( I remember a competition at IOLI one year for the oldest UFO that one intended to finish. The winner was 23 years.
Hmmmm... that's the age of my oldest UFO - a Honiton piece that I started in 1981 after I got Elsie Luxton's book. I was quite new to lace at the time and needed far more direction than was in the book, but I did manage about 1/3 of her large sampler. And there it has sat ever since. I still intend to finish it.
In the meantime, I am busy making a travel pillow based on one I saw at my last lace meeting. Some of the Vancouver Island lacemakers made them, though I don't know who did the design. I made my own design. A small bolster sits inside a box and a large front & back apron folds up to make something that looks like a rather tall handbag.
