See You In Sochi
Like millions of other young athletes across the globe, I have been inspired the last few weeks. It's not all glory. We have all witnessed the blood, sweat, tears, heartache and pain involved. The pain part is what has always prevented me from having even an ounce of competitiveness in my body. But watching the immensely talented knitters participating in Yarn Harlot's Knitting Olympics push themselves to greatness made me think to myself, "You know, maybe I can do that?" It seems much safer than rocketing thirty feet into the air on a snowboard. So I set out to find the very best coaches, convinced them I had it in me and started on a training mission...

Seems it's never to late for Olympic dreams, even old dogs can learn new tricks. See you all in Sochi!

Congratulations and wow it looks great! I finished my knitting olympics project too, just before the closing ceremonies. It was a fun challenge.
OOOOHH! AAAHHH!! Very nice job!
You won gold with your very first finished object; that's awesome! I think you should frame that one!
Very impressive!
I have to say....knitting intimidates me....I have a low patience threshhold and can't sit still and I tend to get frustrated very easily. And yet..... I can sit and needle-felt my little lambie animals and LOVE it! I guess you have to find what "fits". I am in ohhhh and ahhhhh and awe of ANYONE who completes something by way of knit one purl two or whatever! I have thought that I would, perhaps, give it a try again someday....would love to learn a really simple over-sized cap that I could felt....anyone have any suggestions?
Congrats on your project!!!
oooooh aaaaaaah Well done!!!
You have inspired me. I am going to do the same. oooh!aaah! you are so good.
