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.

Oh come on… GO USA!
We have all of that… beer, vodka, wine, and even lots of hooch and stuff. Yay!
*sniff* Good ol’ melting pot USA … brings a tear of pride to the eye, don’t it?
