knittingAhhhh so I have a problem -- or rather, I have eleven of them!
I currently have eleven unfinished projects on my needles. I've been trying to cut down, but every time I finish one of my current projects, or even finish half of one (one sock/mitten etc), I cast on a new project to replace the old one.
So I was hoping I could find like-minded folks to chat about WIPs. Anyone want to join me in sharing your WIPs to cheer each other on? That glove lacking a second half, that beret that just won't get past the ribbing, that scarf that just won't stop, that lacework that you've squirreled away in a bag so you're not tempted to throw it across the room, that thing you need to tink back a couple hundred stitches before you can move forward again (and if that sounds familiar, all the best of luck to you!) Or even that one project that's just flying off your needles so we can all remember that it can be done? And if that's you, I'm envious, but do share *G*
Maybe we'll even finish one of them eventually! (And maybe then I can stop fervently hoping that mismatched gloves, or gloves matched with mittens, or one-sock-only would come into style >_>)

No, three.
...one is a scarf that is in the OMG This Is Lasting Forever stage. It is gorgeous floofy squooshy yarn that I am totally in love with, and a pattern (yarn harlot's One Row (Handspun) Scarf) that is mindless without being super boring and therefore is good for tv knitting. But I am less than halfway through the second of three skeins.
One is a prayer shawl that I have re-done and re-redone and re-re-redone a bazillion times and really I should just accept the fact that prayer shawls are Not My Thing.
And one is a Saroyan, bulky yarn and size 13 needles, that has been shoved in a corner for quite some time now.
...as for projects that are partially done but not on needles? There is, er. An orange wedge bag that I have done the bottom and one side but not the other side or the zipper; a sock, toe-up, done on a sock loom, that needs frogging because it is too big, but had to be taken off the loom to try on; a fingerless glove that does not have a mate; and probably other things that I have forgotten about entirely.
And then there are all the things that I have planned out but not started...
