Sweet Merciful Bob in Knitpicks

So, I've counted my UFOs, in preparation for February is For Finishing.

People, I need some sort of intervention.

Please excuse the crappy picture, there's no light in my room.

I am starting this process with 25 UFOs to my name. TWENTY. FIVE. Many of these have appeared in previous years' lists, and some of them were on the FIRST list, back in 2005. Which is ridiculous. Something needs to be done.

(I swear I do finish things. Honest.)

So, on to the actual list.

1. Halloween/Samhain Mystery Shawl
2. Red Heart Afghan, started in the early 00's
3. Ab-Fab Afghan
4. Winter Marigold (current sock club sock)
5. Dr. Who Scarf
6. Arabella
7. Blue Triangle Headscarf
8. Flamin' Fingerless gloves
9. Wee Toe of a Sock
10. Socks that Wanted to Be Mittens Instead
11. Water Shawl
12. "Blue" Kerry Shawl/Blanket
13. Mandala Shawl
14. Mystery Swan Lake Stole
15. Soleil
16. Cheeto Socks (Gentleman's Fancy by Nancy Bush)
17. Clapotis
18. Amelia Cardigan
19. BSJ (Baby Surprise Jacket, not Bloody Stupid Johnson)
20. Pink and Grey Stripedy Socks
21. Sooper Sekrit Surprise Projeck
22. Checkerboard Twist Socks
23. Eala
24. Watergarden Cardigan
25. Awkward Red Thing

Many of these projects are not long for this world. At least two are very nearly done (Eala just needs blocking, and the Blue Headscarf just needs a tie and binding off). I'm past the heel on my second Sock Club sock (go me!)... so it won't be quite as bad as TWENTY. FIVE. by the time February actually starts. I actually frogged two shawls this morning, because I knew that I didn't want to finish them.

So, once things are Frogged and Flung, the list is a little more manageable.

1. Ab-Fab Afghan
2. Winter Marigold (current sock club sock)
3. Dr. Who Scarf
4. Arabella
5. Blue Triangle Headscarf
6. Flamin' Fingerless gloves
7. Wee Toe of a Sock
8. Socks that Wanted to Be Mittens Instead
9. "Blue" Kerry Shawl/Blanket
10. Cheeto Socks (Gentleman's Fancy by Nancy Bush)
11. Clapotis
12. Amelia Cardigan
13. BSJ (Baby Surprise Jacket, not Bloody Stupid Johnson)
14. Pink and Grey Stripedy Socks
15. Sooper Sekrit Surprise Projeck
16. Checkerboard Twist Socks
17. Eala
18. Watergarden Cardigan

The Bloody Stupid Johnson Baby Surprise Jacket may yet get ripped, and so might the "Blue" Kerry Shawl.

Good gravy, that is still a lot of stuff. Now I just need a strategy.
