How many do you have?
I have just packed away an unfinished patchwork quilt top. It started off well but I just got sick of it.

A cross stitch I started 30yrs ago!

I dyed the aida a seagreen and its a scene with creek, bridge and lots of flowers/shrubbery. I finished the actual cross stitch- but never got around to the bordering lines which were needed to add definititon!

None for ages, but several in the past. Worst was a long black knitted cardigan/jacket I was making for a DSis. But there was a ribbed border all round, that involved ‘pick up and knit’ hundreds of stitches up L side, round neck, down R side - I just could not see to pick up the bloody little black things correctly - ended up binning the whole thing. Luckily it was relatively cheap acrylic yarn.

Many years previously there was a pastel multicoloured cardigan I was making for a dd, then about 7, and somehow never finished it.
30 odd years later (!) the yarn made doll’s clothes and blankets for a little Gdd.
