I think it depends on the knitter. Sometimes when I’m really into a project, I’ll become a one-project knitter and make excellent progress on it. If, however, I’m working on something that has begun to bore me I will NOT work on it, but if I maintain this “I must knit on only thing thing” deal I end up knitting nothing at all. In that case, I’d rather become a multi-project knitter and I make progress on everything.

I hope you can take a few hours out of your day tomorrow to come knit with us. :)

I know what you mean about the feeling of accomplishment you get when you finish something. Especially a major project. I like to have one major project going and then something quick and easy on the side. That way, when I need a break from whatever my major project is, I have something that’s pretty darn close to instant gratification as far as knitting is concerned.

I hate it when a post hits me over the head like this . . . it’s kinda hard to ignore. ;-)

I totally understand what you’re saying and it’s something I’ve had at the back of my mind (in the dusty recesses where I keep the guilt and shame of UFO’s). I *DO* enjoy the rush I get when I manage to completely devote myself to something where there is that “discernable progress,” of which you and Eunny speak. It’s amazing and I should do it more often.

Congratulations on all the “house work” you did this weekend.

ugh house projects. trying to get anything finished is tortuous. we currently have at least a dozen projects that are in various phases of being done. it drives me crazy. unfortunately i can’t do them myself, otherwise i would have.

knitting/craft projects is another thing altogether. haha. i rationalize having multiple projects going becuase i can’t always take the big ass sweater to work, or want to work on something complicated while hanging out with the inlaws.

and um…what’s wrong with crochet?
