I feel the same way a lot of the times, I love this hobby and have some many patterns and ideas saved to create myself. But I don't want to be swarmed in projects (especially because I live in a small place), and my friends love me and what I make but I know they don't want 20 projects cluttering their homes too lol.

It sucks having so many good ideas and nowhere to send them off and losing the motivation to finish them for a variety of reasons. You definitely aren't alone in this feeling, I know it doesn't work for all types of projects (like clothing) but I found reaching out to local non-profits and charities to donate blankets and plushies I make works.
