I imagine I&#8217;ll be done with the back and started on the front by the end of the weekend.  I guess it&#8217;s maybe time to pick up the two stalled knitting projects that I hadn&#8217;t finished because I thought knitting was a very slow process.  Of course, I&#8217;ve been knitting to the exclusion of all else &#8211; I&#8217;ve only appliqued a couple of small pieces in <a href=\"\/crafts.shtml?quilt\">the quilt<\/a>, and my house is a bit of a mess&#8230;  But, I have to take full advantage of the enthusiasm I have at the beginning of a project.  If I can get at least 3\/4 of the way done before I start to get bored, the momentum just takes it the rest of the way.  Otherwise, the project ends up in my half-finished crafts pile.

There are even a couple in there that I don&#8217;t like anymore because my tastes have changed, or because I started them when I didn&#8217;t really know what I was doing and they look awful.
