No, not THOSE Olympics. I'm competing in the Ravelympics (by the way if you knit and don't know about Ravelry you really should check it out - the wait to get your account set up is down to just a few days and oh so worth waiting for) in the giftknitspentathalon.
I've been slowly and steadily knitting, but now that the James is moving a mile a minute I haven't gotten nearly as far as I wanted. But a sweater vest for my grandfather is complete through the armholes and I'm patiently working on some socks.
But for the next 17 days from the opening ceremonies until the moment the torch is put out I'm in competition to get other gifts done. Here's what I'm hoping to finish:
2 kitchen towels sets consisting of at least one hanging towel and two dishclothes.
1 a-very-plain-hat
1 ninna beret http://www.arteeni.fi/neulonta/ninna-en.pdf
1 wrap-around-scarf oddly enough in that exact same yarn and colorscheme
and
anywhere between 1 and 3 pairs of Easy Mittens

yes, I'm overly ambitious, but pushing yourself to your limits is what the Olympics is all about.
Now I'm off to finish my final training session (winding of skeins into balls).
