When Is an Unfinished Object Not Unfinished?

Dear Problem Ladies,

What’s my problem not finishing the Birch in Kidsilk Haze Trance that I started three years ago? There’s only one ball left to knit. It’s a great design and the color is . . . entrancing.

Dear Barky,

In our opinion, you have already finished this thing. Go bind off right this minute, admire the cool trapezoid-shaped scarf that you just completed, and get that last miserable ball of yarn out of your house immediately! We won’t tell a soul.

Knit Strong! Keep those cards and letters coming in to problemladies@twistcollective.com
