Fledglings flying through craft stash in 2018

Since I joined the fledglings thread I noticed quite a few people have and find de-cluttering craft stashes difficult. Lots of crafters have half finished projects lying around creating more clutter.I'm very guilty of this.
So I have started my first thread.

The idea will be that you pick up one of those projects and complete within a month. Those that are clever( not me) can post a photo of the result on this thread for the rest of us to admire.
Also those new to a craft can ask advice of those experienced crafters. You can also post about organising and decluttering your craft area.
So crafty fledglings I'll start off.

I bought some wool from Yorkshire because I saw it in the window in Leyburn and had to have it. It was in June. So I started it on Jan1 and I am knitting( slowly) a snood. I aim to have it finished by the 31st Jan, 2018 😁
What is your pledge?

Went to Embroiderer's Guild meeting. Ended up giving advice to someone about course list and showed my sketch book which I happened to have in the car. Did a bit of stitching and received advice about needlepoint. Learnt a lot about some members. They chat as much as they stitch there. Some very interesting retired ladies with careers in teaching sewing, crafts etc.
must complete work.
Need to plan a project for local exhibition. They were very encouraging to new members about putting work in. Good to hear as I once went to join a Sugarcraft Guild but as the talk about Birmingham ensued they were going to pick from submitted work. A very split camp that day about that idea and my friend and I left without joining.

WIP remain as were, not really dwindling as got sidetracked into knitting jacket for a new baby or two 😊, Ho hum......
The garden's taking priority as quite frankly it was a mess, so I've been radically sorting it out and can barely move I'm so stiff!
I've joined a local knitting club, which is great fun, but more nattering than progress I'm afraid!
I've had to stop attempting sick knitting because the thin needles played havoc with my fingers 😢, so stash of sock yarn is going to a friend (hopefully she'll knit a pair for DD)
