I am currently working on 2 afghans and a pet blanket. Have 3 more patterns ready to start on for afghans and want to do a pocket scarf in school colors.
I only have 2…so far:) I really want to start a scarf, but feel I ought to finish at least one of the 2….lol….thank you for the chance to win.
I currently have 4 baby blankets, 2 pairs of socks and a hat. Doesn’t mean that there won’t be more tonight on a hook.

I’m working on granny squares for a baby blanket to use up some of my stash while I figure out what I want to make for Christmas gifts.

I have at least 4 in progress and plans for at least 4 more!
I have 4 projects that are about half way done and I am fighting the urge to start another, I think I have crocheting and knitting A.D.D.
right now there are only 3 WIP n my house. A wedding afghan, a doily for me, and dishcloths which are portable enough for me to take along…..
I have too many to count, but my favorite ones are the NFL inspired scarves. Just started another Steeler scarf for my brothers-in-law.
I have a total of 7. Three blankets, 1 sweater, 3 hats. There might be a couple more that I’ve got stashed away!
More than I have fingers or toes… Book bag for my daughter, hats for baby photo props, blankets for baby props, hats for friends and family, scarfs, tutus for photo props, headbands for baby’s, crochet bombing a wing back chair, afghans for gifts, crochet animals, baby blanket lovey’s, iphone cases/pouches/purses, leg warmers… I’m never with out a project, always have yarn and a hook no matter where I go.
I have five afghans as works in progress, only one is a baby afghan. No make that six.
Total, I’ve got 6 or 7, but I’m only actively working on two.
Hmmm… lets see…

I just finished a dress, hat, and booties for a baby doll. On my other hook I have a tunic top, on my sewing machine I have a table runner started, on my knitting needles I have a set of washcloths started. On another crochet hook, I have a Barbie wedding dress begun.
Three so far. LOL It could be more before Christmas. I always start something before Christmas and never finish it. 🙂
I have 4 wip at the present time. I have second sock syndrome.
I think I have about 7 WIPs… Only 1 of them is for me, 2 are gifts for my nieces, one is a baby blanket for my cousin who is expecting in a few months, 1 is for my friends’ baby and the rest are lace snowflakes and Christmas bells.
I have 3 blankets & 2 hats going that I can find right off hand. There are a few more I’m sure in the “box of shame” ie projects I have temporarily given up on. & countless bags of yarn sitting for the projects I really want to make!
I have 10 a work from crochet demos and classes, I have 8 for my blog and 6 for gifts….. so that makes 24……………………………….. DO you guys think I have a problem???
I currently have about 7 WIP’s….from washcloths to baby blankets 🙂
I have several afghans to finish and a vest several cross stitch pictures,I change between them so I don’t get bored. I have finished two baby Christening afghans in record time as they were for my twin grandsons.
I have a few WIP’s. An afghan, an ipad tote, an ereader tote, a christening outfit, a scarf, baby booties, bumble bee hot pad and a hat. Probably more than that but thowe are ones I’m currently working on.
i have a craft fair in november so i have about 24 wips for it.
Oh my! I always have WIP’s. right now I have at lead 9 but who knows what I’ve forgotten about in a storage tub or closet 🙂
I just finished up 2 WIP’S that were laying around for 2 years! I’ll pick up another soon.
There are 2 baby blankets that I told my youngest son, 17, that I hoped to finish by the time he has children, lol.
I have too many to count, I know of one afghan I’ve been working on for almost 3 years. It’s for our bed, but stop working on it to make something for someone else. I’m now working on doilies for x-mas gifts!
One bracelet (birthday gift for Saturday), one case for sunglasses in granny squares, several crochet earrings, a scarf for myself, a scarf and hat for my daughter, a scarf for my other daughter… that’s about it I think 🙂
I have 1 in my car, 1 by my chair, 1 by my bed, 1 at my sons house, 1 in my purse and 3 in storage waiting for more yarn,. Think that makes 8.
Just two… finished a hotpad last night and have a scarf and an afghan started.
(did this contest end 9/17 as stated?)
I have 4 crochet projects in progress and just found a 5th one I’d like to start, but I must wait!
Currently on the hooks: 3 baby afghans, 1 amigurumi, an 1 lady bug costume for a total of 5. All of them should be done within the next week and a half or so.
I have 3 left to do!! Hubby had to work this weekend so I finished 2. Now to finish these three then I can start another. 🙂
Sadly, I’m not sure I can count that hight, lol….can you say ADD? Too many great patterns, too much awesome yarn!
I have at LEAST 5…. Probably a lot more that I’ve forgotten about. 😉
I believe I have three WIPs (most notably, my daughter’s baby blanket started before she was born… She’s now 2… :-/)
I have 5 baby outfits that are done except for the buttons and/or snaps. 3 afghans started that I lost interest in. And lots of notes and patterns set aside for the holiday stitching that I desperately need to start 😀
Four plus..one amigurumi, one afghan, one baby blanket, one hat, and a whole bunch of baby booties that just need a ribbon added to be complete and ready to donate
I have 3 that I can remember right now. My DH’s blanket, a house blanket, and a doily.
I’m working on 2 baby bootie designs, a cocoon, and a shrug.
Let’s see……15 and counting. Hope the contest is still running.It was posted on facebook today by All Free Crochet. Thanks. 🙂
I have 2 projects that I am working on everyday, a baby blanket and a weather afghan. I have 2 projects hiberating, 2 shawls. I usually also have a dishcloth kal going on.
Several dishcloths,couple scarves, frog baby blanket, shawl, baby blanket, baby cocoon, and not sure what else. Most crochet,a couple knitting (I am teaching myself so they are easy).
I have a granny throw, a lamb, dolls dresses for Operation Christmas Child, a tote bag for a baby shower and a horse (I get bored easy so I go back & forth on my WIP). Plus the dish cloths that I take everywhere with me so I don’t twidlle my thumbs while waiting someplace.
Three: a blanket (all that’s left is weaving in the ends), a hat to match the blanket, a camera cozy for my DSLR, and a purse I’ve been working on since summer… and I really need to start the xmas crafting!
2 scarves in progress 🙂
Id bet I have over 10 and some of them go way back. My favorite one is the pieces quilt I’m doing. its a waffle stitch but you use all the ends of your yarns that’s left after a project is done. very multi-colored and beautiful.
I am currently going through treatment for breast cancer. I have been off of work for four months and have been crocheting like a mad woman making hats for other chemo patients. I currently have four other projects going, but they can be dropped at a moments notice if I hear of a cancer patient in need of a hat! Our bald heads get cold!! 🙂
I just figured out that WIP means Works In Process. Yeah, me! (Or maybe that should read “shame on me”. hehehe). Yesterday I finished a project so that left me with only 1 piece I’m working on but I’m itching to start a new baby blanket so I predict that 10 minutes from now I’ll be back up to 2 WPI’s. 😀
have a scarf ,and 2 blankets and 3 purses and some Christmas ornaments I am working on.
4 that I See everyday at least 5 that I stored aay plus 2 maybe 3 holiday projects from last holiday sesión. (EADS Sept 17?)?
I know the contest is over, but I’ll comment anyway. I’m working on a baby blanket for a friend, Learning a new pattern for a washcloth and a shawl!
I am working on a few lol. I have about 9 projects going right now, along with some ideas for many more 🙂
Actually I have too many WIP’s to count as I have at least one or more of each of the following crafts that I do, knitting, crocheting, sewing, cross-stitching and plastic canvas. I get tired of doing one type I work on another and eventually I get them done.
Way too many to count! Almost all gifts & a few special orders. One of them being a 17 x 11 ft tablecloth for a bridal party table at the reception…what was I thinking? lol!
I have 2 blankets, almost done with 1, and am getting ready to start on a cocoon for my grandson before he’s born.
