Surprising as it may be, I actually don’t have a lot of WIPs stashed away all over the place. I used to get regular bouts of startitis, but having limited knitting time has curbed the urge to cast on several projects in a day. Well, that’s a lie. I still get the urge, but I don’t have the time to act on it. 
But even with raging startitis, any project that was left untouched on the needles for a fair length of time tended to be frogged because I usually wanted the needles for something else shiny that had caught my eye.
So it’s a rare project that’s left in my knitting bag for two years in the hope that it might eventually get finished.
And it’s two years to the day since I started the Goddess Knits Mystery Shawl. It got put aside for, in rough order: other major lace knitting, festive knitting and then baby knitting. And now there is just no way on earth it will ever get finished, I fear. It’s a beautiful pattern, very much choose-your-own-adventure with the different pattern choices for each section and I do want to knit it one day. But quite honestly, I am no longer in love with the bright red yarn or the complicated stitch pattern that I chose to do for the final section and it’s taking up a pair of splendid Addi Lace circulars which could be used for other knitting (eventually).
Dear readers, it’s time for me to muster up the courage, pull the needles from the hundreds of stitches and wind up several metres of skinny yarn.
