Coming to terms if half the battle...

I had to admit it... "How many WIPs do you have???"  I started counting....

Newest to oldest:
Adrift by Carol Feller
Kodachrome by Lindsay Ingram
Nanook by Heidi Kirrmaier
Marin by Ysolda Teague
Java Summer Scarf by Johanna ShiM
Flaming June by Cheryl Niamath
Breezy Cardigan by Hannah Fettig
Barb's Koigu Ruffle by Churchmouse Yarns
Plein Air Tote by Amanda Scheuzger
Still Light Tunic by Veera Välimäki
Milky Mitts & Fingerless Gloves by Renae Jones
Cinnamon Bay by Carol Feller
Anthemion Wrap by Miriam L. Felton
Okay, its out there.  I have all hopes to finish all of them and start new ones!
In my defense, when I make a blunder, I usually put the project in the bad project box till I can figure out what happened and how to fix it. Marin falls in that category.  Adrift I have to tink back three rows to find a mistake. Anthemion falls in this category too, I have to figure out what I did wrong. As far as Milky Mitts is concerned, I am not sure what I will do.  The thumb is huge!  I followed instructions and it is just plain weird.  I have started mitt #2 but it sits...
Plein Air is awaiting the move to Fla as the fabric to line the inside is in the Pod.
Nanook is almost finished and I was working on it last weekend.
Breezy is almost finished and I took it on vacation to work on it.
Flaming is halfway done and I was working on that last week too.
Kodachrome back is finished and I am almost to the second decrease on the front (I knit a few inches while waiting in long lines at Disney World this weekend.)
On going projects just because they are long are Java and Barb's Koigu and Cinnamon Bay (which is 90 percent done but it has almost 525 stitches and I have to wrestle with it to work on it.
Lastly there is Still Light (which I love)... it was my first sweater attempt.  I thought because of my 34DDDDs that I needed extra raglan increases to accommodate.  However I got down to the pockets and started the sleeve which I finished and bound off (I needed to do extra decreases because I thought it would be too big - that was a understatement).  Second problem was one pocket had 10 more stitches that the other... "How'd that happen?"  Third problem.... I had the DDDDs reduced to Ds, so..... I put it away for a bit till I could think of what to do.  When I pulled it back out, the moths had lunch.  So I plan to rip back to raglan's and start from there.  I did start ripping back though.
Did I cover them all????
Sin an fáth a bhfuil mé ina amadán cniotála ...
