not sure
Topic: Knitting Olympics '06
When digging around I discovered that I missed the single person sign up deadline but we're not letting that stop us. Mom and I are going to push on and knit away anyway.
(I am still trying to see if we can be a team on our own and be "official participants" or join onto some team somwhere that can use 2 more people but I haven't gotten a reply yet . . . not going to hold us back either way tho) (o:
My pattern is chosen and my yarn is ready I'll be knitting a top down
Henley for Women in cotton with the hopes that I will end up with a nice summer sweater when the Olympics are over.
Mom has chosen a nice poncho out of a soft spun yarn that should drape quite nicely.
(I'll see if my stepfather can scan the picture later) Both of these projects should challenge us.
I will confirm this but I believe the torch is to be lit tonight at 6PM est. With working to 4:30 and having 2 dogs, gathering the remaining knitting items , getting the dogs out for their walk, getting down to Mom's and settling all 4 dogs in while grabbing a bite to eat . . .CO at 6PM is not possible so we're starting ours at 7PM.
Let the Knitting begin!!!!!!
Edit: 02/10/2005
We may be an official participating tem of 2!!!
OK rules state no cast on until the torch is lit soo . .. .here we are ready and chomping at the bit to start.
Unfortunately the torch lighting is the last thing to happen . . .so much for starting tonight, we're planning on getting up early and starting first thing at our own houses then meeting up again at mom's for some group knitting time.
