Who cares how many WIPs (work in progress) they have going when there are cool new patterns to fall in love with and yarn to buy? Priorities, you know.
I found a lovely pattern called Bounce from Tin Can Knits. It is for a baby afghan but I couldn’t resist. I did a little math to make it full size, bought the yarn and, just over a month later, I have a beautiful afghan for my son and daughter-in-law. They are getting ready to move into a new home and this will make a wonderful housewarming gift. My mother said it makes her think of an ebb tide.
So, I ask you, why worry about WIPs when there are so many wonderful patterns and yarns out there?

very nice – and amazing how fast you did it!
I was surprised how quickly I finished it. (I crocheted an afghan that took me a total of ten years once, that was amazing because I still had the pattern and enough yarn after letting it sit for such a long time!)
