Seeing something through to the end

I am notorious for starting projects and not finishing them. Not because they become too difficult or I reach a boredom threshold but, like a magpie with a shiny penny, another project catches my attention and off I go in a new direction.

The lovely baby alpaca wool throw I started knitting three years ago is a case in point. But today I found a renewed determination to finish it. The wool is so soft and wonderful for a chilly night that it would be a shame to leave it loitering in a carrier bag for yet another winter. And let's not forget all the hours I have spent over the three years knitting long row after long row!

So I am 27 balls of wool down. 13 to go and counting...

It will be done...
