Projects in progress

I currently have 4 knitting projects in progress, well 5 if you consider I've made one wrister and need to knit its mate. This seems to be a common affliction for knitters - we love to start different projects.

Sometimes I get bored with the current project and need a change. This is what happened with a toddler sweater. The sweater is nearly complete with only a sleeve to go but alas it sits neglected in a bag in my knitting corner.

Sometimes I just can't wait to use a new yarn or try a new stitch. For example the poor rose garden scarf that was tossed aside to play with the new yarn I won on ebay.

Or sometimes I just need to knit something fast so that I can get that "knitter-high" that only comes when you finish a piece. This is what happened to that ebay yarn scarf.

And of course I have a million different projects in my head - like the baby leg warmers I started.

Sigh...
