WIPs vs UFOs

When does a WIP cease being a WIP and turn into an UFO? I began both this gray glove and orange sock over a year ago. The other day I found them abandonded in a heap at the bottom of a long forgotten knitting bag. I also found the pattern for the orange sock smushed in the bag among heaps of other items. I could not, however, find a pattern for the glove. I'm full of fear about trying to retrace my steps to find its pattern...
