I want to make myself a scarf and treat it as importantly as I do projects I make for others. I tend to think I’m not as important and procrastinate too much.
How to finish a knitting project
It made me 
"Oy, I'm slow"
How I did it: I made a scarf for my sister, and then she moved to another country, and then I went to visit her. Guess I needed a little incentive to start working on it again. That was enough! It came out quite lovely! Suppose it should have after all that time. ;o) Now I'm excited to start something else that hopefully won't take so long.
Lessons & tips: Don't be afraid to mess up, just make sure you are using a yarn that you can see it on or have someone who can fix things for you. I used eyelash yarn, not recommended for a first time project!

My skirt
19 months ago
I’m knitting a skirt in stockinette stitch, on very small needles. It’s taking forever!
Tablerunner and placemats
21 months ago
I bought a TON of cotton yarn to knit dishcloths, much more than I needed because I am compulsive. I started knitting placemats and a table runner using the cotton yarn but haven’t worked on the project for months. I could really use those things…my goal is to finish the tablerunner by the end of February, 2008. You are my witnesses!
Scarf
22 months ago
I have a few I could pick from, but I think I’ll start with the scarf I promised my sister for her birthday (and not her last birthday). No more worrying about absolutely perfect rows or worrying that I can’t finish it off. I can learn to finish it off and I made the scarf with feathery yarn so you can’t see if the rows are perfect!
Time to step up to the plate

It seems that time flys by while you are doing…...Nothing!
I promised to knit winter caps, scarves, and mittens for some
underprivilaged Native American kids near Mammoth Lakes. They are due sometime in November. Is it only me, or is a deadline staring you straight in the face the only thing that will get you focused enough to face the task at hand?

Is there a support group for people like me?

Done!

Almost exactly one year after I revived my long-time knitting project, my sweater is finally done. I’d forgotten it at my parents’ place, so it waited there for quite some time. Mom still can’t believe I pulled off that spiral-y pattern. :)
I’m knitting a scarf now. No fancy patterns, no adding and substracting, just knit-purl-knit-purl over and over again. It makes watching TV more interesting. :D
Knitting progress is good.

I manage to knit at least one line a night. I find it quieting to have a little time to myself right before going to bed. I can let my thoughts wander while my hands are busy clicking away (though slowly).
