Here's my pathetic attempt at a button for the WIP Wipe Out! Please copy to your server, blah blah blah. There's been a pretty darn positive response for this informal KAL. Just a review of the whole thing:
Rules:
1. Reduce thy WIP list.
That's it. Nothing more than that. Purchases aren't forbidden. Perish at the thought. There's no banning of casting on new projects, that would be as popular as a root canal. Feel free to cast on, provided of course that the old projects are getting completed. The goal is to get the WIP beast under control.
MY goal is to wind up with a total of 3 to 4 knitting projects. Total.
1. Sweater
2. Sock
3. Lace
That means if I finish a sweater, I can start a new one. If I finish socks, I can cast on for more. Got it? Wednesdays, we'll update progress.
Participants - see sidebar!
Here's hoping the WIP beast can be tamed and that those folk on the fence decide to join us.
Craft on!
I'd love to join the WIP wipe out -- I need to reduce my WIPS too.

Count me in too! I've only got a few WIPs compared to some in blogland but it's a few too many.

I've been doing this anyway since the first of this year. Last calendar year I Finished or Frogged or gave away all the vintage UFO's. This year I started on WIP's and after the knitting Olympics really realized what a wonderful thing it is to complete a project, and what a drain it has been to have so many WIP's on the needles. So I'm there with you. Love the button.

I would like to join the WIP wipe out. Since the Olympics I've been trying to get a handle on my WIP's. Maybe this will help me focus and cure my startitis.

Oooh - can I join too please? I want to get matters under some resemblance of control...

What a great idea to work on this WIP's together. Count me in! I also have so many projects and I want to, but need to get these WIP's off the needles!

Had I not just finished Bramble Berry I would have totally joined you! But I only have 2 projects on my needles so I think that's just too small to warrant membership. Maybe I should cast on for a few other things! :)
Posted by: Lizzy B | March 13, 2006 at 10:04 AM
Ok, everybody's telling me I should join. I suck at -alongs, I'm just sayin'. But I'll join. What have I got to lose, but maybe a WIP or two?
Posted by: Norma | March 13, 2006 at 11:26 AM
Please join me up! I also have the goal of reducing WIP and just finished a Landscape Shawl a couple of weeks ago. I'm down to 5 projects and will finish a couple before casting on for anything else. Thanks!

I'd love to join. My current wip list is out of control and this sounds like a great way to reign it in a bit.
Posted by: eliza | March 13, 2006 at 12:02 PM
Please add me to the list. My WIPs list is getting out of control tool.

Posted by: Donna K. | March 13, 2006 at 02:32 PM
Please sign me up. It's getting a little overwhelming here.

Please count me in too. My WIPs are totally out of control! I'm trying to get organized about them, but I could really use all the help (and nudging) I can get. Thank you!
Posted by: Elizzabetty | March 13, 2006 at 05:23 PM
Definitely something I need to do!
Posted by: Donni | March 13, 2006 at 06:10 PM
That sounds like just the thing I need to finish a few projects... I'd love to join.

This is my kind of KAL. Please add me to the participant list. I am now off to make a list of all wip's and will update blog tomorrow am and keep you updated. Of course, it's great that this kal came to my knowledge after casting on 2 more projects this afternoon. What can I say? I have fiber issues. Nice to be among fellow ufo/wip disorder(lies).
Posted by: Kim | March 14, 2006 at 10:40 PM
Oohh! I was just thinking the other day that my WIP pile was getting a bit ridiculous. I'll be moving in June and moving finished projects would be so much easier! It will be a good excuse for me to actually update my blog reguarly too. Please sign me up!
Posted by: Maegan | March 14, 2006 at 11:16 PM
