Do you ever get bored with the bears? I made a Jayne Cobb hat for my cousin and need to do at least 2 more before Christmas. I got halfway through the second and was all "bleh". Evidently my knitting boredom threshold is quite low.
That is a great question and, unfortunately, my answer pretty much sucks. I never ever get tired of bears and I have no clue why. I knit them exclusively for a couple of years. Then I started knitting other kinds of toys - monkeys, elephants, etc. And after about a year of that, I went right back to bears and have been there ever since. Nothing but bears. When I get close to the end of one, I'm already picking out the color and getting all jazzed about the next one.
I have over these years, attempted other things. I started a sweater. I got excruciatingly board with it about 1/3rd the way through. I hate sitting in movies with nothing to do, so I made a couple of scarves while in movie theaters. Yawn.
I have my thing that I do often - the tunisian short row dishcloths. I never get tired of those, they're what I make when I don't have a project in the works or just don't feel like working on it.
But most of the time, I'm a project jumper. I've 3 or 4 on the needles right now that I keep alternating between.

But, bears, I'm all over those suckers.
See? Crappy answer. Sorry!!
