Have you ever started a project and just gotten stuck? My family sometimes complains because I usually have more than one project on the go, and the ones that frustrate me are the ones that get ignored, or just accumulate dust in in a closet or drawer.
Every once in a while, I will pull one of these long ignored projects out of the closet and try to have a month of project completions. In the frenzy of the approach to Christmas, I am usually trying to complete Christmas gifts. After Christmas, there is usually the thrill of learning something new, or a big new project to begin. So I just have to force myself to get one thing completed. This year, my husband gave me a weaving loom for Christmas. I put it all together, but once together, I figured I had better get a few other things done first, before I got involved in a new hobby. So, I took 4 days and completed the cabinet I was refinishing. The Icelandic cardigan I started last summer is at the top of the work basket, and now I can take the time to figure out the pattern. Soon, I will begin the design and knitting of a new sweater pattern for Near North. I have had the pattern in mind for months, but have not yet figured out the scale of the design or the wool colours I will need. Then, I will allow myself to begging to dabble in the weaving. I thought getting things done in retirement would be easy. Not so much! What is your next project you would like to finish?
