Nope, this time UFO means UnFinished Objects. You don't really want to know how long it took me to figure that one out on the knitpicks boards. I seriously couldn't understand what scifi had to do with knitting. Although to tell the truth, I am in a Stargate knitting group on ravelry. Yes, seriously.
Anyway, I thought I'd show my readers a couple of my own UFOs and maybe you can tell me about yours.
This is my first real sock.

Well, sort of anyway. I've got most of the cuff done. I have made exactly one pair of socks before and they were with worsted weight yarn on size 4 needles so they were more like slippers then socks. That's why I'm saying these are my first real socks. They're made of wool from the 100 pure wool company, a nice green and yellow.
This is one of the sweaters I'm making for my sisters for Christmas. It has one sleeve and I just cast on the second earlier today.

Surprisingly, it isn't taking as long as I thought it would to do the sleeves. I've done them a bit differently then the pattern as I was afraid I'd run out of yarn so instead I've picked up stitches around the armholes and knit down from the shoulders instead of from the wrist up. I just didn't want to make three sleeves regular length and then realize I didn't have enough yarn to make a fourth to the elbow. I figure even if they end up with 3/4 sleeves, it is better then that!
