More Than One Knitting Project?

I know some people may think you should finish one project before you start another, but I find it helpful to have more than one project to work on at a time.

Sometimes you don’t always feel like working on your main project. You might be a bit bored or a bit stuck at a tricky bit, or just too tired to concentrate. Or if you go to a knitting group or you have a knit and natter with friends, you need an easier project to work on otherwise with all the chatter, you end up going wrong.

This is when another easier project is great. Something easy and simple that doesn’t take too much brain power but something that your hands can keep occupied with.

I also find on long journeys that I want to take some knitting with me, and again I need something that is easy to work on and preferably doesn’t require me to keep looking at it.

Knitting is great for destressing, but not if you’re trying to work out a tricky bit that is stressing you out – so just switch projects and come back to the problem with a clear head, but in the meantime enjoy some easy relaxing knitting.
I would recommend always having 2 projects on the go.
