Inspired by the other WIP post!

Mine (re discovered a few years ago in a big chest we hardly ever open) was a cardigan I’d started for a dd when she was maybe 7. By the time of re-discovery she was at least 30 years older!
However some of the yarn once unravelled (shaded multicoloured pastels) made some nice doll’s clothes and blanket for a little Gdd.
I’ve still got some of it, though, still waiting to be turned into something useful.

My paternal Grandma gave me a half embroidered table cloth to finish when I started senior school, it is still unfinished and languishing in the loft.

Oh dear, where to start?!
I knit and crochet and recently had a drive to finish off WIPs so that slate is clear.

I did try cross-stitch and was much too ambitious for a beginner. Therefore I have a beautiful Celtic knotwork bookmark 'in progress'. I put it to one side while I did some practise pieces - but the tiny Christmas card started at least 10 years ago is still unfinished. One day......!
