I had decided to try to do a little on each project each day, now that they are getting bigger and are slower going. But I can’t do it. I don’t enjoy changing from project to project in one day. I prefer to get a rhythm going on one and make to visible progress. So then I decided to do one project at a time, so I could have at least one finished project, and I put aside a few of the projects. This lasted two days. I simply can’t leave any one of the projects alone. So my new strategy is to work on one project for one or two days, make progress, and move on to another, so I can touch each one and make visible progress on each every week. I hope I can stick with this plan. Of course it means I won’t have any interesting photos for at least a week. Oh well, I’ll just have to enjoy all of yours. They are lovely.
Oh and a note–the couple of days between working on any one project really helps to work out those nagging issues–just how will I work out that decrease, just which pattern will I add here? The brain keeps working on a project, even when the hands are taking a break.

This is SO true! I find that happens with me too…but sometimes it leads me in quite different (distracting) directions & I find it hard to get back to what I was originally working on!
Take, for instance, the 2 skinny scarves & the cape I just whipped out because I was looking through BW for ideas to put in my mananita…

I like that–project monogamy.
I’m going with project monogamy at the moment. Unfortunately it doesn’t involve lace, I’m trying to finish off my Tour de France Knitalong project as I’m sick of it, and I want my sock needles back! Once that’s done I’ll get my lace done, and then there’s the Ravelympics, I’m doing 2 shawls for that, both the same, one for each of my housemates/best friends.
