Maybe pick just a couple of things to work on at a time and hang with them to completion. I have found that being able to "cross things off a list" carries a lot of satisfaction. I am ever so thankful that I have no stash and only 2 projects on needles at a time. I used to be a committed one-project-at-a-time person and have recently branched out to 2 at a time, as you know. Since I REALLY like the feeling of completing a project, keeping my WIPs to 2 allows me to achieve that feeling more often than if I had a bunch of projects going on at the same time. Some people are "openers" and some people are "finishers."

It felt good. There are still a couple of sweaters at the 60-70% mark that I really need to address. I think the fact that you're even thinking about change is 1/2 the battle!

You have undertaken a big project, one I've had in the back of my mind, but I haven't even moved it to the forefront or done anything concrete. I'm wondering if I can make this my big project for July also? No promises yet, but thank you for giving me something "to think on" and some action items "to work on".

I think trying to connect every skein to a knitting project would be overwhelming, though.Carolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09438414339444169303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1195641087108033893.post-21666319237767639082015-07-13T14:36:41.166-04:002015-07-13T14:36:41.166-04:00Good plan-evaluate, decide, re-evaluate, begin-was...Good plan-evaluate, decide, re-evaluate, begin-wash and repeat.

Every person is different, for me large needles and bulky yarn are what cause pain, so I tend to avoid those projects or work on them for short periods of time. Listen to your body and you'll find what works for you. I admire how organized you are!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00305099786659577370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1195641087108033893.post-84175121934957622672015-07-13T14:24:10.684-04:002015-07-13T14:24:10.684-04:00You're working on doing what I'm now doing...You're working on doing what I'm now doing. It's so easy to become distracted by new projects and never finish what's in the queue, or make the queue (or favorites) so large they are hard to sort through. I tag everything with as many tags I think will do the trick and that makes it easy to sort through "my own stuff". margenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00203284423648703855noreply@blogger.com
