Maybe the rules for knitters are different, but you're not considered a serious cross stitcher unless you have boxes and boxes of thread, fabric, and unfinished projects. :)
Oh, I know. I have to sit on myself, though, because I have serious hoarding tendencies (as in, if I don't watch myself, I'll be one of those people you read about on the news who were found dead under twenty tons of old newspapers in a home filled with junk —one reason I don't read the paper!), and never ever finish a project the minute I lay it aside for a new one.
So I have a strict rule: I start a project, I finish it, and only then am I allowed to look at shiny new projects.
I have a trunk full of scrap yarn that I keep thinking I should do something with, but then I go to the yarn store and find the perfect yarn to go with the project I just found on Ravelry.

Hence why I typically have four projects going at any given time. *facepalm*
