We will finish no project before its time.....

 

These socks....I finished them last night.   Started them?   I do not remember but suspect it is at least four years ago.   

My apartment is infested with unfinished pairs of socks.   One of my promises to myself is that I will slowly work on them...finish them...and wear them or give them away.   

How do these projects achieve "I will finish it.....someday" status?   Various reasons.....something became annoying about the project, some new and shinier project appeared, a gift project popped up...none are good.  It is easy to push something into the stash and walk away.  Eventually the unfinished projects become a stash in and of themselves.

This is really okay.  If a project that is not on a gift or other deadline becomes a chore, it is best to put it aside instead of knitting resentment into the stitches.   The project will be finished in its time.
