Needlework Doldrums

I have 5 projects in progress, and I have 2 projects that I want to start. When I get to this point, I need to finish something before I start something else. I can't really explain this need, but it is like I have too many open ends. That seems strange, but I just need to finish something & in this case, I need the needles from one of my unfinished projects in order to start the other project. I don't even know if I am making any sense. This is a really great 1st post. I'll just go back to my socks now.
