I third (or thirteenth) the TV! Then I'm not looking at the blanket and seeing it not get bigger. Another thing that helps is accepting the fact it won't get bigger anytime soon and bargaining with myself 'do four rows on the blanket, then knit on project C.' Unless there is a deadline for the blanket, it will still get done but I get the satisfaction of *finishing* things.
Also, another great coping mechanism: don't start large projects. ;-) (I only make baby and lap blankets anymore! I can't stand large ones. If I need a big blanket, I make a quilt!)
