Ok honesty time here. I am putting my marriage on the line for this blog post but I feel that it is my public duty. I am going to liberate all you closet project dumpers right now. I pulled out only a few of the projects that are dumped in my basement. These aren't projects that I pretend that I will someday finish. They are dumped for good. Either I wasn't having fun making them or they didn't behave or I just felt like dumping them. Need I say more? You all understand. Don't pretend like you don't. I know that you new knitters still fool yourself into thinking that you WILL finish it. You won't. Don't bother pretending,
Here are the bad puppies:
And perhaps this was the baddest of them all.
I started it in the late 80's sometime. Could have been early 90's. The name of this sweater is "The Foolish Virgins". I could have finished it but why? I started, I conquered, I got bored. I saw on some knit list that people actually have finished this one. Well, I have to say that my intentions were good. It is just something that goes snafu with my interest level.
Mr. Yarn? You still there?

Hi My Name is Michelle and I am a knit project dumper.
*sips coffee, sits down*
Welcome Michelle,
It is not your fault. We are all here with you.
Yeah, I'm thinking that first sweater I started is destined to be dumped. I caught myself thinking last night about what else I could use the yarn for. To the frog pond, away! =)
Reclaim that there yarn!! That way those durn projects won't mock you (and Mr. Yarn can't point to unfinished projects, he can only point to unused stash!)
Naw, I don't have the heart to rip out that stuff. I actually keep it around to remind me of my life at the time I was making it. All of it has memories. Sick, I know. It is a swatch scrap book. I am more likely to sew it all together and make a quilt out of it.
oooooh, that's a LOVELY idea!!
Hi Janice
Donna from Livermore here.
Hey I love that sweater and was just saying the other day how I would love to have one. That would not be a pretty picture on me!!!
I do think it would make a great chair cover.
Hope all is well.
Counting the days till I go to Washington with Gail.
