I have one unfinished knitted projects its a pillow that I'm making for my aunt, but I haven't finished it yet, because I keep getting side tracked with other things, and I haven't been getting that much sleep lately, so Iv been putting it off for a while, and so today I decided to start working on it again, as some of you might know I taught myself how to knit without using needles and I have to be in the right frame of mind and mood to knit, but once I get started I'm totally into it, and after I'm finished with the pillow my aunt wants me to make a blanket for her bed, I'm looking forward to that project.
So tell me do you have any unfinished knitting projects?

I don't knit, so, no, I don't. I lways wanted to learn to knit though. I tried before but the blanket I tried to make was more like a triangle then a rectangle.

Like any skill it does take a little bit of practice, but I bet if you tried again you'd find you are already better than you remember, its always good to let a skill sink in then come back to it :)

lol I always have at least a dozen projects going on all at once for one reason or another.
Sometimes I'll start birthday present only to get half way through and get ill and have to stop, put the item away only to forget it for a few yrs.
Just the other day I sourced out 17 unfinished items which some I started over ten yrs ago, thats sad. Well Im proud to say Im now down to 8 unfinished and should hopefully have another 2 finished this evening, its so good to know theyve finally being done :o)

Sadly I have a lot of unfinished projects. Mostly these are things I intend to knit for myself, and as soon as I get them started something that needs knitting for someone else sneaks in and gets in the way. One day I will have time to knit for myself.

yes i do still have unfinished knitting projects i have been working on a sweater for over two years now (believe it or not) and i have been working on the same blanket for about six months now i has taken me so long to finish them because like you i just keep getting side tracked with other things in my life and it is also very hard for me to get myself motivated most of the time but now that it is getting colder weather and there is not much that i can do outside i will probably have more time to knit

LOL! Hi apples99 -- I have several unfinished knitting projects, like you I get side tracked with daily stuff and the next thing you know my motivation evaporates, and I am onto other hobbies and projects, until my motivation wanes with them and sometimes not all the time, but sometimes instead of picking up the unfinished work, I just start a new one. I am trying to be better about finishing my projects, but it must be a "flaw" because the harder I try, the behinder I get! LOL! Happy Knitting and Happy Posting, be happy, be joyful, be safe, be strong! oohcute2340
