That's my goal for 2007 to get those done and then I can get more yarn. I have a gazillion UFOs…just look at the long list on my blog.

I was inspired by your "Just Frog It" and today I got to work. I frogged my first three projects which I didn't like. Next I am going to my basement to look for more. I guess this could be considered stash enhancement. I came across your site a few days ago when I was researching Kool-Aid dyeing. I was inspired by your “Just Frog It” and today I got to work.

I frogged something! AND I am not going to EVER finish it. Thanks for the push. I needed it. There are so many things I want to knit and these UFO's are holding me back. Now there is nothing to stop me. What can I rip up next?? YAH! I frogged something! AND I am not going to EVER finish it. Thanks for the push. I needed it.

Like they need a cat bed.

A shawl that turns into a felted purse and so on. I can't do project monogamy, so I usually have at least one small and one large project going at any given time - but if it sits around too long - it is so over. I finished a purse (was a shawl) for Christmas. It turned into such a fabulous gift that had been sitting for soooo long. I hate doing finishing work, so I tend to knit stuff up and never seam them. I would even pay someone to seam and sew in ends. I would rather wash, pick and card than sew. I guess everybody has that one thing. Good luck with the new no FO's. I imagine you will be a speed knitting queen now that the burden has been lifted. Happy New Year.

I never even thought of Frogging as a solution to UFOs! Not quite there, yet, but I LOVE it! (Not there meaning ready to frog any of my UFOs, but definitely there in the number I have!)
