Crafting A.D.D.

I have been busy on the crafting front. Right now I have a bunch of stuff started. I really wish I was one of those people who could do one project at a time - I'm not. To be honest, this is not all of the projects I have started. I'm not even going to count.
This is a disappearing 9 patch. It is an easy pattern and with the coordinating fabrics the 9 patch actually disappears (it would probably disappear without coordinating fabrics). It will be wall hanging size.

I love the Oz fabrics from moda. I bought a bunch (10) charm packs to make a stacked coin quilt for our bed. It's been fun so far, but I am only through 2 charm packs. Ask me about it in a few more packs.
I have been taking a class to learn magic loop (also to knit uninterrupted for 2 hours for a couple of Sundays). This is the most loved heal flap. It was knit and reknit several times due to the people around me counting or saying the pattern out loud. Ok people.... it is not necessary to repeat a two step knit slip over and over OR slip one purl, purl, purl......
I was pretty frustrated because I have knit socks before - many socks... and I couldn't even get the heal flap to come out right.

You are putting me to SHAME with your stacked coin progress. To shame. I looked at that Moda fabric at Stitcher's today...I love it! That 9 patch looks cool as well. Sorry about the sock setback.

There is nothing wrong with multiple WIPs!
