goodie, goodie gumdrops!!!

once again, stick a fork in me for i am done, done, done!! i have run the race and shockingly, i have finished with time to spare!! yahooooooooo!

finished this pair of str 'rockin sock club' sunday during the usa women's volleyball match against poland. what a relief! enjoyed the pattern and hopefully, will borrow parts of it for future socks.

now, i'm back to a sweater jacket (pattern actually calls it a vest) that has a poorly written pattern - so far, i've been able to figure things out by peering at the project picture! will keep you posted as to the outcome!

it is wet and soggy outside, therefore the perfect day to be knitting! come to think of it, any day in my book is a perfect day to be knitting. sooo...let's get knitty!

and the winner is?

one project down! and...it is only the third day of olympic competition!!
i'm so excited to have these finished that i could break my arm patting myself on the back!!
will be casting on my next olympic project today. this should leave me plenty of time to crank out another pair of socks before the closing ceremony.
these socks are the march rockin' sock club 'leafling' pattern in the 'lucky' colorway. they are soooo soft and warm - am looking forward to wearing them when colder weather sets in!

on your mark, get set,.....knit!!

it's ravolympics time! yippee!

my needles are poised, ready for action!

i've joined team blue moon as i am woefully behind on my rsc socks and i thought i would kill two birds with one stone! we'll see how i fair. here's the dilemma: i just heard on the morning news that the opening ceremonies have just concluded in beijing but we won't be seeing them until this evening on prime time tv - does this mean i can begin now (since they are really over, over there) or should i wait until 'tv time' here? i guess the answer would be: do i think that i will need the extra time at the end of the games to finish my projects? i actually know the answer to this question since i live the lively life of a procrastinator - i'll be starting tonight with prime time tv!

on other knitting fronts: i have completed (totally) two summer sweaters. pictures will follow as soon as i find a victim (oops, i mean friend) to take them! i also have another sock rounding third and heading for home! so...i'm busy, busy, busy and we like it that way! yea!!!
