Spring cleaning is underway early this year here in the Philistine crafting household! Having taken stock of my vast numbers unfinished knitting projects, I have decided to dedicate the entire year of 2009 to finishing as many WIPs as I possibly can without beginning any new projects. This is going to take some extreme dedication on my part, as there are many, many new patterns + yarns out there that are siren-singing my name. That is not to say that I won’t start *any* new projects this year–claiming that entirely would be an impossibility–I can start new projects, but I have to commit to finishing those new projects this year and can’t let new WIPs languish.

And so Project WIPs-to-FOs commences! But first things first, I have been trying to get an accurate count on just how many WIPs I have that need finishing . . . and yes. The “have been trying” should be a clear indicator to you all just how dire the situation is. Just when I think I have them all accounted for, I find another something-or-other that I have totally forgotten about. Eeek!

According to my Ravelry projects page, I currently have 45 (!!!!) WIPs. But, oh dear friends, if only that were everything I actually needed to finish. I’m afraid there is more . . .

But I am nonetheless ready to get cleaning out the ol’ Rav closet and get some FOs brewin’ for 2009! So happy belated New Year, everyone, and get ready to see those FOs go marching across your screen! And hopefully Project WIPs-to-FOs will encourage me to blog more frequently in the coming months, as well!
