Aside to the people having trouble threading needles: I have cataracts and will eventually get the surgery when they're bad enough. Mag-eyes have solved a whole lot of problems for me. I put them on every time I thread a needle or need to unstitch, and can do both more easily than I could 30 years ago. I keep them right next to me whenever I sew. They work with glasses or without. As for WIPS, I can't remember a time when I didn't have several, but I usually get them done eventually. As long as you figure this is a hobby and an art, there is no sense in making yourself work on something that isn't bringing out your inner muse at the moment (but be careful about making promises!). If I never finished anything, I'd look for a different hobby, however.
