What have I done?! I have foolishly said that I would join the knitting Olympics. This seems to mean that I will knit a challenging-yet-not-impossible garment between the opening and closing ceremonies of the upcoming Olympic games. Fun, yes, I think so... Challenging, for sure! (It was pretty darn challenging getting that button in my sidebar!) But I forgot, in that one moment of excitement, that I am going to Paris for a week in there, and while that will give me some train time, it will also not allow me much sittin' on the couch and knittin' time. So, I am a bit hesitant. Maybe I should rethink, but the folks at home are cheering me on, and even if I trip over a hurdle or something, I guess I should give it my best shot. I also have other events in the calendar as well -- got to get the Weasleys done for the kids' birthdays in February and March!
And, I seem to have been tagged for a meme! So here we go. All of these are "in no particular order"!

ReplyDeleteYou go girl. But under what nationality have you entered this event? Also, small point, there won't be much a-hurdling at these Olympics - But there should be some good hurtling! Stay tuned to the Skeleton, Bobsled and Luge!
ReplyDeleteAh, Lemonsquare,
ReplyDeleteI will be a Canadian working in Britain and France, while staying with an American host. And using merino wool, which likely started out in Australia. And if I can't trip over a hurdle, well, I'm still not hurtling in a bobsled!
