Olympic Fever!
I have complete Olympic fever. I spent yesterday wandering around the crowded streets of Vancouver and it was amazing. The energy in town is infectious and the torch/cauldron was inspirational. I spent the day today cheering on our Canadian women’s hockey team at UBC’s Thunderbird. I even knit up a pair of Maple Leaf Mittens for mumsy to show her pride! (you can see them in this pic, very tiny).
I’m also working away on the Dude sweater for the Knitting Olympics. The sweater is a tribute to the sweater in the movie The Big Lebowski. I so enjoyed drinking White Russians and watching that movie with my cousins in Winnipeg this past summer that I really just had to knit it. It is unfortunately all done in a 1×1 rib so that’s a bit time consuming but I still love the pattern. Very clearly written and well charted. I’m knitting the large size in Cascade Eco Wool.
Must get back to events!
