...and I am insane.

I think I've found my next big craft project:

Tablecloth II - This time it's crochet....

*cough*

Of course, I've still got the tube map (half-completed photos to follow), the christmas present shawl, the peacock buffet scarf (don't ask) and the cluster stitch doily to finish.

And that's not including the bag that needs sewing up, the two tapestry cushions that just need a back, the crochet cushion that's missing one square, the other Christmas shawl that's missing forty tassels, the pair of socks (minus about ten rounds), the top that requires the ends weaving in (and me to lose two stone in order to wear) and the many Christmas cards that have been stitched and/or crocheted, but have yet to actually become 'card' shaped.

I think I have completion problems...

(And yes, if I can get any of them finished, some of these *will* make it into folk's stockings. If you see what I mean...)

*snigger*

I've been having withdrawal symptoms all weekend due to not being able to continue with my latest project (left it at home...)

OH GOD KNIT-CRO-SHEEN I AM HAVING SO MANY FLASHBACKS THAT ARE BAD, BAD, BAAAAAD. D:

*coughs*

But now you see why I usually do smaller projects! XD I too have completion problems, but they're far more likely to rear their heads when I've got an excessive amount of finishing to do (which is why although I really REALLY want to try knitting jumpers in circular using the steeking method, I'm a bit scared too because it'll involve weaving in a lot of ends and I hate hate HATE doing that with a passion).

Hence, I think, why I knit a lot in the round. XDXD Usually less sloppy, except now that I'm experimenting with colourwork, well, obviously YMMV. XD;;;;

Ahem. Unrelatedly (or possibly relatedly, since you do have to look down to knit), you may wish to have a look at what I just posted. Am curious to hear what you have to say, oh mistress of the pint trick. XDXD

I've never met cro-sheen in the flesh, so to speak, but even the name sounds tacky!!!

(And steeking? *shudders* There's one technique I'm never going to master...)

And yes, I couldn't comment on your post, but the answer is most definitely. I'll look down sometimes and there they are!

It's 75" diameter. That's, uh, just over six foot. So, yeah. Big enough.
