UFOs

If you subscribe to Interweave's Knitting Daily, you've no doubt been reading the data about unfinished objects (UFOs) in each of our stashes. Many of you recall the horrific amount of UFOs that Louise and I had in our stashes last spring during out Lenten challenge to guild members. . . You'd think that after counting 41 in my personal stash, and then stressing about finishing them all, I would have learned my lesson.

Apparently not.

As Ravelry continues to suck my time away, I found myself taking pictures of my UFOs and uploading them to my notebook there. I found 22 projects on needles. . .and now that I think of it, I think there are two more that I never uncovered from the layers of stash they're hidden behind. (We'll ignore that fact, shall we?)

Sally sent a picture this week of her UFOs too. . .I think I counted 18 of them in all (sorry for outing you Sally. . .)

And Kim has some on her Ravelry page that I've NEVER seen, let alone heard of!!

The good news is, that I've been encouraged to complete some of these. Many needed only a bit of knitting or buttons, or a random seam sewn togther. . .not a lot of work. But still, not complete. Here is the result of my diligence in turning these UFOs into a thing of the past. . .

I'm down to 10, if you don't count the 3 in hibernation and the 2 I forgot to count. It's not the destination, but the journey. . .right?

Don't forget to send pictures of your stash, UFOs, or finished objects to me (tanya_tho at yahoo dot com) and I'll post them here, until we're all on Ravelry and can snoop all we want!

tanya, I liked your comment about never having heard of some of Kim's UFOs. Isn't that part of what's up w/ our UFOS? Sort of like guilty little pleasures that we don't like to talk about, or bring up, if they don't happen to be bringing us the pleasure we thought they'd once bring? Whoa! Way too much therapizing on that issue -- chris h.

BSKG 1st Guest Post

Posted by Kim Whelan  "copyright Geneve Hoffman Photography" I have this friend; maybe you have one like her? She’s the kind of friend that has all these crazy, great ideas, and somehow, before you know it, you’re smack dab in the middle of something! This friend is the reason that I found myself starting a knitting guild (BSKG) with her a few years ago and found myself president of said guild a few years later. She is also the reason that I started designing patterns. I was just drifting along, calmly knitting away when she said “write a pattern, challenge yourself” That is how I came to write my very first pattern “Etta” which appeared in Lace One Skein Wonders . Now writing a pattern didn’t come easy, there were many mistakes along the way, but I stuck with it and finally I had a pattern I was proud to publish on Ravelry. After that first pattern I wrote a few more that I was lucky enough to have printed in some local publications. But that friend of mine,

March Guild Meeting with Melynda Bernardi

Our guest speaker,  Melynda Bernardi of French Press  Knits, was wonderful! She shared about her background as a knitter, how the name French Press Knits was chosen,  how she started by selling felted slippers and progressed in to writing patterns. Her work is beautiful and she brought several samples to share. Melynda graciously offered a discount on her online patterns for the month of March for our guild members!
