Dear users, dear authors,
who among you can finish a UFO—an unfinished object, or a craft project left unfinished—this week?
You can finish a UFO by
- actually completing the project, including all seams, etc.
- throwing the UFO away. Sometimes there’s just no other way.
- unraveling the UFO. Maybe you can make something new out of it.
I’m not participating in the UFO challenge, but I’m finishing up a current gift.
In between, I’m continuing to crochet my UFO blanket, adding a row every now and then. There are now 100 stitches per side, so it’ll take a little while longer until I’ve used up all the yarn.
I frogged a UFO this week. After I finally picked it up again, I didn’t like the pattern anymore.
But then I cast on again right away. After all, I had a new pattern I liked better right at hand.
I hope I don’t let it sit around again until I don’t like that one either.
Although I really can’t help it. Every week, my daughter comes to me with a new picture of a top she wants me to knit for her. And the matching vest to go with it, and then this and that to go with it.
And as a good mom, you put your daughter’s wishes first.
I threw away a UFO this week...... It had been sitting in a craft basket for quite a while; I’d planned to knit a blanket using old leftover sock yarn with a pattern—a spiral pattern, I think.... I threw it away; there wasn’t much of it anyway. Now I have room for something new again..... 😋😊
I have a very old UFO😋
from when I was still in school—it was already during my final years—when my mother gave me a tablecloth to embroider as part of my trousseau.... with cross-stitch.... I started as a “good” daughter, but “only” a little bit... and so the tablecloth has been lying in some “trunk” waiting, and waiting... maybe someday I’ll find a use for it, or rather make something else out of it—I think it’s a linen tablecloth... My mother said every daughter had to have a tablecloth in her trousseau—an expensive, embroidered one..... But I told her back then that I didn’t need one..... and didn’t want one either... Who else has something like that? She would have loved to give me embroidered bed linens as well........
I definitely want to finish my UFO. But right now I have another UFO in progress. And so many new ideas in my head... I definitely won’t be starting anything new this week.
