Drainers : the WIP a-long! Update!

Is your procrastination getting the better of you? Suffering from cast-on-itis and need to finish some of your WIP’s (work-in-progress) to free up some needles and cables? Do you just need that little push to get going? This thread is for you!

Come a long and join us in freeing up some of those finished objects! Are a few of your favorite projects in need of a little repair? This is a perfect time to fix them!

Come help your fellow fangbangers finish up their projects and share your techniques… Pics, projects, & chatter all welcome. Craft projects of any type.. quilting, cross stitch, sewing, painting, knitting, crochet, etc are all acceptable WIP’s.

If your WIP list is as long as mine, you’ll probably appreciate the chance to get them finished! I frequently suffer from second-sock-syndrome and I need to break myself of that! Let’s work together and drain our WIP’s!!

Every finished WIP (with photos of before & after) earns you a ‘drained badge’ exclusive to Fangtasia.
No vampires were harmed in the finishing of WIP’s. It is required that I inform you of this by the one true vampire authority, the Volturi, and the vampire hunters association (VHA). This WIP draining is for craft projects only.
Let the updates begin! Shown in no particular order as every one of these are fabulous!

2012 Sock of the Month Club

In January 2012 we kicked off the year of socks kal (knit-a-long) in which the goal is to knit down some of the enormous amounts of sock yarn we all some how collect! There is no penalty if you cannot complete 12 socks in 2012, but there may be a prize in it for those of you who do!
Rules:
  • There are none. Simple, eh?
  • Slippers count as socks.
  • Ok, the only exception to the rule is that it must be a sock that covers your foot.
Time for an update!!
is currently in the lead with a whopping 4 pair!
