How Many Projects Do You Work on At A Time?

[anoramaxsis]

I just finished a shawl and a scarf. I started another scarf. I was planning to start a doily. I usually have three going on at one time.

[grandmabap]

I'm working on 2 shawls, a 12 star prayer blanket, and a scarf. I won't start anything else until I finish one of them. So I'm usually somewhere between 3 and 4 projects at a time.

 

All the projects mentioned are for charity. I plan on starting my Christmas gifts when I come back from vacation next week.

 

 

Blessings to you and yours!

I have 4 going on right now need to finish up 2 might get there

[Snoopysteph]

I always have 5 or so projects going on at the same time! Seems like there's always something to make for someone I know.

[HorrorRetro]

I like to keep it down to two projects at a time. That keeps me from being bored, but it isn't overwhelming. I'm able to finish more things in a shorter time and have a feeling of accomplishment.

[mandymae]

I usually have 2-3 projects going at a time. I like to have one or two that go really quickly (like a scarf or a hat) and then a bigger project (like an afghan).

[FrLopLady]

I HAVE to finish the project before the next...haven't tried 2 at one time yet...but then I'm only finishing up my first one lol

[Valsey]

I try to keep it down to three projects, usually a scrap afgan is is always in the works, along with scrap granny squares plus whatever else I just had to start. Current works in progress:

Scrap Afgan

Scrap Squares

Market Bag

Hobo Gloves

Baby blanket for Co-worker

Baby Cocoon for Co-worker

 

I guess I really have six going on right now.

I checked off the second category, as I usually have at least four! Right now, I'm doing slightly better than usual.

 

My problem is that I constantly see new patterns that I just HAVE TO DO!

About 2 on the needle and a trilion in my head

[Flia]

Of course I had to vote 9-12, even though it's not always true. My head is a creative chaos, and having poor impulse control I usually start testing ideas right away.

Some get finished, most don't.

[crocheting turtle]

At the present time, I have about four of them started. Like you, I work on each a little at a time.

[yarn-diva]

I have 4 crochet projects going right now-a dish towel, dishcloth, and 2 potholders. I also have a child's scarf I'm knitting on.

[Christmascrazy]

I am so glad to hear that I am not the only one that has so many projects going. I am not totally CRAZY! just Christmas crazy.

[msgerri]

usually one at a time. Wow girls when do you find the time. I must admit I am caring for my 3 year old grandson as his mother is unable too. I am so tired after chasing him around when I sit to crochet I find myself waking up with hook in hand and very little done. So one at a time is best right now.

So funny I was just thinking about this today. I am with one of the other posters who said, "Just as my project is almost complete, I start another." I wonder why that is? hehe

 

Currently

 

1. Son's Navy Ripple Afghan (Navy as in the US Navy colors) 85% done

 

2. Found a shells afghan project in a closet in a bag with all the yarn 30% done

 

3. Squares for a Friendship exchange 3-5 done

 

4. Found the best afghan ripple pattern I've ever used, found great stash yarns, started this about 30 minutes ago. !

 

I also have "carry" projects that I make for the preemies . Hats, booties, small gowns.

 

Wow glad I'm not alone in my madness

[minnymouse]

i have about 8 projects

[Rhonda L]

WoW! I, too, feel great that I am not alone in having sooo many wips that I have to stop myself and catch up! One for in the car, one for work, one just in case, one by the couch........! Keep it up!

[KathyWho]

I'm in the 4/8 slot most of the time. I really enjoy just finding out if I can figure out a pattern...the challenge of it all~~~ and Heavens!!! I do believe the world would come to an end if everything was completely finished and finally done, lol. :o)

[Nema517]

I've only ever had one project started at a time. I like to finish one before I start another. But I have ideas constantly swarming around in my head. The hardest thing for me is deciding which one I want to do next!

[Chiscrochetcrazy]

I only have 1 at a time That's the only way I finish things.If I quit something and start something else I never go back to the unfinished wip.

[Alnee]

I have always been a one at a time kinda person.. and can usually knock out a project pretty fast if I devote myself to it. I have recently began deciding on what will be Christmas gifts for everyone this year and realizing it will be a lot of afghans! I am toying with the idea of starting them all around the same time so that I have one to work on if someone is around, etc that way no one knows what they are getting! This leads me to a small problem though... I like to have a carry along project to work on that isnt an afghan. They are often just too big to take places and work on them. I have a surgery coming up soon (so you know that is 2 hours in the waiting room!) and hubby has a knee surgery coming up (looking at a LOT more hours since it is a late surgery and the surgeon is bound to behind schedule!)... I really would like to have something to work on during these and also the follow up visits that seem to take forever!!!! Guess I had best start looking at my "list" to see what else I can put on it!

[Ashee]

Well I just started crocheting so I only have one project going but I already have in mind something else I want to do. I think I am catching the fever.

[littlecrocheter]

I can only do one at a time!! Drives me crazy starting a new project knowing that I have one unfinished yet!!

[sprout]

i have about 20+ projects some long term some i finish in one day, i like to do different things and love the challenge of going from 4ply to thread.
