Project starter

Ever know someone, probably a multi-tasker, who starts projects, but then loses steam and never finishes?  Maybe you're one of us...er, them.  Why is it that I have no fewer than 6 knit/crochet projects started, which I believe starting is the hardest part of the actual project, that I can't just finish?!

You know, like this blog.  Although I think blogs by definition, blog are supposed to be ongoing.

I am obsessed with these 'green' bags.  I've sewn my own; I've bought them everywhere; people have purchased some for me.  If I really thought about it, I'd guess I own at least 20.  More is better.  Keep some in the car all the time, etc.  I also love bags in general.  I have 3 Kenneth Cole tote-ish bags that I bought for no reason at all.  They were cute and on sale.  Need I say more?

I bring this up because when I start a new project, I generally put it in one of these green bags.  I used to keep a 'knitting bag' (purple and also KC), but that grew too small.  All my projects would get tangled, so I thought it would be a great idea to have everything in its own place.  No, not that I shouldn't start a new project until I'd finished the last one.  That would be completely logical.

So now, when I go to the grocery store, I have a maximum of 4 bags with me at any time.  Why?  Because the rest are holding my other projects!  And not just the green bags are guilty of project-holding!  The nicer bags from Starbucks, Victoria's Secret, and even Banana Republic hold projects.

Looking at my Ravelry page, I have the following wip (work in progress).
A toy dragon
A toy alligator (which I was supposed to bring to Puerto Rico last month)
A kitchen witch
A bag (yes, I make bags to put more projects in!)
A toy monkey
A belly dancing hip scarf (not that I've been back to belly dancing in months)
A baby blanket (don't ask which child this was originally intended for)
A toy flying spaghetti monster (I even begged floral wire off a friend)
A meditation shawl
A mohawk hat


The sad thing is that these are just the ones I bothered to put up on there!  I'm pretty sure I have at least 2 pair of socks in progress as well.  Come to think of it, I've never completed socks.  Or a full pair of mittens. I've made plenty of single mittens.  In fact, I wear mismatching mittens because they're made of the same color yarn, but one has a flap that pulls back and the other is a regular mitten.  It's actually kind of convenient, but I probably look slightly retarded.  When don't I though?

Am I the only one who does this?!
