U.F.O or W.I P?
When exactly does a ‘work in progress’ become an ‘unfinished object’? How about after 6 months without a new stitch? One lovely day about ten years from now this will be a Fyne vest.
Truth is, I’m finding fair isle knitting very hard. And I knit to relax. So there it sits. Just making me feel guilty.

I too love fairisle but need to concentrate so hard on it that it feels like work not pleasure. Perhaps just committing to one row a day would make some progress?

Cast off and turn it into a cushion.

I think it can remain a w.i.p for ten years…I often hear novelist and other artist talk about something they’ve been working on for the past ten to twenty years…so lets be generous with our stuff too!

Its beautiful and I can see why it is quite taxing! I think 6 months is a bit soon for it to be classed as a UFO! I like Evie’s idea of a row a day.

I had a WIP jumper for 10 years and eventually finished it.Luckily it still fitted my husband
and he wore it until it fell apart!
I took me so long because it was very fine yarn and I had to roll it into balls and then use at least 6 strands! So you’ll finish it some day.
