Optimal number of wips?
What if I only could start a new project after finishing two wips? How long would it take to reduce the number of wips to one? Is it at all possible? Or desirable?

Welcome!
I live in a small Norwegian town. When I'm not busy with the rest of my life, I love crafting. I mostly knit, but I also crochet and sew. I like to make my own designs. If you have questions about my patterns, feel free to contact me: torirot(at)gmail(dot)com

Jeg har maange pågående, de fleste blir ferdige på kort eller lang sikt, andre blir liggende og til slutt til opprekksgarn...
Syns det er optimalt å ha mange jeg, for da er det alltid et eller annet å strikke på i de periodene jeg ikke er kreativ nok til å komme på noe nytt.
After taking my knitting to a new level this winter (before it was just a sweater at a time) I have several projects. And I love them all, well most of them. Enjoy the stitches without beeing a "good girl". Ut med flink pike syndromet. La det flomme over av prosjekter!!!
I say unless you are on a deadline or knitting is your job, have as many WIP as you want. You will get fewer FO's of course, but that is another questions.
I find that I am happiest with about 6 WIPs but feel it's a very personal decision. Sometimes I waste time because I have failed to write down details and much later pick up a project again, but I think it's worth it for the variety.
My mum is always telling me off for having so many WIPs, but I like to switch between things. Some days you might feel more like colourwork or a different weight, so I say at least 3 WIPs seems sensible! I think I'd draw the line at about 10 though, and attempt to finish 1 or 2 before starting a new one.
I'd still NEVER get done! Ever!
You have some incredibly wonderful work here!
