UFOs
I looked around yesterday and realized I have 6 different UFOs in my house.
Un-Finished Objects.
I crochet and embroider. In the last year, I've finished exactly 4 objects and gifted them away. For December birthdays and Christmas gifts. That's right, December...last year.
So, my goal this Christmas was simple. Learn to knit. So that I can have other UFOs lying around.
So, I did learn to knit. I found a great little CD that had pictures and live motion directions. And then I looked around and saw the UFOs. And formed a new goal.
Finish one of them. Any of them..just one of them, before I start a new one.
I picked the socks. I figure those are relatively small and should be the easiest to finish up. Then there is prayer shawl (which is 2/3 finish), 2 afghans (each of which is 1/2 finished), a set of pillow cases to embroider, and 1 of a set of pillow cases to embroider (yes, 1, the other is already on my bed and has been for 18 months, sigh.).
Plus, I learned to knit... so I imagine I'll start something with that new skill.

What goes on the Internet, stays on the Internet. Yes, it's best to be careful.
