So many projects

In Sunday's Math4Knitters podcast, Lara Neel mentions that she and her twin sister will swap patterns (Lara is a knitter, Lisa a crocheter) so neither has to take up the others craft. Those patterns are then relegated to the "to-do" box, where many times they linger waiting for to be taken out and used to make something pretty. (Note: This small part of the nearly hour-long podcast is somewhere around the 40-minute mark).

While listening to the podcast, those few minutes of banter with Lara's guest reminded me: I have a ton of projects I want to do. I have books and books of patterns and many more printed off the Internet.

What has become of these patterns? Well, the book jackets are dust-covered and the most I've done with the Internet patterns (thanks to a friend) is put them in page protectors and place them in three-ring binders (which are also dust-covered).

So, fellow crafters, do you have a lot (of projects) on your mind?
