I have so many projects I want to do, I keep starting them then putting the needles down, then starting a new one.
Is it just me or does anyone else do this?
I've got about 6 on the go at the moment, but have ideas for another 3 I want to do.
And everytime I see different wool or a new pattern, I cant resist buying them.
:confused:

Nope, it's me too. Welcome to the addiction. Don't try to fight it. :P

Well, I used to start one after I'd finished one. However, I have a corner of a room that has a cobwebbed pile of bags with yet to be completed projects and am ignoring it. :)

LOL,

I am knitting right at this moment, the jumper that should have been finished already and I am thinking of what I want to do next when I have a stack of other projects, so you are not alone :)

I have a sock waiting for its partner which was being knitted for the husband that died two years ago. Another half a sock for me, the back and a front of a jumper, sleeves and front of another jumper, one glove, some smashing wool that will make a great scarf and three half finished tapestries and don't let me get started on the half finished parchment craft pictures.....

On the plus side, I finished knitting a shetland shawl started 20 years ago and I have finally sewn up the baby jumper for my godson (small snag is that he is now 12 and might not like it!)

At least I got shot of a lot of my bags of interesting wool, probably to make room for more! :roll:

Sounds to me like you have got it all sorted out.....standard practice having unfinished projects :)

I'm glad it's not just me then :hihi: I've been knitting for 35yrs & this is the first time I have done this, I've normally got lots on the go at once but still finish them :)

Ah, well ummmmmm i've got one done and number two is well on it's way. But the hundreds that I had planned are only a lifetime away. i get excited when I buy yarn and think of endless posibilities. Anyway, you are such an excellent sales woman that I can't resist you.:D

If I thought my boss couldn't see this I would say if I got the chance I would actively reduce your yarn buying to the bare minimum until I saw some of your hand knitted goodies. OOPS! Anyhow, you don't need any encouragement from me, you do quite well on your own!

Sorry, sherakapod, if only you'd have said sooner! :( But here's the blanket beside the seaside, beside the sea. Only another 300g to go :thumbsup:
