WIPs and UFOs - Exposing my unfinished craft business! | Dopamine Diving Ep 3

In todays podcast we are going to explore my WIPs dungeon... AKA al of my unfinished Works In Progress.
In this episode, I'll be sharing some of the unfinished projects that I really want to complete but always seem to grow instead. I'm talking knitting wips, crochet UFOs, sewing, quilting, embroidery, spinning yarn and even some woodworking projects that are all yet to be completed!
Whether you're a seasoned crafter or just starting out, I hope this podcast inspires you to take on your own creative projects and perhaps even get back to some of your own unfinished craft projects. So, grab your sewing kit and let's dive into this exciting and slightly terrifying journey together!

Hello Amy, I couldn't even finish counting my WIPs /UFOs. 🙃 I think I know the market you are talking about. It's not local to me either but wll worth the drive. I look forward to seeing your "shop", how exciting. Good Luck.

1 sock unicorn, 1 vest, 2 baby jumpsuits, 1 pair of pants, 1 tshirt… those are my wips…… and sooooooo many plans 😂

I'm afraid I'm a very naughty girl! Across all my crafts I have too many WIPs to list here without feeling embarrassed. My oldest WIP would have to be my Lizard Ridge Blanket that I have knitted all the squares for, but not sewn them together or added the border. It was started in 2007 so has been on the go for 17 years! 😊

The wips that come to mind are...

I am ashamed to admit that I recently came across a top I started making in the '80s which I kept to finish it then donate, as the fabric is lovely, and it's a useless waste otherwise. It will never fit me 🤣 My other UFOs include a wool jacket, two quilts, and an embroidered cushion. They are the ones that came to mind, but I'm pretty sure I will find more in my craft cave!

I have three button-up shirts and one t-shirt cut and ready to sew, I have just started cutting shorts. Two of the button-up shirts are long-sleeved and a heavier cotton so they will wait until autumn. The short sleeved shirt is set aside as candy for when I want to sew something that I know will be super cute. The t-shirt is waiting for me to re-learn how to thread my overlocker - any weekend now. The shorts are experimental but would be great to have soon. Cutting shirts in batches of at least two is the only way I can cope with all the damn pieces and not feel like I'm wasting time. Even though I don't cut them stacked, but still... production line helps me stay on track. Whee neurospicy.

My wips aren’t too bad right now, and they’re all knitting at the moment. Socks, fingerless gloves, leg warmers, and a cardigan vest thing, well and I’m about to finish a test knit pullover, which I know I’ll finish because it’s a test so I have to lol

How many WIPs you ask?
