Filed under: Knitting a Gift
Finished that project, blocked it, wound a hank of Malabrigo, went looking for my other size 5s for it…
And found the second pair in a UFO.
Abandoned projects are often handy things when you want knitted gifts fast. I looked it over, saw what had stopped me, figured out a work-around, and an hour later, bam! Done! New FO!
That one had just needed a little motivation, is all. Wish I could do everything that fast. (Casting on…)

Comment by Sherry in Idaho 05.11.11 @ 10:13 amAgreed. UFO’s that have learned to behave can be great for a feeling of accomplishment. 🙂
Comment by Ruth 05.11.11 @ 10:37 amSometimes it takes one of my UFO’s two or three tries, but it is always fun when they take off and are suddenly complete.
