So which country can I pick?
I signed up for the Knitting Olympics! Yay me and every other knitter in the known world. :) Here’s the idea:
Concept: You must cast on a project during the Opening Ceremonies of the Winter Olympics (Feb 10)- and finish before the Olympic flame goes out (Feb 26). That’s 16 days.
You’re also supposed to pick something that’s a challenge. Because I love cables and because I love babies and because I love my friend Allessandria, I’m going to knit her new baby boy some variation of this Celtic Knot Afghan.
Do I think I’ll finish? No!
Do I think I’ll try? Yes!
Do I think I’ll complain a lot? But of course!
So can I pick another country to knit for instead of Team USA? I pretty much root for Sweden and Canada during the Winter Olympics. Can I be on Team Canada and drink beer while I cable? Team Sweden and drink vodka? (Or Team Russia or Team Finland, I guess … ) Team France and drink wine? Team UK and drink tea? Team Netherlands and drink … anything, while I eat my cheese?
I can guarantee one thing: there will be as much swearing and bad behavior in this Winter Olympics event as there will be in the mens’ ice hockey competition. Just saying.
