Do you do multiple projects at one time?

[ReniC]

I always have several projects in the making. Right now there are about 9 projects and I still keep the dishcloth basket alive to keep my stash supplied. That does not include my beading and painting projects! Have to keep busy ya' know

[justinbob]

Never, I do one thing until I'm finished THEN start something new

[PJM&M]

Nope...to start something new is to shove something undone away and forget about it.

[eurolyons]

I do...all the time...and actually I do try to limit how many I do at a given time...it's almost impossible for me to just narrowly focus on one project from start to finish and not switch to something else...but I keep trying...

Before Christmas I had over 20, but I knocked out quite a few for Christmas gifts.

 

Currently, I've got 7afghans in progress, and 4 more that are hibernating.  I have 2 other wips, and 1 other that's currently hibernating.  I keep track of it all in a book.  3 of my afghans are getting close to being completed

[jessicali]

I tell my husband that I have a bit of Crochet ADD! I can't work on one project for long until it's complete. ALWAYS have more than 1 thing going at once!!

[cshort]

I prefer to just have one crochet project and one sewing project going at a time but some how I have about 3 crochet projects and a couple of sewing projects going right now. And I don't feel like I'm making much progress on anything.

[judianne]

working on multiple projects....is there really any other way to work...LOL!

Seriously, though, Lately i've been actually working on one project at a time, which is not my norm.

We'll see how long this lasts....

[Kristy Taylor]

I am currently working on 2 scarves, a baby afghan and a granny square afghan and hemming a prom dress

[Jayashiangel]

I tend to have 1-4 shawls going in various stages due to working on that at work in small places in a van so I tend to work them so far (gets to big) then I start a new one and finish the others at home or in the office when I can...

[katiejanae]

I sometimes work on more than one project at a time. Occasionally I will get bored if I just do one at a time. I am working on Hats for the NICU also! Andd,, I am doing baby security blankets, and a stuffed owl. I usually just switch back and forth.

I'm always working on multiple items. Some of my items are more portable than others, which really helps too. Right now, I believe I've got 3 solid different projects going on at the same time. I'm making a present for someone, working on one of my ministry items, and I just started an afghan today for a friend. I can easily pick up an ami in the evening if I need something different too. I have a stack of hats that I need to deliver to the NICU, so when that time comes - I'll probably make a few more before I end up actually delivering them... I'll just make them the day before or the day of when I can schedule time to get across town on the bus.

Being on this site gives me like a million more ideas to try too!

[VikingRunnerGirl]

At the moment, my WIP stack includes one car afghan, an African Flower soccer ball, a super secret project, 3 afghans done for no reason other than I want to (though one of those is only missing the elaborate border I had planned; it could count as "finished" in its current state), one afghan gift for some friends, a gauge square for charted designing, and two amis. I believe that's all the crochet WsIP. After that we move to knitting, quilting, sewn clothes, painting, jewelry...

[mattenylou]

Yesterday I was working on five, yep, five, booties at once - does that count as "multiples"??

 

I'm making them for twins, maybe it would help if I followed a pattern exactly the way it says, but I started to improvise on the first ones i made and now I'm trying to get two pair that look alike and are the same size. I'm having an awful time getting these last 3 to look exactly like those first two I made.

 

It seems that eventually something should match up, in the meantime, I stuffed them all in a bag for another day.

 

Maybe I need to get rid of the first two and try to make 'em match up with the last three instead.... egads!

[Startigerlily]

Sometimes. Right now I am working on sewing an afghan, but I am fantasizing about a new project. Maybe a shawl...

[tambob6259]

I always have multiple projects going. Lets see, right now....just finished testing a couple patterns for dish cloths, will start a test for a hat, 2 baby blankets going, a baby hat, booties, chemo cap, floppy bunny, oh yea and a floppy bunny hat.   Whenever my husband and I go away for the weekend, my project bag is bigger then my suitcase. Wow, now I'm embarrassed...

[mandymae]

I'm sitting in my living room right now, and in my line of sight, I have 5 WIP's. I'm like this with reading books, too...never can seem to just stick to one thing at a time!

[ddc]

I usually have several lapghans in progress. I try to have them with different colors so when I'm tired of looking at once color group I can switch off to another. Right now I only have two started, but I've been away from crocheting for a while.

 

Now that's I'm back on track, it will soon it will be more, I'm quite sure. I dislike doing things with motifs because sewing them together is Not Fun, but they are so easy to handle at work that I plan to keep a project or two like that started as well as the one piece ones that are easiest to do at home.

[mamamiaow]

Always! As many others have mentioned, some projects just get too big or too complicated to carry with me, so I have everything from baby hats and blankets to prayer shawls, to cotton dishcloths, etc, all going at once. If I find that I need one thing more, I'll concentrate on that one. It's never boring, for sure!

[Chiscrochetcrazy]

Most people have multiple projects but I am one of they weirdos that doesn't like to do that. Only time I do that is when I have to get more yarn or I have to make something fast for someone and need to stop a current project to get another one done in time. I do have a knit dishcloth always partially done to take with me if I need an on the go project but that doesn't count does it lol

[PBLKNP]

I usually have at least 2 projects going.  I usually have a knitting project and a crochet one going.  Also, I have different projects, depending on difficulty.  For the mornings, I tend to work on projects that are more complicated, because there are less distractions.  I tend to have an easier project for crafting in public.

 

[billynomates]

I'm waiting on wool to continue my Tunisian crochet adult jacket. the market man is away on holiday. so I've been doing other stuff. But I usually have only one thing going. I like to get it done and finished, so I can start on the next one. and I am always thinking of my next project while still doing the one I'm working on.

[MonkeyDad]

I usually always have 2 projects going at the same time. I love making afghans and filet bedspreads but the projects sometimes get alittle overwelming. With two going at the same time I can switch between them.

[DolceRubie]

i recently went back into my ole habit of hopscotching from one project to another.. then i'll have a brainfart inbetween saying wtf did i do here.. then i go ohh ok now i see. then i say duh..

and laugh at myself because of it..

[Gingerbread Girl]

I usually have at least two projects going at once, often more. But there are times when I will focus on just one project. Usually that's when it is something that will be a gift and I want to be sure that it is completed in time, but other times it's just something for myself that I really want to complete so I will put all my energy into that one project. 

[crochetlady2012]

I do...all the time...and actually I do try to limit how many I do at a given time...it's almost impossible for me to just narrowly focus on one project from start to finish and not switch to something else...but I keep trying...

Your just like me! I have to have a very hard time most of time limiting how many projects I have going at once.

 

Before Christmas I had over 20, but I knocked out quite a few for Christmas gifts.

The projects that I am currently making I'll be very lucky if anyone gets their at Christmas.

 

I tell my husband that I have a bit of Crochet ADD! I can't work on one project for long until it's complete. ALWAYS have more than 1 thing going at once!!

I always tell my husband that a crafters minds works like this: "We have to know that if we get tried of a project that we are working we know that we have others that we can go, end of story!"

We'll see how long this lasts....

I use to have about 6, but right now I just have 2. My husband knows that I want to make items for his side of the family & he is doing his best not to let me.

 

I'm sitting in my living room right now, and in my line of sight, I have 5 WIP's. I'm like this with reading books, too...never can seem to just stick to one thing at a time!

That I know right now I only have about 2 crochet projects going but I have planned for addition ones as soon as the ones for my family are done.
