I'm Sick of It!

Oh, you're not alone! I have a quilt I started a couple of years ago that I put back until I could get more material... and I have seven tea towels to embroider. I loved the pictures when I stamped them, but just can't get into embroidering them. I bought enough yarn to make my daughter in law a throw for Christmas and now I'm looking at it, going, "What was I ever thinking??" I don't want to start it, I want to knit socks! (I bought the sock yarn at the same time.)

I am in the same boat. I have a quilt that all the squares are finished but I have yet to put it together. I had made several quilts for my kids and had the best of intentions of doing this one for a granddaughter. It's still in the bag and that has been several years ago. I am not going to throw it out though. Maybe by the time she graduates in three years I'll have it done!

Yes I am like that! I usually plan my next project out while I am doing one and then always go and buy the wool for it. Of course once I buy my wool I immediately want to come home and start my new project rather than finish the other one first! So now I make sure that I complete one project before I start on another, I have a cupboard full of unfinished things, and it is doubtful that they will ever be completed!

well at least your still enthusiastic about it. when i used to do beadwork i was like that,then got a job, didnt have time and have lost the gumpshun to do it now that i dont work any more.

No your not alone on that. Me as well, I have blanket started for my son and I got so tired of looking at the same colors. That I started a different one finished that one and desided that I would finish his next no matter what. So this is what I did instead. Read a few books. LOL I will do his when it's gets cooler out. I started one years ago that I just found yesterday doing end of summer cleaning. In my old yarn. That one will take apart and make some thing else. I don't even talk to that person anymore. lol But I aways look at the yarn and if on sale I'm on it like white on rice. lol Read more of you later. Onlydia

I know the feeling and no you are not alone lol. When I start a project, knit or crochet, I say I am going to use these two yarns and stick with it. But then I get tired of doing the one project and then I would go put it down and see another cute project I found on the internet that I want to do. But then I remember I still had the one to finish. I currently got a scarf I was knitting in fun fur that has been collecting dust for the last few months due to work. I was working a temp assignment where the commute back and forth on public transportation took about hour to two hours. By the time I get home, I was exhausted and didn't want to do anything. So now I am looking for work again and have a little time now to go and finish knitting the scarf I started lol.

well I don't knit or anything like that, what I do is write, I love writing, but sometimes I get tired of that as well.

I do it all the time. I went to Michael's today to purchase a sage color yarn to finish a project I started. They did not have it so of course I had to pick a couple others that does match with what I have at home. Instead of coming home, and finishing all my UFO I am working on the new yarn. I love chocolate brown and turquoise combo.

I know what you mean! This is the exact reason I don't do a lot of knitting and I try so very hard to not accept custom knit orders. Most of my knitting is during my lunch hour at work. I'll often head out to my car, eat my salad and knit for the rest of my break... and then put it away until the next day. I might pick it back up while watching TV at night, but I'm often not in a rush to get back to my knitting. I even use jewelry making as an excuse to not have to knit. Of course, if I sell a few scarves at a craft show, somehow I find the inspiration to knit a little bit more. I can understand how you might want to start a new project, especially when the store is out of stock and it always makes it tough when you find a new color combo that you can't wait to start using.

ldyjarhead I just know that feeling.... l am stilling doing one that is dark green.and white. O.BOY. l hope to finish it soon. because l am always looking at other colours!!!!! to start a blanket. the colors you have they are great!!!! cd

I think all crafters have this problem. Unfortunately I have several crafts that I like to do, so it multiplies this even more. I have lots of unfinished projects around, I always say I'm going to finish them, but I get bored so easily.

Well, I am such a procratinator and perfectionist (lethal combination) that I hardly ever finish what I started. I am really good at beginning projects, but I almost never finish. I do get sick of it and I'm always looking for the next bigger and better thing. My house is filled with unfinished projects. Man, maybe I should do some of those instead of spending hours on the computer! Nah!!!

oh you are not alone I am working on 2 blankets for my nephews both of them are white/orange /blue let me tell you I am so sick of working with these colors it stinks but I also want to make one to post on etsy but will take a break & do another color before I go back to those colors have a good day

OIY! You are not alone. I've been crocheting since I was a little girl and sticking to one project is hard. I have two projects at my Mom's house, even. One is a simple baby blanket I can do while holding a conversation, watching a movie or whatever. The other is more complicated and is only for quiet time... ie..when my Mom is also crocheting. I have several projects going at home as well. And now with my first grandbaby on the way, it's about to get worse! LOL

lol I know what you mean I always want to start a new project before I finish the last one I am working on I am usually doing 2 projects at one time I do quiltting an learning plastic canvas right know

I'm just jealous that you can crochet and I can't. I really really wish I would have sat down with either of my grandmothers before they passed on to learn how to crochet as they both knew how. I'm sure they would've loved to teach me and I wouldn't want to learn from anyone else. I do have several afghans and comforters that both made for me as a remembrance of them. Neither of them lived close by as they were both out of state from where I grew up. There are so many things I would have liked to have learned from them, like cooking certain family favorites. My paternal grandmother made awesome cabbage rolls. My sister can cook them and I do have my grandmother's recipe. I helped her a few times in making them when I was really young, like 10 or 12 years old. Did you learn how to crochet and/or cook anything from your grandmothers? I do think you should try to finish your first project before starting another, but I do know how hard it is to try not to. Not in this particular type of project, but others. Good luck and I can't wait until you take a picture of what you are working on so we can all see it.

You're not alone! I do that ALL the time! My mind is racing with ideas once I'm in the store and looking at this stuff. I normally have at least 2 projects going at the same time. I'll get tired of working on one, start another and, before I'm finished with that, I'll start another! Let me see...yep, I have three projects going on right now... yarnwork projects. I have about 10 different projects going on in different media right now. I make jewelry, work in clay, knitting, crocheting and sewing. I almost always get around to finishing everything but I get bored so easily if a particular project takes too long to finish that I'll start another, then another, then another...

Hi, i knit to, i have a pillow im working on for my aunt, but im getting tired of looking at it so i had to take a little brake but im afraid a little brake has turned in to a long brake lol and plus i dont use the regular knitting methods other people use i knit with my fingers and i dont use needles and my fingers get really tird but yea i know what you mean.

I am doing that crochet before that i stop doing it, i feel i don't like it, coz everytime i do it, everythings went wrong, every yarn knot each other. and i'm tired of finding those colors of yarn you needed specailly when its out of stock.

I now have a huge box of yarn destined for Goodwill. All those started and not finished projects, scrap yarn and just excess in general. Or of course, there is all that yarn I've held onto for years. Going to start fresh. New yarn specifically for new projects. No more 'stash'. Maybe that will curb my ADD when it comes to not finishing what I start. Of course... there's that little matter of my bedroom closet... I'm quite sure I have more yarn stashed there I haven't gotten to yet. LOL
