Well I guess the Knitting Olympics made Time Magazine's - on-line edition.
"NO IDLE HANDS For the 16-day Knitting Olympics, some 4,000 crafty couch potatoes have set a series of stitching goals they want to reach while watching the Games. Charitable projects include making clothes for U.S. pregnancy centers and for tots in Mongolia."
Here's the progress on my Olympic event - the Nuptial Throw:
That's all Colinette yarn, except for the feathery frou frou crap - all gleaned from the Embarrassingly Large Yarn Stash, I might add.
My girlfriend, for whom I am knitting this throw, is a color fiend and loves unexpectedness, like crappy frou frou yarn thrown in with high-end Colinette... HE!
Anyway, that's 40 rows and I'd guesstimate I'm about 1/4 along.
Yowza! Love it! Eye-popping, eye-candy!

Hi thanks for dropping by my site, just to put you out of your misery it was a joke comparing Life of Brian to Gibsons more recent film 'The Passion of Christ'!

Just a glimpse of it, but I can tell it's going to be beautiful! I've attempted knitting a few times - I've not gotten farther than one really long row I can't seem to move on from. :) I envy you.
Michele sent me over.
