How to make my husband a sweater
It made me
Happy and relieved 
"I started with big ambitions, and often got sidetracked - were I to do it again, I'd plow right through."
How I did it: After realizing this project was bigger than I thought, I found it most useful to set a goal of working on it every day. Even so, it required patience and fortitude I didn't know I had in me.
Lessons & tips: Choose your pattern carefully; the cardigan I made suits my husband, but now I know there are other styles of sweater he might find even more appropriate.
Just knit the darn thing: you can only (literally) knit one project at a time, so keep in mind that every project you start to take a break from your big project is *keeping you from finishing*. The sweater got too big to carry around, so I did have other projects, but sticking to one big knitting task when I was at home really paid off.
