Happy Wednesday, fellow creators! There's something uniquely inspiring about the middle of the week, isn't there? It’s often when I find myself reflecting on 'progress in the craft realm' of my home, a chance to pause and appreciate the small steps forward. For me, Wednesday often feels like the perfect mid-week pause – a chance to reflect on what’s been done and what still needs a little push. It's when I often find myself repeating little 'wednesday quotes' of encouragement, like 'Keep going, you're almost there!' especially with my current crochet obsession. This 'Wednesday wisdom' is crucial for those bigger projects! I recently started this ambitious project, aiming to create a piece that’s truly unique: a 'Wicked Inspired Hexagon Cardigan'. It's a delightful blend of 'half pink' and 'half green' – a nod to the iconic Glinda and Elphaba, or as I like to think of it, the 'Glinda side' and the 'Alphabet side' of the story. You know that feeling when you're deeply engrossed in a project, and time just flies? That's me with this cardigan. The goal is to get it caught up and eventually make it a little more baggy and 'oversized', just how I like my cardigans for ultimate comfort. It’s definitely a 'work in progress' (WIP), and sometimes it feels like a marathon, not a sprint. I was looking at my 'progress' just this morning – one side is almost complete, and I’m focusing on getting the other side to match. There’s always that moment of slight panic when you realize you might have 'stopped too soon' on one piece, but that just fuels the determination to get it right this time. The beautiful 'yarn' I picked out is just perfect, and seeing the colors come together is so satisfying. I’m making sure to do at least two rows of each color to ensure it’s even, and honestly, I feel like I'm almost there! My 'goal over the weekend' is usually to push through and get a big chunk done, but celebrating 'Wednesday progress' makes the journey so much more enjoyable. Crafting on a Wednesday, for me, is a little ritual. It's a moment to disconnect from the daily grind and reconnect with something tangible and creative. It reminds me that even small steps contribute to a larger, beautiful outcome. It’s like a quiet affirmation, a personal 'wednesday quote' that says, 'You are building something wonderful, stitch by stitch.' So, if you're working on a 'Wicked Inspired Hexagon Cardigan' or any other creative 'WIP', remember to celebrate your mid-week efforts! Don't let your 'ball of yarn' just sit there; pick it up and make some magic. I'm so excited for this, even if I'm not sure 'it will match anything' in my wardrobe – I’ll 'still wear it absolutely'! The joy of creating is its own reward, and the feeling of accomplishment when you finally 'complete' something you’ve poured your heart into is truly unmatched. What are you making this Wednesday? I love to see it!
