The Courage to Count

At one time, I had quite a few things lingering on the needles, but I tamed the situation. And by "tamed" I mean "gave up and ripped out". After receiving Knitting Daily's email poll about unfinished projects, I decided to do an inventory of what is still lingering on the needles and the almost finished projects as well. And while I am exposing myself for the knitting slacker that I am, I tossed in a small list of the projects that have been in my queue to knit for eons.

WIPs
Tubey has been marinating since July 2006.

Bella's one row striping looks like a dog's dinner at the seams. I'm waiting for the knitting pixies to fix this while I sleep.

Frilly Milly (aka Rebecca Silk Sweater with Frills) is awaiting trial.

Beryl and I started our love affair October 13, 2007. It's slow but good.

NEARLY THERE
Tank with 3-D Crochet Embellishments (Knitting Lingerie Style)
One round of single crochet around the armholes would make this wearable.
Making the 3-D crochet embellishments would make it 100% complete.

Basic Camisole (Knitting Lingerie Style)

IN THE QUEUE?
The 20 balls of Filatura di Crosa Elena for the Corset Pullover have become a souvenir of my first trip to Webs. I am second-guessing if this pattern is really "me".

The Cabaret Raglan is a cautionary tale of buying sale yarn for a project and waiting too long to cast on. After nearly two years, I have fallen out of love with the color (pewter) of Lang Viva I bought for this.

Pinup Queen is probably a perfect pattern for me, but I cannot seem to find a suitable yarn. Angora and I do not mix and mingle well.

What about you...do you have the courage to count?
