They took me a year!
At last some completed knitting projects! Both, I'm ashamed to say, were started in January 2018 and both were just finished yesterday - a whole year later!
First my pink, grey and black scarf which I started last January to go with a lovely pink winter jacket which had been my Christmas present. I had hardly done any of it before I abandoned it to the work bag. However, taking it up again started my renewed pleasure in knitting and I'm glad I got around to finishing it.
The second abandoned project which I found in my knitting bag was half a tea cosy! Lots of shades of green to used to make this. Didn't take long to complete the other half. Have you spotted that it does not yet have a pom-pom? I've misplaced my pom-pom maker, so may have to go back to the old fashioned way of making pom-poms - two circles cut out of cardboard - remember doing that?
It is very satisfying to complete projects, especially when they have been waiting around for ages to be finished. Have you got any unfinished work that has been languishing for a while?
Love, Liz

Promised a "Glasgow Rose Stole" to my son's bride. Have until September to finish it! It's a bit challenging but I'm getting there.
Then there is a jacket/cardigan I promised the same woman for Christmas. Lost my knitting mojo when it got too hot to handle the heavy weight of it.
The road to hell is lined with knitting bags filled with half finished work.
Love the tea cosy .
