Alongs: To Participate or Not

So, I'm in a funk and haven't been doing anything interesting creatively (or even non-creatively).  I've been considering ways to regain my mojo and am thinking about "Alongs".   Now for those who don't do such things, alongs are organized (semi or completely) events where creative types work on a project simultaneously. Often there is a place where people participating track and discuss their progress, encourage and help each other out.

Right now two of my favourite knitting pattern designers are hosting Alongs. Thea Coleman of  Baby Cocktails is hosting the London Calling KAL . And Andi Satterlund of Untangling Knots along with Lauren of Lladybird are hosting The Outfit Along 2015 (knitting *and* sewing!).  Of course the these two things overlap, that's the way things go, no? 

So, is it crazy to consider doing both Alongs, which would mean knitting 2 cardigans and sewing a dress in the next two months, when I haven't been able to finish anything substantial in ages?  Is this the kick in the pants I need or is it compete and utter insanity?

I suspect insanity, but look, the dress, it's me no?

The version I like has sleeves, but that image wasn't available (of course).  McCall's 6887

And the coordinating cardi is perfect.

But just to complicate things, I also love this cardigan, I think it would look great over jeans or a cute summer skirt.

I have a little bit of time left to decide which way to jump, but I think I'm leaning towards yes to both.  I may have already found materials for all three of these projects.  And I may have already bought one of the patterns.
