I have some decisions to make.
There are 15 unfinished projects on my needles and hooks (that I’ve found so far – I’m not ruling out finding more lieing around.)
Of those just one has a legitimate reason for being unfinished. I ran out of yarn and am waiting for some more to arrive. That’s my wibbly wobbly shawl.
All the rest? Either I’ve gotten bored, haven’t felt like it, didn’t really like the way it was knitting up, or simply forgot about them when something newer and shinier came around.
Which is why I’m making some decisions. Frog or finish.
By the end of the year there will only be 5 unfinished objects on my needles. And hopefully not ones that are currently unfinished which will have the added bonus of making my area of the couch a little more tiny!
Oh and I’ve just spotted a blanket which still needs ends weaving in :S
There’s 3 hats, only one of which where I think the pattern suits the yarn.
3 pairs of socks. One I love, one I don’t remember what the pattern is, and one I stole the needles for another pattern and don’t remember what size they were.
I don’t know what I was thinking when I cast on a lace scarf in cotton. It hurts my hands, I can’t seem to memorise the pattern, and don’t have the inclination to look at a pattern every row for however long this scarf should be.
Drunk Bek got her hands on the slipped stitch shawl and didn’t do a good job! I also don’t think any pattern will be good enough for this yarn. It’s so pretty and vibrant maybe I’ll just keep it on the shelf and pet it occasionally.
I do love Olivia.
I just haven’t knit any rows on it for a while and I don’t know why. The yarn is lovely and the pattern is well written. It’s just been forgotten and left to languish.
Then there are the blankets. I’m waiting for winter to come around again. A blanket on your legs is quite uncomfortable in 40degree heat.
Not pictured is the granny square blanket. I really dislike the way the squares are joined so it’s in the naughty basket until I can make a decision about it.
Also not pictured is my 5th doctor shawl which is in my bag all the way over there. I have no problems with finishing that one. It gets pulled out at the cricket, and the doctors, and whenever I’m waiting for the train.
So that’s going to be my focus.
No casting on anything new until I’m down to 5 UFOs.
Let’s see how I go!
polka-dots & sparkles 
Blankets don’t count.
As for the rest, you don’t love it than frog it. Life is too short of unhappy knitting.
For! For unhappy knitting.
It’s best to frog projects that you don’t love. You can reclaim the yarn and then there’s one less UFO lying stupid. And, it frees up those needles. 🙂
“Lying around” not “lying stupid”. Lol. Swype failed me on that sentence! 🙂
I am with the above. If you re read this post i think it is really clear which projects to keep and which to ditch. Be brave. Be ruthless. I am sure you will feel great once you have frogged. 😊
You have such pretty yarns! I really love that multi-coloured hat WIP!
Gah, I’ve never had that many projects going at once! You always have the prettiest yarns.
I wonder if I should start to have more than one project going at a wack, though- I’m a ‘bitter-ender,’ meaning I won’t start a new project till I finish my old one. Often means I lose interest in a project but won’t let myself start a new one to get re-inspired. Time to chance my ways?
