The Ugly Truth About the UFO situation

So, I bit the bullet and rounded up all of my knitterly UFOs, in order to begin preparations for "February is For Finishing." After piling 19 (yes, that's as in "Nineteen") projects on my bed, many begun over 2 years ago, I considered renaming the month "February is for Quitters who hide under their beds rather than face up to three years of accumulated unfinished crap"—but really, that's too long and not at all catchy.



After ruthless consideration, I've frogged and flung my way down to 8 projects that I intend to finish. At least three of them are major, large scale projects. And whose stupid idea was this anyway?

February is For Finishing:

• Rhiannon's Lion Brand Magic Stripe socks (in the purple colorway)
  
• Mystery Shawl 2 (I have swatched....that's like starting, only swatchier)
• The Kerry Shawl from Waterman's Traditional Knitted Lace Shawls
• Morgan's Lion Brand Cotton-Ease Heart Cardie
• Branching Out scarf bag (there's a story behind this, I'll tell it another day)
• My Luster Sheen Tank Top
• "Another Turn" poncho from Knitters 78 in Red Heart Symphony
• Colinette Ab-Fab throw kit in the Antique colorway

The two shawls, the afghan and the poncho are each more than enough to be going on with. February isn't 'til tomorrow and I'm already feeling the onset of panic. Dude. There ain't no way.
