Maximum Capacity

So it finally happened. I think I've finally hit the maximum level of UFO's that I'm comfortable with. Even tho' I'm sort of bored restless with my current projects, I can't bring myself to start something new.

So what's the magic number? I have no idea. Maybe that's the problem. I have no idea how many projects I've started and have been put into the UFO closet so I can start something new. Let's say a lot. Well, some people think 5 UFO's is a lot, and there are many many more than that. Let's guess somewhere between 50 and 100 projects sitting in the closet waiting for me to either finish them or decide to use the yarn for something else. I don't even need that many sweaters.

I would say that there are at least 20 projects that I really really want to finish so I "have" them. There are lot of projects that I just wanted to try the yarn and pattern, but I'm not sure I love the project enough to ever finish it. Yet, I can't bring myself to frog the project.

So I'm trying to stay focused. I do think the monthly challenge has helped quite a bit. I do stay a little more focused, even if I haven't been able to actually accomplish any of my original goals. October was supposed to be a "scary" project, and I'm beginning to think all those UFO's are getting pretty scary. Finishing any project at this point would be to get rid of a scary project.

So the October Challenge has been a bust for me. I haven't worked more than maybe one or two rows on the project I selected. However, I'm still on goal to finish my September Goals. It's just a month late. (I'll blame the 4 baby sweaters for my vet that I did in September... oh and speaking of the sweaters, I received a lovely note from our vet and the sweaters will be worn for their christening. I'm hoping I get a picture).

So let's do an update for the Challenge (I'll completely ignore the October Challenge goals and concentrate on the September Challenge).

• Finish 2 WIP's off side bar list one finished


• 2 afghan blocks 3 finished

Hey, that's not bad. I'm still going to try to finish one more block for the afghan this month, and that will keep me on schedule for 2 blocks a month. I'm not sure I have time to finish a second project off the WIP list, but I'll keep plugging away on them and eventually something will get done. (yes, Matt, I'll concentrate on the Cable O's Vest for ya!)
