Ok, I be certifiable. I'm going to join the knitting olympics. Yes, the yarn harlot has come up with a knit-a-long that takes place from the lighting of the olympic flame until they extinguish it. It's 16 days February 10 through the 26. The rules are simple, just cast on at the lighting ceremony and finish by the closing. You can choose any project that suits your level but challenges you. As I peruse her list of contestants I just get so overwhelmed at the amount of people on the planet, and all these ladies knit and have websites?! Most of them knit so well and succeed at such complicated patterns - whoa - it's overwhelming. So back to my first thought, yes I'm crazy, 'cause I'm going to enter! Clearly I fit her description of "just whacked enough to play along."

The big question is what to knit. I could do the woody sweater for Max. It would be super challenging just to finish that much knitting in time, let alone figure out the confusing pattern directions. I might have better success doing a glove project in so far as I might actually finish it. Hmmm. But re-reading the bliss book I'm thinking the Nell pattern is a better fit for my junior level and my lack of access to any help. Ok yep, that's the one. Still doing it for Max of course so I won't be choosing lavendar. Signing up, yikes.

Lookie what I found. Ok how fun is this site?! Love this. Devoted entirely to bunny creation! Fabulous. I've been itching to make a knitted animal. Jess Hutchison has a free pattern I could try. I'll give this olympic project an over night sleep and decide tomorrow. night night.
