How wrong was I!!

It seems that by the end there were over 4000 of us taking part in this challenge. Wow that is phenomenol by anyone's standards and a bit shout out to Ravelry and the folks over there that organised it all!

Well I did finish the mitts. I had an interesting time with the pattern (which could have been avoided had I read it properly oops) and messed up on one of the thumb gussets but they are just for me and they were finished in 12 days so 5 days ahead of schedule so yay for me.

On the downside however attempting two projects was a step too far and the scarf is sooooo far from finised lol, maybe by 2012.....

And they're off!

Well at 1pm Friday I'll be picking up the needles and taking part in the phenomenon that has become Ravelympics. There are over 1200 of us taking part in several teams.

The rules are simple; you must cast on during the opening ceremony and cast off before the torch goes out at the end.

Rather stupidly I have signed up for 2 events, the mitten medley and the scarf for TeamMine. Probably a bit much to take on but hey ho I love a challenge and the finished products will be well used.

Good luck to all Ravletes!

I know I know....

....more socks.

I love these socks! These are tidal Waves but with some changes, ooo how brave do I feel lol! I made them short socks and carried the pattern down the top of the foot. The Dream in Color Smooshy yarn is so lovely to work with, really soft and the changes in tones are so subtle, will definitely be ordering lots more of this!

But I'm going to take a break from socks for a bit - some early Christmas knitting to get on with.
