29.89% completed. I feel like my training has paid off, and if I keep my focus on the goal, I might just make gold.
(p.s. did anyone else watch the women’s moguls? Talk about a down-to-the-last-minute competition! We almost had our first gold on Canadian soil too…)
(p.p.s. Henri says “Go Team Canada!”)
These are my standings at the end of day 1. 13.58% completed. I wonder if I can keep up this pace?
Here’s a photo I took Friday evening before the opening ceremonies. My equipment was assembled and I was ready to go!
I’m going to be knitting Franklin Habit’s Prairie Spring Tunic from the premiere Fall/Winter 2009 issue of St-Denis. I’m knitting it size 2, using the same colors as I needed it to be neutral- it is going to be a baby shower gift for my cousin’s wife. They have a chinchilla as a pet (and used to have my chinchilla too) so I will be adapting the white blips in the Fair Isle section to be chinchillas. If I have time I plan to knit a stuffed chinchilla toy as well. It is an Olympic challenge for me partly because of my time constraints, and partly because to date I find my Fair Isle colorwork sucks. I rock at intarsia, but I’m not comfortable with stranding the yarn without puckering or pulling.
