How Many Projects Do You Work on At A Time?

[losingmymind2]

There are stay at home projects too big or too intricate to take with me, on the go projects for the doctors office, etc. Easy projects when I don't want to have to think, or concentrate or read a pattern, harder projects when I want a challenge. Projects with a deadline, projects for 'whenever it gets done' and projects for me, which seem to get pushed to the end of the line a lot, but that's ok, it's not like I really NEED more afghans, or purses. Until I learned how much fun it is to make a felted bag, I carried ONE purse till it fell apart. Work, social, you name it...I owned ONE purse at a time. Now, I actually have purses for different occasions. Even different colors, LOL And shawls...don't have to borrow Mom's extra purse or shawl for super formal occasions.

After Christmas I started ordering yarn for the stained glass window afghan (on the cover of the 50 Sensational Afghans book.)...

 

But had a great idea for the Blue Star Afghan--Use up my stash, and learn how to do different squares in the process. I was doing a square a day...

 

But joined this Crochetville group and learned about the Warm Up America CAL so started doing squares for them ...

 

But learned from a neighbor that her sister's baby may be coming early so did a toy and a keepsake bib...

 

But ran out of thread, so now I guess its time to go back down the "But" ladder.

I usually have 3- 4 big knitting and crochet projects in progress. Besides that there are always A LOT of small projects to place it on my website.

 

For today I have in work:

1.Irish crochet long sleeve tunic (mohair + acrylic).

2.Irish crochet summer top (cotton thread).

3.Knitted man hat (wool).

4. A vest.

 

There are still a lot of ideas ahead!

I don't have a single unfinished project, by the way.

[indigo73]

I usually have a half dozen projects going.

 

Something complicated, something portable, something needed, something to gift and something fun. They are usually split between knit and crochet.

[ChiMom79]

I usually have 2 going at any one time. I like to switch back and forth to work on whatever I feel like at the moment.

[Schmetterling]

Right now I'm working on my 6 year old's Babette blanket, a hooded baby blanket for my friend's newborn, and more caps for the local NICU.

[cher49]

Just one I can't wait to finish one project to see how it comes out and then I can't wait to start the next one.

[eurolyons]

Too freaking many...that's how many I work on...it's a sickness, I'm convinced...

[crochetrenee]

okay...here's my WIPs list...

1 felted crochet bag

1 women's crochet sweater

1 crochet baby sweater

1 crochet baby afghan

1 knitted silk scarf

1 knitted pair of socks (one finished, the other on about 1/4 done!)

1 crochet shawl (the only reason this isn't finished? I ran out of yarn and have to order more online!)

....and several more projects floating around in my head!!!!!!

[forestergirl]

At least nine.

1. Queen size granny squares blanket

2. socks for DH

3. table runner for a friend's wedding

4. Saraphina "dragon" shawl

5. basket for meds (the cup shelf in the kitchen is NOT supposed to be a medicine cabnet )

6. tartan afgan

 

what were the rest again?

[tlcaka]

I do multiple projects at the same time. *counting in my head*

 

-I just finished a Floral Bounty Blanket.

-Working on the Mary Maxim Breast Cancer Afghan (I've done 2 passes so far)

-I'm working an afghan out of the Leisure Art book "Afghans inspired by Scripture" (Fields of Wheat...I think that's the name of the pattern)

-Making a shawl for my mom from the Lion Brand Prayer Shawl Ministry book (knit & crochet book)

-started a Spiderman Round Ripple on Sat for my lil cousin

- and I'm on a hat thing right now so I've been making hats in those down times when I get cross eyed from doing the same stitches on these different afghan projects.

 

Tish :o)

I have only one thing to say about this I have "KIDS".

[kookaloo_starr]

I tend to have 4 or 5 on the go at a time, mainly because some are squares for blankets and I can make a few different colours of the same square but it's working on 3 or 4 separate pieces and then of course there are the other things in between.

[CyM]

I just counted 12 projects (knit + crochet). I am crazy.

[teeheenah]

Let's see...

 

WIP's

 

1 hello kitty I'm crocheting in nylon string (can only work on it once every week to two weeks because of rope burns if I spend too much time on it in one sitting...nylon string is extremely slippery and needs to be held very very tightly if you want uniform stitches)

 

1 sweater for myself

 

1 sweater for my daughter

 

1 crocheted bear and doll for a challenge (made up just working on dressing, faces, adornments

 

squares for a family afghan

 

1 new design of a crocheted animal...the species is a secret

 

and about to start another project because a friend just found out she is expecting so I am waiting to find out if it's a boy or girl before narrowing down the possibilities of what to make.

 

......3..4..5..

 

I guess that is 6 plus LOL

 

I feel a bit better about having so many irons in the fire at once after reading what everyone else is up to hehe.

I just recently finished a couple of projects, and frogged a couple more, because they were not turning out the way I wanted, had not done very much on them. So I am down to two right now that I work on alternately... both afghans. Am waiting for an order from Mary Maxim. I had ordered a kit a few months ago, and had to return it because it wasn't what I thought... so I had a credit coming, and decided to order just some sport yarn. I think I will make a sweater from that. But I made myself a promise that I wouldn't start any more projects until I finish a couple more. That Homespun afghan that has given me so much grief, I consigned to the UFO bin... I won't finish that till next winter.

I finally realized that if I have too many wips, none of them will ever see completion... not in my lifetime.

[catheryn]

Waaayyyyy toooooo many!!

[Pear-Kitten]

I can only have one project going at a time otherwise I won't finish any of them. My attention span is far too short.

[lizdini]

Enough that it drives my hubby crazy. Not to mention that my Grandma is always pawning baby yarn off on me (think she's trying to give me a hint or something?).

[RaggedyAnn]

Let's see...finishing one shawl to see how I like the pattern, 3 more after that. Just completed a wrap shawl with Moda Dea Cheri in orange. It looks like a sunrise. Made a drawstring bag for a little girl last night. Making squares for an afghan, off and on when I feel like it. Working on another afghan that I keep beside the bed. Hubby watches sports or sci-fi and I crochet. I have another shawl that I put aside. The yarn was driving me nuts. Started making a shawl for me out of Noro silk garden this morning. If you haven't noticed, I love shawls. My travel project is a market/tote bag from cotton. I have several other UFO's lying around that I'll get to, someday.

[craftyone]

Way too many, (lol)

2 baby sets

2 baby afghans

tunisian stitch bedspread

dress potholders

kitchen towel toppers

plastic canvas wall hangings

 

+ all the projects on my to do list

[mama24boyz]

I always have at least 6-7-8....maybe more, not to mention that I'm addicted to searching for more and always start before anything else is finished.

[sandra2469]

I have 5 projects going right now & planning to start another one at the end of the week - hopefully when one of them is close to finishing. My daughter told me I needed therapy

 

One is a knit project & since I'm just learning I didn't really want to count it - but DD made me. The other four are in various stages. One is a monster tablecloth in thread for a wedding gift in July - one is a wrap for my oldest DD that I can't seem to work up the time to finish (probably would only need a day) - one is a 15" doll dress that I started Saturday & can't seem to put down (2/3 complete) - and the last one is a doily for MIL for Mother's Day.

 

Is that enough?

[kmeiding]

I honestly don't know how many projects I have started. They are in bags and containers all around my room and I should really finish them. One is a blanket that I started almost 2 years ago just after I started crocheting.

[sorefingers]

I only keep two on the go now. I discovered a scarf I was making from ten years ago! After that I finished up all my projects. Now I keep one big project on the go and one little one. That way I'm completing something new at least once a week but still working on my monster project!
