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 >_>)

Date: 2011-05-04 12:35 am (UTC)3 pairs of socks... they vary in complexity because sometimes I like to knit while I'm doing other things. All are a couple months old at most (one is 2 days old)
1 pair of gloves, which I haven't worked on recently and which is already overdue. Not feeling them.
One hat I was making up based on a Cookie A sock pattern, where the gauge is totally off, and which I therefore need to start over, but I really don't want to do that right now.
Two afghans, both projected to be huge, one I haven't worked on in 9 months and one in several years, both really should get finished soon but I'm trying to gear up for it.
Plus, a matching set of entrelac hat/scarf/gloves, which I'm making with leftover sock yarn bits, and therefore am not intending to finish soon, since I don't have enough bits yet to finish, and also I've made two granny squares with leftovers of the bits so I've technically started a sock yarn afghan too, but again not counting, it will be years until I have enough squares to have a blanket.
That's all I'm counting. There are some other things hanging around though, including 4 to 7 pairs of socks I need to finish by the fall, a shawl that will be a Christmas present, a baby afghan for a baby due on December, an afghan I've had the yarn for for years but probably need to finish about a year from now, 2 pairs of gloves I need to do before next winter... but they aren't cast on so they don't count officially yet.
