So...
For those who've been tuned in, I'll be doing an update on the whole gym thing later in the week. It is going well though. So...YAY.
In other news, I'm participating in the Ravellenic Games this year. For those not familiar, it's a knitting event that takes place during the Olympics. Competitors cast on during the opening ceremonies and should finish their chosen event/project by the closing ceremonies.
I have a crap-ton of yarn so I'm not worried about that. I'm just really trying to decide whether to stretch myself or go with something safe. I'm not the fastest knitter in the world so having the two week time-frame concerns me. I can knock out a simple-ish scarf in that time, but I'm not sure I'd be able to do something like the cowl I really want to do since it's a new pattern and figuring out the cast-on involves actually watching YouTube. If I do the scarf, I'm tempted to do either a HUGE one or do two. At the very least one scarf would qualify to compete for "Scarf Hockey" and "Synchronized Stash Busting". If I actually make it for someone else, it would also qualify for "Holiday Hurdles".
So apparently I've talked myself into doing at least one scarf...possibly two.
Umm...thanks everyone?
