Your UFO pile resembles the volume of mine I had to get realistic about when I thought I would inventory stash and UFOs for Ravelry. A few got frogged which were unloved or no longer applicable. Others have been brought to the surface. The photo inventory for Ravelry didn't get done, as that would have involved remembering how to work Flickr.... Your projects are looking good, though!

Overflowing WIPs and a bad case of startitis. I have been making the same baby kimono as you for about four months. I do a couple of rows every few weeks and I just finished it. Strawberry-shaped buttons. Very cute. I'm just trying desperately to get all my Christmas things finished in time now. Will another dish rag tag be run? I was on Rags to Dishes and I had a fabulous time. This was the best run swap I've seen so far. Thank you again. K. I have the same problem. Overflowing WIPs and a bad case of startitis.

Most of them are near completion or scheduled as long-term. I also have a strict limit for UFOs, but sometimes stretch it. I've also learned to frog things I don't think I'll finish and "unplan" projects that just aren't going to fit the time I have. And then there are those that are just keepsakes or knitting done for the process, not the product. Single socks can be relegated to that category. :) Your projects seem quite manageable to me.

The bunny hat is so that the cats like the baby more. Something for everyone!

I honestly don't know how anyone can stick to a 3-project rule. I think I might have a somewhere-around-2-dozen rule. Not all knitting, of course, but still... You have no need to feel shameful.

I had so many delusions of how much crafting time I'd have...mind you a routine would help... We were worried about our cat and the baby, but he mostly ignores her (and runs outside when the crying gets too much) the main problem is he wants to sit on my lap while I'm feeding, but if husband is home he will go to him for some lovin'. Your cats should be fine. All I can say is get as much done as you can now - babies are a huge timesuck. I had so many delusions of how much crafting time I’d have…mind you a routine would help…

However, they are all very worthy WIPs, and you've had a whole new knitting target inserted into your life without the subtraction of any others, so why shouldn't you be a bit overwhelmed?

Write all the projects on strips of paper. Fold them and put the strips in a cool container on the kitchen table. Pick one project strip out and work on it as long as you care to, or pick another strip and work on that. It's now a game, and what ever you do will make winners all around! The game needs prizes, so make some rewards for yourself when you get something done. I'm cheering you on to victory. I say the den is just chock full-of-fun!
