UFOs have been in the news recently. How many UFOs have you encountered? In knitting, UFO stands for “UnFinished Object!” In honor World UFO Day and in celebration of summer, today we are talking about our knitting-related UFOs and summertime knitting.
First, on behalf of World UFO Day (celebrated around the end of June), Lee and Stacey talk about their definitions of UFOs vs. WIPs. There are a good deal of insider terms that get thrown around in the crafting community. A quick look:
UFO – UnFinished Object
WIP – Works in Progress
PHD – Project Half Done (not mentioned in this episode but good to know)
Lee and Stacey also confess to the projects they haven’t picked up in a long time. Is it time to frog or pick it back up?
Next, Stacey interviews knit designer Felecia O’Connell about her knitting origins, her designs for Knit Picks (mostly warm-weather knits), and where she draws her design inspiration from. Felecia’s specialty is creating designs that are simple, beautiful and fun to knit.
