Knitting Olympics


I finally decided tonight that indeed I would participate in the Knitting Olympics hosted by The Yarn Harlot. I have never participated in this version of the Knitting Olympics before but joined the huge list of competitors tonight. My challenge is to cast on and finish (including weaving in ends and blocking) my next sweater, Hanna. The biggest challenge is that this sweater is knit entirely out of lace weight yarn (I have difficulties with lace weight yarn). I will cast on when the Olympics start. I will honor my Thursday WIP day.  Wish me luck.

  2. NLFC - That is exciting. I am taking a class next month that incorporates steeking. That is the main reason for taking the class because the rest of it I have done. My completed project will be an Icelandic cardigan. I am pretty excited about the adventure. It is also knocking one of my 6 sweaters this year off the list... Good luck with your project. I can't wait to see it.

  4. WOW - now that is an Olympic project - You go girl!
    (as for me....I jumped the gun and started my project 4 days ago, so disqualified myself - oh well - it will be my own personal knitting olympics)

  5. I signed up ... motivated by Team Blue Moon to finish more of my sock club socks. I will cast on tonight.

    All I have to finish is a pair of socks... you're doing an entire sweater, in laceweight. Amazing!
