Probably not...
However, I find there is something deeply disturbing about unfinished projects and also about other unfinished things in our lives. It's like we have been programmed to finish everything we start (it reminds me an often heard sentence from my childhood days: "You can't leave this table until you finish this soup!".
Unfinished projects are piling up in the back of our minds, constantly seeking attention and reminding us of our duty, it's like they are calling us constantly in deep scary voices "FINISH MEEEE.. FINISH MEEEE... FINISH MEEE.....(or else "You can't go and play!" or better to say now "You cannot start any other project until you complete all the unfinished ones!").
As far as I am concerned, unfinished projects bother me deeply. They are like broken relationships that we did not know how to fix and that ended without a proper closure.
I have a few unfinished ones (my daughter's cardigan that I tried to refashion from a too tight by-my-sister-handknitted sweater, a round crochted rug for my bathroom and my first ever crochet project - a large granny squares afghan).
The last one is still kept under my bed, like a secret skeleton, and is knocking almost every day on the doors of my has-to-finish-everything-too-responsible-like conscience...
What shall I do with it?
PS. The dark pink yarn has been discontinued...and I have no more!
