I ususally work on only one project at a time. I really have no desire to start a new project before the current one is finished. But I am trying to stretch a bit. I have joined a couple Knit-alongs (KAL's) and when I do that I sometimes have to start a new project while the current one sits. I have also been trying to keep a pair of socks on a needle so I will have something to take with me when my current project doesn't lend itself to going out.
I'm Acanthus on Ravelry. If you are a knitter and aren't on Ravelry, what are you waiting for? It's a great resource that you can use for free and as much or as little as you like.
The links below are for the knit alongs that I have been a part of. I was away the last 10 days of June, so missed the chance to join the Tour de France Knit-along this year. It was fun last year, so I'll try to remember at the right time next year.
