Its no secret at all and in fact my current projects are so numerous that I’ve been seriously considering adding an OTN (On The Needles) section to this site! At the moment its:

crochet string basket

knitted “big wool” bag with the rest of the pink, its fabulous and has beading and cabling. I’ve done the interesting bit and now need to knit the back of it.

a crochet turtle (pattern from http://www.roxycraft.com)

not started but soon will be, fingerless gloves. I’ve bought gorgeous cashmere wool in aran weight to make this pattern from knitty.com – but they’re cabled and knitted on a set of double-pointed needles so there’s some quite scary stuff in that project

technically I’m part way through a crocheted cushion but its slow going and quite boring so to be honest I might reclaim the yarn and think of something else.

I’ve also got that white crochet bag you’ve seen to line before it becomes actually useful. And later in the year I will be knitting many baby things as there will be a new arrival in the extended family :)

As for your next project I think there are some definite options. Its the season for mittens and hats, mine were knitted but there are good crochet patterns out there as well and chunky wool projects grow fast. Or how about something I saw few months ago in Simply Knitting? A crochet cushion, where you make a granny square but do each row in a new colour and just keep adding more and more rounds to it until its the right size. You would need to sew though as it needs a back and also a lining for the front … let me know what you choose.
