WIPÂ Rotation might be well known to most of you, but I hadn’t heard of it until recently. Like reading books, I usually work on one needlework project at a time. Until I got into the background of a needlepoint project. The canvas is really a bit small for the Tapestry yarn I’m using so the needle requires more tugging to complete the stitch. This makes my fingers really tired.
Then I got an email from a stitcher who explained her Work in Progress. She has a regular rotation of about four or five projects at a time. She works on a different one each time she gets a chance to stitch. That way she can tackle harder projects that she knows will be a challenge for that night and maybe she can reward herself with a project she loves working on the next night.
What a great idea! Tonight, I can work a bit on my Persian wool background then tomorrow let my fingers relax a bit with putting blending filament on the clouds in my Lighthouse. The next night will be time to start my Christmas Ornaments.
