Welcome back to The Crochet Stitch, the weekly crochet podcast from Yarn Over Hook, the global home of crochet.

View the Newsletter: Take the “What’s in Your WIP Bag?” Challenge

Before you listen any further, grab the WIP bag closest to you.

Do not clean it.

Do not organize it.

Do not remove the mystery receipt, loose yarn tails, or project you forgot was in there.

This week, we are opening our project bags and taking an honest inventory.

In this episode, we introduce the “What’s in Your WIP Bag?” challenge, where crocheters can calculate their score based on the tools, supplies, yarn tails, backup projects, and mystery items currently hiding inside their project bag.

We also talk about what your score might say about your WIP bag style, whether you are a WIP Bag Minimalist, a Prepared Maker, a Crochet Problem Solver, or fully operating out of a Traveling Yarn Room.

Plus, we introduce the newest Yarn Over Hook community personality quiz: What Kind of WIP Bag Crocheter Are You?

Are you:

The Light Packer?

The Prepared Project Planner?

The Cozy Crocheter?

The Mobile Yarn Studio?

There is only one way to find out.

This week, we are also celebrating 1,290 donated soap sacks for the Summer Stash Bash soap sack challenge, continuing the Great Summer Mosaic CAL, and previewing a full week of Yarn Over Hook shows, including Crochet & Chat, Summer Stash Bash with Stitches, a YouTube Members Exclusive, and a special guest episode with Drew about learning how to spin yarn.

So open your bag, count your points, laugh at what you find, and remember that every WIP bag tells a story.
