Oh, did I mention the Knitting Olympics?
I think I forgot to mention that I decided to do the Knitting Olympics. I’ve been trying to learn to knit for over a year, and though I finally got over a major obstacle a while ago (finally figured out how to purl) I still haven’t actually made anything other than wonky-looking swatches.
Then Julie went and learned how to knit and got me all inspired to give it another try and actually make something other than endless freaky-looking swatches. I think I’ve really gotten as far as I can with swatching and need to make a real thing.
Then I read about the Knitting Olympics in Anne’s blog and figured that would give me the nudge I needed. Now, there are all kinds of people doing this who actually know how to knit, so I feel slightly pathetic with my goal of making a dishcloth, but given that I’ve never made anything but swatches (very ugly swatches!), I think that’s a decent goal and not biting off more than I can chew.
It doesn’t start until February 10th, so I have plenty of time to try to wrap up some of my other neglected projects before then…
