For those who don't know, UFO = UnFinished Object! Like a weekend or something where we can all get out those unfinished pieces and do a little bit of work on them. Possibly with a prize for the most effort put in! (Although I'll have to work out what that would be :D)
Would anyone be interested in something like this?
Love this idea! I have so many UFOs and totally need a kick in the pants to get work done on them.

Actually, since I began frequenting this site, I've really been working my butt off on UFO's. Sadly, I can think of one that's all the way home and would be way too bulky to try taking to school (a 4 ft knitting board :P) But other then that, I've been crazy productive on my projects O_o

I try and keep my UFOs at a minimum as well but I do have a couple. I think it's a great idea though and I would totally be up for that!

We choose a theme, all use the same pattern and if you get that done, you can choose your own pattern but still within the theme. Something like this might accommodate the fast stitchers as well as the slower ones, and also be interesting for everyone. Thoughts? :D
That sounds good to me! I definately think it should be a fixed size, not too big, not too small, with something like no more then 20 colours perhaps. Could you do a poll for the theme? :Link

I will, but nearer the time of the stitch-a-long. Of course, until then, every one can feel free to suggest ideas for the theme :)

I've never played any of the Zelda games (I know, I'm lame), but I would be willing to do a Zelda pattern. Maybe I can find someone to give it to.

I'm also lame and have never played the Zelda games. I do like the idea of dinosaurs. And dragons!
