    I locked myself in with my oldest WIPs, trapped with my UFOs! During a work trip I brought my most neglected projects along to see how many I could finish and vlogged along the way.
    As always, all info about yarns and patterns discussed available through my Ravelry projects page and stash, linked below!

    Maybe turn the not-enough-yarn cowl into a hat.

    I think I have multiple 10 year old WIPs. My shame is great. Thanks for the motivation to dig them out!

    What a clever video idea. I can't say I've seen a video like this before. 🌸 It's a great setting to work on the WIPs. I love the speckled yarn choice for the sweater.

    I'm so impressed that you finished the Primavera sweater 🤯

      I was never truly sure I would..... still haven't blocked it 😳

    Good for you! UFOs are such a pain, even when you wanted the FO lol

    That was either serious dedication or desperation! In any case, an awesome job.

    Wow! You must knit at lightening speed to get all that work done in such a short time.

    I love content like this. You could do a version with stash busting where you select a range of yarn and you're locked in until it's used up

      That's a good idea!

      @@the_copycat_stitch Its kinda what i've been doing. I have a small storage bin and any yarn from my stash that's kind of inspiring me but I don't know what to do with it I've been putting in there until its full. Then I can't get anything else from my stash (unless it completes a project) until I've worked through everything in the small tote. Makes it a bit easier because my stash is pretty overwhelming.

    If I may surgest, turn the Lexington cowl into a bag, by sowing closed the bottem and puting in a ziper and lining. You"ll get a great bag!

    This was so fun! Congrats on a finished sweater. There's nothing like the feeling of finishing something that's been dragging on.

    I did this on a cruise recently. It was 12 days long, and I brought a hand-sewing quilt that I hadn't worked on for ages. I got a lot of it done - though it's nowhere near finished yet - and it renewed my interest in the WIP.

    What an amazing idea! For me, the change in environment can also help motivate finishing up a languishing project. The sweater looks great.

    I’m so happy for you, what a great opportunity to reacquaint yourself with your languishing wips. Great idea too, thanks for sharing.

    This was a fun journey to take with you :) The satisfaction of finishing those old wips is something else!

    Nice job! I periodically do the same and its always so fulfilling to get so much done. When I got divorced, I only worked on old projects for MONTHS and I got so many things finished lol.

    I really liked this set-up!! :) Good job on finishing your sweater and making progress on the other UFOs! Did you end up casting off your cowl?

  • @EdenYell

    I would personally knit the cowl until yarn-end so that the remainder of the yarn does not stare at me and taunt me for not finishing it. That is also assuming it is not a suitable yarn to just throw in a sock as toes or heels or something
