How many projects do you have on the go?

[aJumpedUpPantryBoy]

Come and make me feel better about the fact that I have so many unfinished projects

I have a scarf which is two thirds finished can't be arsed cos it is not winter anymore (crochet)

A flowers in snow blanket (crochet) - this is for me, I love it, but wanted a break from using so many different colours

A baby blanket (crochet)- for a colleague, needs to be finished by July

Bunting (crochet)

A silk painted scarf - gutta-ed and pinned out half painted paint

A pile of uncompleted scrapbook pages

Some half finished birthday cards

I am sitting on my hands trying to stop myself from starting cushion covers and another blanket (seen some patterns I want to try)

I sometimes wish I could start one thing and finish it but it seems to be in my nature to flit and dabble and occasionally actually finish something!

I have a patchwork quilt that I am scared of a bag, a dress for DD and a selection of softies. I am a bit crap!

Just remembered that I also have a patchwork quilt and some knitting as well.

Hmmmm... Crochet wise I have my ripple blanket and my recycled ugly blanket and the little jackets I am making for a set of galvanised buckets. Those three are actually started. I also have the wool for another blanket so that is ready to be started.

I also have DIY projects - i.e. I need to decorate the whole house. I include this as it tends to lead to more projects (like the bucket jackets which are in my nearly finished Futility Room.) I have an old ladder to make into a towel ladder for the family bathroom... the bathroom which feds a new bat, re-tiling and a spot of tongue and groove panelling and some crochet bunting.

I als have a few sewing projects but they all in my head at the moment as I need to get my sewing machine serviced before I can start any of those.

You're making me feel much better.

I think part of my problem is I start something then get bored so I start something else.

I'm also easily tempted by new crafts and projects

B@$£@®¿ pirate flat packed just needs sewn up but there are 800 bits- i hate Alan dart
Shaun the sheep also knitted but flat pack
Teddy with no eyes or tail and ears not sewn on
crochet experiment
Jacob fleece half spun (couldn't spin because of spd)
Baby blanket
baby cow/mouse comforter needs ribbon edging sewn on

can you tell i don't like sewing much

I've about 5 quilt tops that need quilting, 2 knitting projects, 1 crochet project, 1 cross-stitch project and a goldwork project.

To be honest I've lost count!

Don't ask,
I have an UFO, piece of xstitch for DMIL who died 12 years ago and another meant for DD2's nursery, she's11

Only 2, not counting DD's quilt which could use more quilting but i have bound it for now so I can put it to one side.

A hat for DD, needs sewing up & pomspoms attaching
PJ bottoms for me and DD, just need the waist bands finishing
12 soft blocks (6 for my baby, 6 for a friend's), squares cut out, need sewing up and stuffing
A teddy DS designed (?!) made but needs a face
A frog soft toy, cut out but not a stitch on it

I don't think I could list all mine tbh.

Just as an example I have

• a cardigan for me. Back done and one side
• jumper for DS1 - only the sleeves to go but it has taken so long it had better be for DS2 now.
• Granny stripe blanket. I have 3 100g balls each for 4 colours and have only used about a ball and a bit for each colour so it is going to be big.
• Countless samples for my patchwork and quilting City and Guilds
• an assessed piece for C&G (probably a table runner)
• 1/3 of a crocheted hexagone blanket.
• blanket with squares - knitted
• a pair of socks (they scared me - I was frightened of doing heels but I have done one and now lost interest with the rest of the sock and its pair)
• half a tank top for me
• a hat for DS1 - I used DK and small needles. Big mistake. It is taking too long and is all rib which is boring.
• a summer jumper I have done about half the back for
• I have volunteered to make some stuff for a craft stall at the church fete. Loads of bits needed for that. I daren't even think about it.

So what have I done for the past few nights? Read craft magazines and got more ideas.

Erm, dunno! Off the top of my head:
6 reversible sunhats cut out and ready to sew, but not a stitch actually on them yet, for a craft fair in May.
1 sunhat both sides sewn and just needs joining together, ditto.
8 tooth fairy purses cut out, appliqued and some of them part sewn, ditto.
1 applique tshirt, know what I'm doing just need to get bum in gear and do it.
1 applique tshirt for DD's friend's bday - which is tomorrow, this is tonight's job!
1 sunhat age 6-12m, had to draft new pattern for that one and have made a draft version of it just need to check size on an appropriately aged baby at playgroup on Monday before I make it up (this is an order).
1 jelly roll race quilt, jelly roll hasn't arrived yet though, race is in about 2 weeks time.
A load of bandana bibs for the craft fair too.

And loads of stuff that's just on a back burner till I get a moment to do it.

I keep looking through my copies of Sew Hip and finding more stuff to make though!

Not a lot, actually, because I'm a "completist", even though I get bored with a project I have to see it through to its bitter end!

So, two current projects:
Cable scarf
Patchwork throw

I will finish mine BssBosch, despite appearances and my list - I am, in personality type lingo, a completer/finisher but I do like starting things too. It is the bit in the middle I find a bit dull.

My list bothers me and will continue to do so until I get it done. Just don't know when that will be!

Whoops I missed out an 'h' from your name. I should know better by now!

I wish I was a completist.

I love finishing projects (probably cos it's a rare pleasure for me) but I get more of a thrill planning and starting things.

As well as the many uncompleted things I have I also want to start a ripple blankets, a granny stripe and some crocheted cushions.

I'm even thinking about sewing some Summer skirts, despite the fact I've never made clothes and don't know where to start

A dress for 4 year old, A baby quilt for her expected sister (due August), Some cushions 'pockets' for the caravan, Cotton knitting for DDIL, various softies, oh and some stuffed fruit for fruit bowl.

I have a baby cardi in alpaca that just (!) needs sewing up, was knitted in one piece so minimal really, I just don't like sewing up. Some lacy wristwarmers for DD, same.

Half a knitted cardi that I started for DD so long ago that my tension is totally different now - will need to be redone TBH.

WIP is a baby cardi in Snuggly 4ply, am still on the first sleeve. I finished and posted 2 baby hats though

and frogged half a knitted elephant with too many mistakes in it

I too am a completist, if that is a correct word!
I enjoy seeing something through to the end.
I have a couple of dresses for dd to finish and a few pencil rolls I have started, but will finish this week, before I start on some nighties for dd.
