I pulled all my WIPs out into a pile to take stock and this is how it looks:

sThere's ELEVEN projects in there, needing everything from a little finishing to possible frogging, My new month's resolution is to not cast anything on until I have finished some of these. There are a few long term ones, but the rest need to be shifted.
Obviously I did what any knitter would do- reached for the needles less than an hour later and cast something else on! In my defence it was small, needed to be done then and is now finished, so back to the pile of eleven.
That doesn't even consider the items I have got planned in my mind, like things for Christmas. Or the spinning.

I am also refusing to put part balls back in my stash box to languish unloved so this little lot needs to be used up soon. I forsee a trail of cosies and bracelets for Christmas presents.

At least your projects are organized...I have bits and pieces everywhere.
ReplyDeleteWell, I have 3. Actually I allow myself 2 (one easy for knitting in car and second niggling for home) but I had to invent the 3rd because it is charity project with definite deadline. Of course, I know that temptation when you have a new great idea but the old idea is still looking on you obsolete but unfinished.
ReplyDeleteI know how that happens. I'm having a bit of a sort through my WIPs at the moment and either finishing or frogging. It's hard to do, but it NEEDS to be done.
ReplyDeleteThat reminds me...I really need to organize my yarn stash again. :-)
ReplyDeleteI think if I pulled out all my long-term projects it may look something like your pile. Hence the reason it's all hidden and never gets pulled out all at once! ;)
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a lot of projects, though I'm one to talk. I have 6 currently in the works.
