Ellen got a couple of inches into this jumper before admitting that the yarn, although washable, was too hideous to waste her time on. It was destined for her boyfriend but she couldn't do that to him....

UFO Project Administration Service was the answer to a proposal I was asked to give for the Jerwood Contemporary Makers 2009 Exhibition. The exhibition will run from 10th June -19th July at the Jerwood Space in London and will then tour.

Across the world, hidden in cupboards are accumulations of half knitted works. On conception, the ideas were fueled with love and contemplation. For various reasons, sometimes funny, occasionally sad, the projects have stalled. With hours of skilled effort these pieces are rarely thrown away. Hidden in drawers, they harbour unexplained feelings. UFO Project Administration Service is here to help. Send one in or take one on. Knitting is not dead.
HOW TO APPLY.
E-mail ufo@prickyourfinger.com for an application form to-day!
WHY ARE WE HERE?
Dear Knitter,
You are invited to take part in helping us complete Planet Earth's UFOs. All the UFOs are posted opposite. Some are 'WAITING' for YOU, and some have been 'TAKEN' by SOMEBODY!
Take chances, make choices, tell stories, imagine the possibilities, and connect to the bottom draw of other knitters across the globe.
Please leave comments, and for more information or to book a UFO, e-mail ufo@prickyourfinger.com
Happy knitting and love,
Rachael Matthews

I've done the same thing with some Jaeger 4ply. In the shop the shade reminded me of fudge, toffee, honeycombe and all things sweet and nice. At home it looked like cat poo after too many rice 'n' chicken crunchies. I took it round to my sister's and sort of left it there.
ReplyDeleteCould I apply to claim it?
ReplyDeleteWell, it is 2011 and when I looked at the yarn, it reminded me of a bag I just finished that was spruced up with a very pale yellow and purple. It is now a beautiful little purse.
ReplyDeleteDrab colors have a purpose. Red would have done wonders for the brown as well.
