This Old Wip - Episode 1
I’m starting a new series called:
“This Old Wip”
This is my first episode in my new series for 2024 where I will be showcasing old wip’s (works in progress) and Ufo’s (unfinished objects) that I’m completing this year. Thank you for joining me here and seeing what old projects I am working on and completing slowly but surely.
Enjoy! Happy Crocheting. 🧶 😊

We start new things, so we don't forget the inspiration 😊..it's ok..me too...I have to make tags for projects so I don't forget pattern name or hook size...🎉

So true!.... Gotta stay inspired. CroJo loss is just rude. LOL 😂 That is why I started keeping a notebook with pattern and hook size even what yarn I used.
You will always be the OG Alaska Crafty Gal know matter where you are. OMG Great job Victoria! Congratulations of the finish line

Thank you so very much, Stella! It feels really good to be crossing these projects off my “to do“ list. 👍🏻😊🧶 I agree… Someone will love it. I might also just keep it for a future grandbaby just depends.
Victoria your blanket turned out fabulous 🤩 TY for the steaming tips , I will definitely be trying your helpful tips in the near future.

Thank you so very much!😊🧶👍🏻 yes, I received a lot of different tips from my friends here on KZread and I’m telling you… Steaming was the best tip of all! The border definitely helped a lot but steaming the yarn loosened it and relaxed it and it laid completely flat within like five minutes!
Aww congratulations on getting a wip finished yay one off your list

I LOVE your Tunisian scrap blanket! The border you used looks fabulous. I wouldn't part with my steamer for anything. My bff gifted it to me I know the stitch as the moss stitch.

Hi LindaJean! 🙋🏻♀️ Thank you so very much! I didn’t want to part with my steamer when I left Alaska it just seemed like something unnecessary to move. I agree with you though I will never part with this one. I love it so much. Yes it’s weird how they seem stitch, has so many names… When I first learned how to do this sitch, I was learned it as the linen stitch. I feel like most people know it as the Moss stitch though. 🧶👍🏻❤️
I love your blanket! Yay on completing it! 🎉 as soon as i read the title i thought of "This Old House" 😂 i used to watch that growing up and we only had 3 channels.

Thank you Ella! 😊 That is EXACTLY what I was referring to when I thought of doing this series! 🤣Good old Bob Villa! 🏡
Hi friend 👋🏼 hearing you say "This old WIP", reminds me of Bob Villa and THIS OLD HOUSE, hahaa Oohhhh, Tunisian crochet is an adventure in itself. Beautiful blanket. That border is so pretty too.. I think it's also called imitation brioche crochet. Hmm, I don't know why it has so many names. I like it tho hahaa

Hello my dear! That is EXACTLY what I was thinking when I decided to do this series. My dad loved that show! Which meant I lived that show ( I’m a daddy’s girl) ❤️ I think that’s why I grew up loving to refurbish and restore old furniture. I also have done many “fixer upper” projects throughout my life. Thank you so much! I love it too! 🧶❤️🥰
Love how the blanket turned out I remember when you started it it's beautiful ❤️

That Old Wip going to be awesome. Loved how you finish the blanket. I know it as the Moss stitch but that's from the tutorial I first watch talking about it. When you go back to a project from awhile back, Do you notice a difference in your tension?? I have a blanket from years ago not sure how many. Hope you're staying warm. It's cold here.

Oh thank you! 😊 I thought it would be a good series seeing how I have so many works in progress at various stages of completion…🤣 sometimes I find my tension is different especially if it’s a particularly old project. If it’s tighter, I just go down a hook size and if it’s looser, I just go up a hook size… I just fudge it until it looks the same. Yes people learn that stitch by different names. Based on how they were taught that stitch. I learned it as the winning stitch when I first learned how to do it. I also found out it’s called by another name now too! 😳 lol
