I’ve been knitting like crazy and hatching plans. Why, you ask? Well… it’s Olympics time! Time for a great sweater (or two). I’m so excited about getting some serious knitting done while watching the winter games.
Except… I have these WIPs lurking downstairs bleating pitifully. It really is sad. Somehow they know that they are on the verge of being abandoned for weeks to come. For the last few days I’ve taken their cries to heart and have been knitting on them like crazy. Here they are:
Socks are fast. I can almost knit the Dave one while reading. If I work really steady on these I might, just might, get them done before the start of the Olympics.
That just leaves the Mixology Scarf. Right. That is so not going to happen.
I love the colors of the shawl. I’m completely intrigued to discover how all the different colors will interact with each other. I couldn’t wait to get started on it the day that I cast on. I still am really happy about it.
Poor thing. It is going to be hibernating until I get those Olympic projects done. I have to knit a sweater. It is TRADITION!! I’ve done it for 4 years in a row, and I really need a new sweater. I live in Colorado, and March is typically our snowiest month. I’ll be rocking the new knit as I shovel my way free after some storm or another.
But during the storm I’ll be knitting on Mixology. Hang on, little guy. Your day is coming.
In case you’re wondering:
- I do know about Ravellenics. I struggle with a official, online commitment when it comes to knitting, but … maybe it is time for me to get my feet wet. There has to be a sweater event, right?
- I’ve made an organizational chart of yarns, patterns, and am trying to decide which sweater to start on during the opening of the games. I have a wonderful bluish grey Rios yarn, but there is also some happy red Lamb’s Pride calling my name. Both are cold weather sweater yarns. Can you feel a new post coming?
Yarn, Books & Roses 
Yes! Join the Ravellenic games. There is a sweater event! I’ll be competing in sock hockey:)
Your sock is lovely and will wait if necessary while you compete:)
Okay, I’m off to check out the sweater event. 🙂 I finished one sock already, so at least one pair will be done.
I can!
Love this pretty yarn ! Last time I attempted socks was… last year, and only made half a sock ! Commitments terrifies me so I tend to stay away, but looking forward to the result !
Ravellenics…..Just do it! What’s the worst that could happen? Even if you don’t finish the sweater during the Olympics, it’ll be fine (you might not want to listen to me, I’m an enabler….).
I did it. I joined a team and enrolled the sweater into its event. Blog post to follow. 🙂
Oh, goodness. That top yarn is wooooonderful!!!! Love that colorway! And I’ve just added Mixology to my queue. Who knows when I’ll actually get around to it, but what fun!!
The socks are done, and the color makes my feet sooo happy. 🙂 This was a new Madelinetosh yarn to me: Twist Light. High twist yarn with nylon. I think these socks will last forever.
