StRIP List

StRIP stands for "Stash Reduction Implementation Program"! It's a term that originated at the Rotation Stitchers Bulletin Board. After the great eZBoard crash of 2005, I thought I'd better replicate the list here, since I lost it last time.

Clearly, I have too many WIPs (works in progress)! My goal for the end of the year is to get down to 60 projects or less.

Current rotation pieces are indicated with a needle. A "C" next to the piece means it is a "class" piece. In parentheses beside each piece is my estimated percent complete.

Rotation Slot Replacement Rules: Class piece gets replaced w/non-class and vice-versa...try for similar size. If no piece exists to fill the new slot, take from Kits. For 3 Class finishes, a totally new start (non-kit) is allowed.
