too many projects

I need to keep track of what I have going on with my knitting. I have projects on my needles that I'm bored with, but must be finished before I do anything new and gift projects that need to be started soon. I feel like my knitting mojo is in danger!

WIP's:
- Branching Out - I've lost steam on this for a few reasons. It's my first lace project following a chart, so no knitting this while the TV is on. Also, I fear I may not have enough yarn to make this a decent length.
- Simple Shrug - I'm so sick of this damn thing. No real sensible reason why, just SICK of it.
- A pair of socks in my handdyed yarn to learn to knit with the 2 circulars method. The pattern is just written poorly so it gets on my nerves.

Gifts to Knit:
- a baby blanket for Dave's cousin. I want to make something rather impressive, which shouldn't be too hard since there's not really any knitters in the family. However, I don't want it to consume my soul. Think I can get it done by early March?
- socks for my Mom for mother's day. I got this pretty merino/cashmere blend sock yarn in a swap. But pastels and pinks are definitely not my color, so to my mother it will go!

What I reeeeally want to knit:
- Lady E. In what yarn I haven't decided. Rowan Tapestry? Silk Garden? SWS? Karaoke?
- Wicked
- Shetland Triangle Shawl from Wrap Style

Hi Miranda, I really like the Wicked, that looks like a great sweater. I am so not into lace, and it would probably bug me that I can't watch TV while working on a project like that, so for me I probably wouldn't have started that one, but it will be beautiful when you have completed it.
