WIP-ing Down 135+ Projects: Week 3 Check-In

Summary AI

Marbel, the yarn dyer behind Rainier Roses, hosts a weekly check-in video where she shares her progress on multiple projects. She begins by explaining that she has four bite-size goals for the week, including working on her Color Riot shawl, Dead Outlaw cross-stitch, finishing a Krampus piece, and fixing the neckline of her Northwoods V-neck sweater. She discusses her motivation for using smaller goals to maintain excitement and avoid the cycle of starting projects and setting them aside.

• Marbel completes colors five and six of her Color Riot shawl, reaching the halfway point of the color section.
• She stitches 312 stitches on Dead Outlaw, finishing the skeleton's hand and filling in an area.
• She rips out the too-tight knit bind-off on her Northwoods V-neck sweater and replaces it with a 2x2 Italian tubular cast-off.
• She debates which sweater to cast on next: the Mabel sweater by Hoil Locatelli or another sweater using yarn from Fiber Fusion.
• She admits she didn't finish framing her Krampus cross-stitch due to back-to-school activities and cuddling with her daughter.
• She shares that her husband is building a ramp for their shed and that she has had water problems in her house.
