Ever have that feeling that you have too many WiPs?
Hello! Marta here, I have a yarn filled podcast episode for you today! Somehow it has become a month between podcasts so there’s LOADS to share with you!
I'm a crochet designer, so to keep up to date with all my news, get my 25 Crochet Tips pdf AND receive my biggest discount codes (including 50% off my Tay Beanie, launching Saturday 7th!), you'll want to subscribe to my mailing list: https://martamitchelldesigns.com/pages/about-me
The Tay Beanie which I've designed has been tech edited and tested, model photos have been taken - it’s nearly ready for release! It’s crocheted in The Scottish Yarn Festival's Clan DK in the colourway Sinclair. Find the yarn and all the info on the festival taking place on September 7th on their website: https://thescottishyarnfestival.com
You can find my yarn review on my blog here: https://martamitchelldesigns.blogspot.com/2024/08/yarn-review-scottish-yarn-festival-clan.html
I’m almost finished with my Printer Ink Scarf (my own pattern) which is worked up in gorgeous minis from Sealy MacWheely! I will make it my goal to sew in the last few ends and get it blocked for the next episode! Here’s a link to Katie’s online shop where you’ll find the details of the bricks & mortar shop too: https://sealymacwheely.com
The knitted jumper I’m working on the sleeve of is the Little Bousta Yoke by Gudrun Johnston. I'm using Shetland jumper weight wool from various sources, some from old cones, some Jamieson's which I purchased in The Woolly Brew, Pittenweem. Find the pattern on Ravelry here: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/little-bousta-yoke
I began a new crocheted jumper following the pattern on the cover of Moorit, issue 1! The pattern is called Cumulo and it’s by Liliana Buce-Chmelko. I’m using Drops Andes which I hadn’t used before but which I’m finding fabulous to work with! Here’s a link to Moorit where you can still find digital copies of issue 1: https://mooritmag.com/collections/all
I also started a new Tunisian crochet project! It’s the Rancher Shawl by Toni Lipsey @TLYarnCrafts and I’m really enjoying this slightly different technique to regular crochet! After watching and being inspired by @TheCozyCottageCrochet I bought the pattern on Ravelry: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/rancher-shawl
The yarn I’m using is from Pigment & Ply: https://www.pigmentandply.com and For The Love Of Yarn: https://fortheloveofyarn.co.uk
And finally, my Battenberg Blanket - which did get a lot of attention a few weeks ago! I'm joining the Battenberg MAL on Instagram following the Battenberg Blanket pattern (free pattern on Ravelry) by Sandra Paul: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/libr...

If you’re interested in reading my Ultimate Guide to Crocheting a Large Blanket, you’ll find it on my ad-free blog here: https://martamitchelldesigns.blogspot.com/2024/06/the-big-adventure-conquering-large.html
Not shown in this episode is the Pica Pau lobster I’m crocheting! Oh … and there’s a fancy granny square blanket that’s not been touched for years! And, em … a pair of mitts I began early this year and can’t decide what to do with! I think that’s 8 WiPs! Too many? How many have you got on the go? Let me know in the comments.
If I've missed anything or you'd like more info, please do give me a shout!
Until the next episode, happy crocheting,
Marta xx
