DKY Knitters Forum.

Hi everyone

I was just wondering how many of you are like me and always have several knitting projects on the go at the same time?

At the moment I am being very good and have only got 3 things on my needles! They are; a scarf for my daughter, a cushion cover and a baby cardigan, although lots of other things are crying out for me to cast them on!!

Only one,i get to confused if i have more than 1 on the go.

Hi
i have to finish one item before i start another, or i find i lose interest and never go back to it

I'm terrible. I currently have:

a brown cardigan for me
a jumper for my husband
a black cardigan for my daughter
a cream cardi for the same daughter
a baby matinee jacket
a lace scarf
a pair of socks
and a rabbit in need of 3 paws and a tail

all in progress along with 3 unfinished cross stitch projects!!!!

My New Year resolution will be to finish all projects before starting any more but I have had the same resolution for the past 5 years and never managed to keep it yet

Oh, and I'm going on a coach holiday next week so I've bought the wool to knit a scarf whilst I'm away

Thats a lot of projects.Have a nice holiday Jane.

Hi Jane,
How do you remember where you are up to on each item? and how do you decide which one to do next.
best wishes
Irene

Jane, you make me feel good! My 3 projects don't seem too bad!

Enjoy your holiday.............and your knitting!

Hi

I'm not as bad as I used to be but I do have several projects on the go at once. I'm constantly making hats and scarves for charity, at present I'm making a mermaid doll, a cardigan, a dinosaur, and quiet a few long term WIP which I try really hard to get done but have lost interest!

Hi Liz

I think my long term WIP are left for the same reason as yours.....I get a bit bored and want to start something new!

Me too. Boredom plays a big part in things getting left, that and not meeting deadlines The jumper for my husband was supposed to be a birthday present but it's still not finished and his birthday was October!

Hi Jane

Perhaps it may be finished by next birthday?!

Hi

I am terrible about this too. I always have a lot of projects on the go at once. For me it is because I get an idea for something or see a new pattern and just have to start straight away. The other projects then get left for a while but all get finished eventually.

I also have one cardi that I finished ages ago and have not yet sewn up as other things got done first.

As well as all the knitting and crochet I have 5 cross stitch projects on the go at the moment.

Hi all - was a member of the old forum so nice to see/hear everyone again.

What is the longest you have had a project on the go?

I started a cardigan not long after I was married - our next anniversary will be our 20th. Cardigan still not done and I am twice the size

I am sure someone can beat that though

Hi

I think 20 years may take some beating!
