I know that feeling, about not being enthusiastic about any of the projects currently on the needles, and dying to start something new instead. I generally am able to take advantage of my need to finish one thing before going on to the next by setting myself the rule that I'm not "allowed" to cast on for Project Y until I'm done with Project X -- for example, I expect to go nuts with the socks on the week after Xmas (assuming I have all my gifts done by then), but I'm going to allow myself no more than three new sock projects at once, and probably going to make myself finish the Thelonious pair before casting on for the second (and hopefully the Bayerische mitts before starting the third). (And give myself a week of socky goodness before starting a new sweater on Jan 1st, ah ha hah!)
I feel no real love for my knitalong afghan -- in that, I don't look forward to picking it up with enthusiasm, but I look forward to having it done, and at least I've gotten so used to the pattern that I only need to consult it for a small segment of every odd row. And I'm used to having that little quota of eight rows apiece on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays -- the idea of tossing that out for the next couple of weekends is killing me (though largely because of the painful prospect of having to catch up on that much of the panel during my Xmas week that was supposed to be all about the socks).
