Hip WIP Hooray

WECROCHET
About this episode

WIPs or works in progress are either apart of someone's daily crochet experience or something that is not experienced at all. While some people work on one project at a time, others might have 15 projects going at once. On this episode of the WeCrochet Podcast Heather, Producer Sarah and Sara are talking about their WIPs. 

First Producer Sarah and Heather check in. Heather has counted all the projects she's done since getting hired at WeCrochet March 2019. Producer Sarah invites Heather into her feelings about her WIPs and Heather holds an emergency Crochet Therapy session. 

Sara and Heather talk about all their WIPs and work through what they suspect have been the hurdles that have prevented the completion of these projects. Heather also shares the story of how she accidentally picked up another hobby while working on a WIP.

Before each of our Facebook Live Coffee & Crochet events, Sara and Heather interview that day's guest in our virtual Green Room. Claire from E'Claire Makery, Lee from Coco Lee Designs and Amber from Devine Debris each share about their WIPS.
