I've mentioned before that I have a problem finishing projects that I start. I can't tell if it's getting worse or better since I started this blog. I spend more time working on crafts, but once the excitement of a new project wears off, I get bored with it and start a new one. Then, I don't want to post about something until it's finished, so I eventually finish it up and write about it several months later. In order to embrace this habit, I've added a "WIP" list over on the left. Right now, it doesn't look very bad - only 5 projects. However, I'm pretty sure I've forgotten several.
I recently thought that I had all of my sewing projects organized in the basement. I went upstairs to search the last place anything could be, and I found a backpack with two partially completed scarves from several years ago when I taught myself how to knit. I started out with one skein of yarn. When I got to the end of it, rather than learn how to join another piece of yarn or finish off the scarf (simple concepts, I've since learned), I apparently went out and bought a new skein and started completely over. I even bought a new pair of knitting needles. At least they were a different size. I unravelled both of these scarves because I don't like the colors anymore, so maybe I'll start something else with them.
So let's see what happens when I have a list displayed publicly to the Internet. My guess is it will get embarrassingly long and then I'll remove it.
