This is a project I finished back in 2006 called Clapotis.  It's by far my favorite pattern and so far I've made 3, but none for me (this one was for mom).  In fact, I don't knit much for myself at all.  That's probably because I'm sick of the clutter around here and don't need to add more to the piles. Also because I'm not very exciting when it comes to colors (I prefer my knitware in blacks/grays/whites) so knitting for others allows me to be more colorful. 

Why is this particular project significant?  Well, because it's finished.  Also, I really dig the photo.

It feels great to get the needles moving again but it reminds me of how incredibly impatient I am.  I love little projects because I can finish them in a day, but big projects allow me to get distracted half way through.  It's not that I don't appreciate the process, it's more that knitting  tends to be insta-inspiring and so I start to think about all the other fun stuff I could be working on.  If only I had another set of hands. 

Next thing you know I have 10 WIPs sitting in the basket and only a few will move on to become America's Next Top Model.  Wait... what? 

Anyhow, I've made a small pact with myself.  Finish everything that's been sitting in the basket all this time and then I can start anew.  No yarn buying until I'm done, I can't afford it anyway. 

Also, I just realized that all unfinished projects are the ones I start for myself. 

Interesting.
