LOCKING MYSELF IN until KNITTING is FINISHED - Oldest WIP Lock-in Vlog, All my Unfinished Projects

#knitting #yarn #WIP #finishing
I locked myself in with my oldest WIPs, trapped with my UFOs! During a work trip I brought my most neglected projects along to see how many I could finish and vlogged along the way.
As always, all info about yarns and patterns discussed available through my Ravelry projects page and stash, linked below!

    What a clever video idea. I can't say I've seen a video like this before. 🌸 It's a great setting to work on the WIPs. I love the speckled yarn choice for the sweater.

    That was either serious dedication or desperation! In any case, an awesome job.

    I love content like this. You could do a version with stash busting where you select a range of yarn and you're locked in until it's used up

    @@the_copycat_stitch Its kinda what i've been doing. I have a small storage bin and any yarn from my stash that's kind of inspiring me but I don't know what to do with it I've been putting in there until its full. Then I can't get anything else from my stash (unless it completes a project) until I've worked through everything in the small tote. Makes it a bit easier because my stash is pretty overwhelming.

    Maybe turn the not-enough-yarn cowl into a hat.

    Wow! You must knit at lightening speed to get all that work done in such a short time.

    If I may surgest, turn the Lexington cowl into a bag, by sowing closed the bottem and puting in a ziper and lining. You"ll get a great bag!

    This was so fun! Congrats on a finished sweater. There's nothing like the feeling of finishing something that's been dragging on.

    What an amazing idea! For me, the change in environment can also help motivate finishing up a languishing project. The sweater looks great.

    I did this on a cruise recently. It was 12 days long, and I brought a hand-sewing quilt that I hadn't worked on for ages. I got a lot of it done - though it's nowhere near finished yet - and it renewed my interest in the WIP.

    I would personally knit the cowl until yarn-end so that the remainder of the yarn does not stare at me and taunt me for not finishing it. That is also assuming it is not a suitable yarn to just throw in a sock as toes or heels or something

    I really liked this set-up!! :) Good job on finishing your sweater and making progress on the other UFOs! Did you end up casting off your cowl?
