I have a huge stash of yarn – wool, cotton, acrylic, hemp, you get the idea. I also have many books and magazines and printouts of patterns that I have collected in the last 18 months or so. I also have numerous projects that I have started in the past 18 months, but that I never quite finished.
There are 3 95% completed newborn baby cardigans that I started last January, for Lara and Vicky’s babies (born in May and June 2009). There’s a hat for my sister Melissa that I started last February. There’s a scarf for my mother that I have started and ripped and restarted so many times I cannot count. There are 2 5% finished 6-month old baby cardigans that I started last fall to replace the ones I started last January, for Lara’s babies (who are now 8 months old). And many others.
I am thinking of taking the bull by the horns and digging out all my unfinished projects, laying them all out, photographing them all and then doing something about them. It’s time to admit that some projects are not destined to be completed, and those need to be ripped out. As for the rest of them, it’s time to buckle down and finish them off.
Wish me luck, and stay tuned for updates (with photos).

That sounds like a great idea. I have a 70% completed sweater in super awesome expensive yarn that I tried knitting for myself while pregnant. I'm really sad I didn't finish that one and I know I won't be able to pick it up again – I have no idea what I even did with the pattern. Plus, it was disgustingly full of mistakes. If I had more free time I would really have loved to be a part of a knitting club. Oh well. Maybe one day
He he….this sounds like me. I have many different crafts that are started and as of yet incomplete. But mine are all different types of projects….sewing, embroidery, crocheting, painting, scrapbooking, beading……But I have the greatest intentions!
