The UFO (Unfinished Object) Project Administration Service – knitting blog review

Screengrab of blog with banner which is typed sheet with headline UFO (Unfinished Object) Project Administration Service first post includes picture of what looks like the beginning of a blanket: a strip of unfinished white knitting in feather and fan or similar lace pattern

You may already be familiar with the UFO (Unfinished Object) Project Administration Service  – Rachael Matthew introduced it in an article for Simply Knitting issue 55, and showed off some of the results in issue 59 – but if it's new to you, the gist is simple. The UFO Project is encouraging crafters to dig out their unfinished knitting projects and send these UFOs to the UFO PAS for redistribution.

Knitters are also encouraged to sign up to take on a UFO and embellish, complete or reimagine the item to create something new.

It's a really fun project, and the blog is a neat way to get the message out, as well as being fun to browse so it's great to see that it's ticking along into the new year. Each post features a new UFO with its own story and many still need adopting, so if you fancy stretching your creativity then click on through and have a look.

Delve into the archives and you'll see some of the fantastic creations which they've been turned into. As an example, own own Production Editor, Miriam turned part of a school jumper into a bag. She blogged about the experience, too.

Read a great blog? Write a great blog? Tell us what it is and why you like it, and you might see it here next Friday.
