how many projects do you have going?

 

i can't seem to stick with just one. i have 1 in the car, 1 next to my bed and 3 others that i work on after the kids are in bed for the night. i do whichever strikes my fancy that night.

and of course, the million 'what will i be doing next' ideas rolling around in this head of mine. :lol

I have 2 sweaters, 2 afghans, oops, make that 3 afghans, I forgot the one in the car. I also have a couple preemie outfits I'll probably frog and start something else. I didn't like the way they worked up. :rock

I am being good :D I have my tank top I started last night, and 11 more squares (make that 10 1/2 more squares lol) for my masculine square swap to finish up. I almost started on a toddler dress for my 16 month old, but frogged it and set it aside...since I had used the wrong size hook anyways! I still have more critter knitter blankets to start and work on, and I want to make my girls some socks with the new yarn I bought. Lot's of projects in mind, but I am trying to be a good girl and not have so many things going on at once! I dont know what will happen with the apache tears ghan, I must finish that someday to give to my friend!

Since I just started to seriously crochet again. :D I have the 63 square afghan and a bright-critters afghan started. I have to join two more strips then do the edging with the 63 afghan. This will be a record for me with craft projects, I will have started and finished within 6 months. Totally unheard of for me. The bright-critter afghan has blue birds on some of the blocks. Also, I will be starting two more of this type, one dog and one frog. These are for my girls. Just have to find all the right color thread. Also, if I work on them at the same time there isn't any "not fair" going on. :P

I usually have two or three going, but right now other than the 63 Squares I really don't have any big projects. Since Rick works from home, and I am home all day as well, I tend to migrate into the bedroom to crochet during the day. In the evenings, I'll settle on the couch to crochet while we watch a movie (if we're not spending the evening playing online, that is). I have a 'bedroom project' and a 'living room project', mainly because it is a pain to tote things back and forth from room to room a couple of times a day. Currently I'm working on the 63 Squares as my 'bedroom project', and in the evenings I'm working on the items for the first Crochetville Swap, the 'living room' project. Then, every so often I'll have a day like yesterday, where I sit and work on little odds and ends of things that have filled my head for days and weeks. Mainly an excuse to play with the new Bernat Frenzy and Galaxy yarns. <img border=0 src="http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/tongue.gif" />

Wait until all you do when you come online is read crochet blogs, this forum, look at patterns... he'll wonder what happened and wish he'd never teased you about all your projects! <img border=0 src="http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/laugh.gif" />

 

I should have a Galaxy hat complete tomorrow. Nothing fancy, but it sure does work up nice! <img border=0 src="http://img28.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/frog1.gif" />

After trying to make tank tops, scarves and a shawl all at once and having to frog the shawl completely....

 

I decided to stick to one project at a time while dreaming of the next one. I did the pink tank top and am now working on a black tank top using some of my existing granny squares as part of the design.

 

I'm dreaming of the poncho that I want to make and could use help from you poncho alongers....who have finished as to how much yarn it will take...how many skeins/balls?

 

Thanks!

I just started going through the posts from the last forward and came across this one. I have a set of booties and mitts going the booties are done and half a mitt is done, I am working on potholders and dishcloths, and want to start on a doily. I have never done a doily before so it ought to be interesting. I also need to start a pair of tiny booties for a friend's doll that has tiny half an inch feet.:sweat:2eek

Oh Girl, PLEASE!!! :knitLike you I have millions of ideas running around in my head about that next great thing I want to make. I have decided that I am going to frog all my "in progress" projects and start a new for the new year! I want to spend more time for my hobbies this year....

After I got back to crochet in March I soon began getting myself into several projects at once but after my mother passed away in August it took me a bit to get my motivation back, so I actually didn't want to have more than two things going at once. When I began making Christmas gifts in October I jumpedback and forth between several things but as time ran I had the need to concentrate on one thing at a time in order to be able to finish those gifts that were to be mailed together.

 

I'd thought that once Christmas was over I could take it "easy" but I still have several gifts to either finish or start. I also have a doily and a purse to finish crocheting and another to line, (but those can wait), and several other WIMs that I'm impatient to start so you're definitely not alone!

I couldn't even begin to count my WIPs... I have ALOT!

 

Just off the top of my head:

a knit afghan

crochet ripple afghan

crochet potholder

set of 6 crocheted kittens

at least 7 or 8 amigurumi at various stages of completion

lots and lots of fridgies.. most just need the magnet on the back

a filet shawl

a knitted poncho

a crochet baby dress... (this one has turned UFO)

And lots more I can't think of right now...

I crochet projects like I read books--several going at any given time. Like books, my crocheting projects can either be plowed through quickly, plugged at steadily, or neglected for months at a time until I stumble across them all over again and hook away again. And like books, my ooh-shiny-want-it list only grows longer.

 

Current WIPs include a baby blanket, a tote bag, a plarn bag, a throw, a purse, and a scarf.

Two at the moment, but it isn't unusual for me to have another on top of that...sometimes I need a break from a project. If I am making one afghan after another I like a break with something smaller.

Since I'm just learning to crochet, I only have one WIP -- an afghan. :yes Now, knitting, that's a different story. I have at least 3 items set aside on the needles. They're going to have to wait, though, because crochet has me addicted. :hook

Just one right now. Most of my stuff I had going was Christmas gifts, so all those are finished. I am trying to finish making some bonnets, and then I will start on a couple of new projects.

 

The first one will be a Christening gown. I want to make it for the county Fair.

 

The second one will be an afghan for my daughter for college. (She's not 100% sure of where she is going, so I don't know what colors to buy)

 

I thought the Christening gown would be a good entry in the fair, and then I can hang on to it and my daughter can use it in a few years.

 

Plus, miscellaneous hats just to keep my hands busy.
