The Ravellenic Games (previously known as The Knitting Olympics) start tonight!
While I think technically you are supposed to cast on a new project during the opening ceremonies (of which I've heard might include sheep and maybe a Border Collie too :-D), I am breaking the "rules", putting on my big girl panties and...wait for it...completing the Fair Isle portion of the Jester sweater. Finally.
I have the requisite cat lined up. Claire Bear's been training hard.
Two of the best Fair Isle books at hand.
And my poor, lonesome. neglected Jester sweater.
Which looks like my first step will be picking up some dropped stitches. Sigh. I deserve them.
I hit a great yard (actually barn) sale last weekend and scored a bunch of new knitting books. I ended up with some at home duplicates because I gobbled them all up just like the lady in front of me grabbed all the spare reins ;-).
Anyone interested in a Ravellenic kick off knitting (or crochet) giveaway? Leave me a comment on the main blog and I'll draw three winners on Sunday evening.
Happy Knitting!
