A long time... XD I think I mentioned before my first completed project was a pair of fingerless gloves. I made those in my early teens, so it must've been about 6 years since I learned how to knit. Granted, being a child my attention span was quite short and I would rather go play with friends or watch tv.
It was nothing fancy and entirely functional. I tend to make things that serve some sort of purpose. Such as gloves, hats, scarves, cases, bags, etc. I do love to make amigurumis, but then I end up with all sorts of them and I don't know what to do with them. XD Usually I make them to give as gifts.
The biggest project I've tackled was a crochet quilt. It wasn't anything fancy either. Just granny squares. I ended up giving it away as a gift. I kind of regret it as I'm sure it's not being properly cared for. I wouldn't be surprised if it'd fallen apart by being thrown in the washing machine or simply from neglect. I've been working on one for myself, but that's been years in the making heh. I opted for a ripple pattern which is nice, but so boring to do. One of these days I'll get it done...
As for clothing items, I might try a cardigan someday. It's about the only item I could see myself actually using. I haven't found a pattern yet that I'm happy with, so I'm still on the search for that. I think a part of me hesitates on making clothes because I would hate to grow out it or find I don't like it anymore and ending up tossing it in the back of my closet with the rest of the unwanted clothes.
I've thought about socks, but for some reason I wear my own out so quickly that it'd hardly be worth it. Doesn't matter the fabric type either. Thick and thin, I'll get a hole in them within a year or so. :P
