Sad to say ninelives I do. I have an absolute trail of devastation behind me of half knitted and sewn dolls clothes, a half finished dolls house awaiting the happy day when I can afford to finish it off, and a stash of greetings cards needing innards. A round tuit is what I need to help me get on with it! But I think you have the record here with a 38 year old baby's jumper! That's going to be one big baby by now! But what a golden opportunity now to get on and finish these projects! Have fun!😃

I really should do a good enough.

Such happy memories of being pregnant on nights working as a midwife.But have a confession

Pregnant with first child knitted both sleeves of jumper didn't finish it.

Pregnant with second child did front panel didn't finish it

Pregnant with 3 rd child did back panel and yes you have guessed it didn't finish it!

The cross stitch is from 4 weeks in hospital on respiratory unit,amazing care

So had better get started -once I find my glasses.....

Nothing unfinished for me apart from it's probably about time I got a jigsaw out.

When I broke my leg 17 years ago my daughter gave me a cross stitch kit, and when I finished it in record time she bought me a very large one. Fortunately my leg mended and the cross stitch kit was put away. I'm glad you reminded me, this is the ideal time to get on with it.

We may be being a little bit ambitious here, as I'm 77 now, and already have a large very difficult jigsaw on the table, plus an almost finished scarf I started in Feb, a half done Aran cushion cover and lots of crocheted squares waiting to be joined together to make an Afghan throw. Maybe the lock-down won't be long enough, here's hoping!!!

Well pick one.....maybe easiest and get that done. And hopefully won't be long enough to get them all done

I'm pushing ahead with the jigsaw, so my husband can use the table for another one, and knitting away at the scarf as I watch TV. The other things will take more concentration and determination, but wish me luck!

When you write a new post at bottom of 'box' you will see it says add pictures click on that go to where picture saved click on that and it will upload, occasionally I've found have to do it twice before works so don't worry if doesn't work first time. You can only add pics in a new post not within a post for example I can't show you my blackwork here would have to be a new post.

Hope this helps

I keep unraveling half finished knitted projects so that I can reuse the wool for knitted toys. My latest obsession 😂

I too am in the process of finishing my orphan projects. I live in USA in a virus hot spot. With our President at the helm it seems it will go on forever. Praying my AF stays in control and no visits to the ER are necessary. Finishing projects helps with my anxiety. I watch old sitcoms I never had time for when I was working. Streaming is a God send. Made a list of the projects and I knit and crochet away. This site has a wealth of info for me and I don't feel so alone. Life is possible after diagnosis. Scary for me at first. Ablation doesn't seem as common here. Not a candidate they say.Thanks so much for everyone who posts. Have learned so much and I ask the Dr for more complete answers.When he asked where all these questions were coming from I told him "You hear things"

My friend was due to have ablation done this week but cancelled hoping she doesn't have to wait too long. Hope you get some joy with your treatment
