I fall into the "process" group as well. I can't think when I've worn my lace, and I can count on one hand the pieces I've made as gifts. Like Robin, I love the process and the challenge. But beyond that, I am also rather obsessive, and I can't bear *not* to finish something - that feels like defeat to me! I have two pieces on display in my house, but most of my lace is in a notebook.
Several years ago! I started a difficult piece and was never happy with the way it was going. I finally decided it needed to be worked with a larger thread. I cut the bobbins off, and put the fragment away (in the notebook). I am now eyeing the pattern again, because I *will not* be defeated by it!
