Nora corbett, Mill hill, etsy. I am also a gamer and DM a D&D campaign, so I always have a bit on my plate 😅

Awesome video xx

That's a great idea and I really like the fact that you decided to start right now and not leave it for later! I've been trying to reduce my WIPs too since the start of 2024. I started with 60 and I am down to 56 right now. I only work on 12 active WIPs so that I can see more progress and more finishes. I am also on no new starts mode, apart from a couple of SALs that I join every year, but I have to complete them in 2024. 6 finishes in 2024 (I started 2 SALs) and I am aiming for 12 finishes in total, hoping to drop down to 50 WIPs by the end of the year. Also, I included my 5 oldest WIPs in my active list. I will allow new start if I manage to get the 12 finishes for the year! Good luck to all of us who try to reduce our WIPs!

When i was at 9 wips i said i wanted to go down to 4 as fast as i can. Now i am at 26. I have no idea what went wrong there 🤣 I hope it goes better for you than it did for me with wipping your wips down :)

This is what I need to do with my knitting projects. I have only 3 crossstitch projects rn but manyyyy more knitting and crocheting projects.

Wishing you all the speedy stitching vibes! I know how you feel about wanting to finish things! Must. Stitch. Faster!

Very excited to see these!

I don’t have too many wips (16) but I have 3 tubs of patterns. I started a pattern diet last year. I have been kitting up new starts from my pattern stash. Of course tastes change but I have plenty I still want to stitch. I always enjoy your updates

I don’t have many stitching WIPs but my knitting WIPs are crazy! I am working hard to stick to knitting on my WIPs with very few cast ons. Your plans sound great for your stitching practice. I assume you are happy with your knitting projects. Good luck with your new plans. 💜

🪡👍🏽

I hope you are successful wipping down and find a number of WIPs that's comfortable for you. Happy stitching 💜

❤️

This is a great idea! I love the large vs small idea. I have like 15 WIPs I think and I try to stay around there because I love having finishes but love huge projects. I’m still deciding what to do next year for goals but SammyJ Stitches has categories so you could copy some of hers

I too am struggling with the feeling of too many WIPs. I will be excited to see how well this works for you. I haven’t quite figured out where I would be comfortable nor how to get to that magic number. I am excited for you.

Thanks!

Great plans! I have over 60 WIPs and I’ve been trying to wip down, I think this is the kick in the behind I need to catalogue my WIPs and their current status to wip down. 😊 thanks so much for the video and motivation.

You go girl. What ever floats your boat. Plans change. Thats why i dont make to many plans or goals cause something always flips my boat over. It sounds good but font forget to add in time for socks😊

😊🧵🪡🤗🤩

Goals. I like it! I am also trying not to start anything else until I finish at least one. I don't like to keep working on things year after year.

Great plans!! I have recently been thinking about this slot. I recently added up the few wips I had in the table by my chair I sit in. I thought I bet I could finish these in 5 years (most full coverage). I was wrong, OVER TEN YEARS based on how many stitches I average each month. 😞. This really has changed my way of thinking and yesterday I went through most of my wips and purged ones I like but just can’t picture finishing or wanting to hang. I feel better and am going to continue to try to whittle it down even more.

Oh have fun! Good for you! I am currently in the I’m going to start as many projects as I want phase 😂

Great plans! Have you thought about picking one chart that's close to a finish and working 1 strand a day or 25-50 stitches a day. This can be rotated out weekly or monthly. I miss your wheel 😂

Great idea Jamie. I think it will keep the "pressure" off. There are some stitchers who love a 100/200 etc around them, while others don't. I'm now at the stage I want to get three more finished then give it a break for a while going onto another hobby. The way I'm going it will take a long time lol. Have a good week. Take care🤗🇬🇧

Omg! Focus/Finish Fridays has been game changing for me! I'm excited to see how it works for you! I think once Pokemon is done I have to decide how I'm going to utilize it because none of my other BAPs are even close to being done 😅😂❤ The socks are so lovely!! I'm so excited to see all you've been knitting lately! Your needles are on fire 🔥

happy to see you again <3 love all your progress and plans <3 kisses from brazil

❤❤❤

You got a lot of progress! I give you so many props! That backstitch would drive me crazy! 😂

Your shawl looks so soft and you should enjoy cuddling in it when cold weather arrives. In winter I keep a few shawls around the house so I can grab one when I need it. You’re making great progress on your stitching! Enjoy it.

❤❤❤

Autumn Harmony is gorgeous. And I love all your fun socks!

I loved your video.

Good work on Kira. It is going to feel a bit weird when it won’t be part of your videos anymore. (But I look forward to see your Link).

Vanilla socks are probably my most favorite thing to knit. I saw your shawl and had to go download the pattern. I have lots of scrap yarns that would probably knit up beautifully together.

Glad you’re back! We were about to riot 😏

Beautiful progress and congrats on your shawl and sock finishes! There's nothing wrong with vanilla socks - they're perfect for showing off that colorway.

Hi Jamie I am so glad that you will be back to making weekly Videos. Yeah! I have been missing you. Harmony is looking fantastic - I just love her. Beautiful Progress on her. Love your other WIPS - Beautiful Progress on them. Love your Shawl - this is so pretty and cozy warm. Love the Colors. They are very pretty. Love your Socks - those Colors are so summery - ice cream colors. I just love them. I love your other socks that you are making. Take Care & Happy Stitching - Knitting ❤️🤗🧵🪡🧵🧶❤️

Its amazing how different a chart can look with the addition of back stitches. Have a good stitchy week. Stay safe🤗🇬🇧

I am so happy that you are back, missed your flosstube videos. I just bought the rose library too 😂 happy stitching

Your 2 newest full coverages are beautiful. I will enjoy seeing them progress as you stitch.

Your stitching is beautiful! I love Rose Library and Cosy Winter Book Nook! I've ordered a huge piece of 25ct fabric for more full coverage starts and they are at the top of my list. Thank you for sharing and enabling ☺

This was a lot of fun to watch. Because when it came out, I immediately bought it. Because pink witches, books, plants and cats. Nothing can be better. Love it. Still not started it. Because I have same problem, a lot of projects. I read the first book of a court of thorns. But maybe it was me, but it feels like that sexual abuse was kind of romanticized (I hope my english is right and you know what I mean). Happy stitching

You are such a bad influence on me, so many times when you post a video, my wish list grows longer haha 😂😂😂 Ivy Dolamore’s art is so pretty, so this is definitely going straight on my wish list - I have at least grown enough that I haven’t bought it straight away cuz I already have too many patterns lol, but this is defo up there on the list 😂🥰 I was so excited to hear you finished all the cross stitch for Kida, that’s really impressive! was not expecting that! And 2000xx in one day! I have never got anywhere close to that! 😱 well done you! And VERY excited for you to start Link, he’s in my stash but no idea when I will get to him. So hyped for the new Zelda game, so excited to be able to play as Zelda 🥰 although I’m same that I probably won’t get it right away, I also spend less time playing these days, I’m still working on TotK, ALMOST finished, got all the sages, just bulking up with more shrines before I attempt ganondorf I’m also saving up for a PS5, as I really want to play FF7 rebirth, FF16 and BG3; do you play any of those? I’m planning on asking for Amazon vouchers for Xmas and birthday so hopefully can get it then 🤞🤞🤞 Looking forward to your next video, always enjoy them 🥰
