*stretch*
*lunge*
*bend*
Yep that's right I am getting myself ready for the summer Ravelympics!! :oD
3 days until I cast on!!!
I will be in the Synchronized Flirty Skirts & Sock Put events with Team Charlotte Purls and WIPs Wrestling event with Team Charlotte Yarn!! YAY!!
I made sure not to try and put too much on my knitting plate, and thinking that during the 17 days of the summer olympics that this is doable!
The most important thing for me in training is getting my mind right. Whew!
I have been wanting to do my indigo ripple skirt forever! Got the yarn last July! Studied the KAL board, made all the pertinent notes on my pattern, and just for some reason got stuck.....never casted on.
Which is why I signed up for Ravelympics!
And since I am already doing Summer of Socks (S.O.S.) I figured I would throw in a pair halfway thru and do the Anastasia with my new Noro sock yarn! In fact, I will be doing it as a mini KAL with a mini group of great ladies! :o)
Getting a long awaited WIP off my needles wouldn't hurt either. My second Lillian tank (Tangee) is waiting to be seamed and get some ribbed borders on the neckline and armholes (y'all know how much I just love that! Haha). The 1st one I made is in the mail and on the way to the birthday girl; but promise I won't be mad if she doesn't wear it! Haha! Lets just say it was a labor of love ;op Haha!
OOh! You gotta check out my gurl Shemeka's Ravelympic stitchmarkers!! Go get ready!!
We are having a F.U.N. time over in the Ravelympics Group! Come on by and join us before the big opening ceremony bang on August 8th!!
I didn't put my socks in the Ravelympics. I'm not sure I'd finish, and I had already put in hats...
The socks are super cool. I like the design a lot. I see you will be very busy. But I know you will work it out and bring home the gold! LOL!
Make It Work! LOL!
@ stacey: Good luck on your knitting endeavors. I have been coming to your blog for awhile now and not once have I ever not seen you display those passionate knitting thoughts and skills.
Sometimes you even make me want to pick up and needle and yarn.
...I'm only kidding. LOLOLOL.
Nobody will have to go Tanya Harding on anybody else.
Seriously, you go! I'm just planning a wip wrestling project. Only way that Cable Luxe is evah' gonna' get off my needles!!!!!!
I still haven't joined a group but I plan to cast on a sweater and finish that cable throw that I keep putting down. Maybe I'll throw in a couple washcloths for good measure.
Good Luck!
