I'm slowing down on Drops...
and my ravelry queue is gearing up for Ravelympics.
I'm supporting Team GoPugYourself - from my Pug Lovers forum in Ravelry.
I have these projects in the queue.
360 Vert Indy Porom - Pattern by Brooklyn Tweed
Events: HatHalfpipe (hat) and speedskate (one skein)
Yarn: I skein of Rowan Felted Tweed - Sage
I'm stash busting this baby - it's been marinating for about 3 years.
Tangled Cardi
I feel that I have to be honest...because if I can't truly let it all hang out on my blog...well. WTF.
I hate knitting the Tangled Yoke cardi.
The yarn is gorgeous...but the cables (only 17 rows mind you) are driving me mad.
mAd i saY.
I even took this over to the lovely Ei's house and got some (liquid) courage and began the first row of the cables. It's times like this that you need a knitting intervention, to help reintroduce yourself with the joy that you once felt for a project...and only another knitter (especially one who knit this blasted sweater) can tell you "it's just yarn" and "beautiful work" and "you are so close to finishing H!" (thanks ei.)
I dont have time to just sit and get through them in the house.
I have too much going on!
These are the things I have been telling myself.
I just have to come to terms with PROJECT FuGUE...
number one it's become a dread
number two I have this feeling that in the middle of a bobble...the yarn is going to SNAP.
number three I began knitting this in one of the hardest periods of my life. This project has sat in a (fabulous) knitting bag for almost 3 years.
Number four it's on teeny needles
The last time I had this feeling was when I attempted to knit Audrey out of Calmer. I ripped that sucker with vigor and never looked back.
I am going to finish this sweater that I call my opus (dei). it requires penance to complete.
What better way to overcome than with an olympic effort. ha!
Until the cast on of Feb 12 - I am working on this lovely
I have the sleeves and the right front to finish. I am GOING to get this done before mass cast on.
Here is another project I have been working on for about 2 years...
my HAIR!
About 4 more inches and I will be happy with the length!
Lookie what I gots...
I keep hearing on the rav...
Sanguine Gryphon...
and I found in their Little Traveller sock yarn they have a colorway known as Boring, Maryland.
Guess who lives within that tiny little border? ME!
DELISH! and that would be 560 yards. I forsee a shawl with this lovey stuff.
that's all for me.
stay tuned for I shall be blogging ad tedium during the ravelympics.

Your hair is darling! Much cuter than mine when I grow it out.
I can't wait to see your FO's!! Will you be knitting while actually watching the 'Lympics (as Ty still calls it)? Your readers want to know which are your favorite events!

I had a blog on this subject, but it attracted so many spam comments I had to close it. You seem to be better at weeding out the spam! Congratulations!
