Mine was the long black jacket I was knitting for a sister in the US, after she’d looked for similar while here, and had failed to find what she wanted.

I knitted the whole wretched thing - except for the ‘pick up and knit’ band all up one side, round the neck, and down the other.

Tried and tried, just could not manage it - even worse with black yarn, so hard to see the stitches.
Eventually gave up.
Luckily it was relatively cheap acrylic yarn - had to be easily washable since DSis puts just about everything in the tumble drier.

How long since you started it, Itsawelshthing? We need to know! I think BlueSapphire is the winner so far - 40 years - can anyone beat that?

A few of us, Witzend!

But kathyd is in a league of her own. grin

I might be able to beat all of you. I started a white lawn pintucked and embroidered christening gown, underslip, bib and bonnet for my pregnant friend 62 years ago. I still have it half finished and WILL finish it!

Inspired by your thread, witzend, several years later, I've just completed 1 UFO. Thursday I'll start another.

Rosiestocks and Callistemon, I dare say the main reason I don’t have unfinished N things, is because we have a very small garden and I would rather do absolutely anything rather than housework!

Witzend we do have quite a large garden but it does need some TLC at the moment too.

I give in if they get to double bed size, itsawelshthing.
