Last night marked the opening of the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London. During the opening ceremony, thousands upon thousands of knitters cast on their projects for the 2012 Ravellenic Games on Ravelry. I signed up a couple months ago for Team Final Frontier. I was excited! I was pumped! I was...taking Qualitative Analysis. I was a little preoccupied for about 10 weeks while I was writing the longest papers of my life.
I finished up the course on Tuesday. It was perfect timing. The course was over and I had 17 days to knit a pair of Welsh flag socks. I had managed to find the illusive main colour, Regia Nation Color in a white and green stripe that had been long since discontinued. All I needed was a beautiful rich red for the contrast. No problem, right?
Well, not normally. Unless you are a procrastinator like me.
I found myself sitting, watching the opening ceremonies without the contrast colour. Oh yeah, and without the needles I needed. And without a pattern. Yup, totally unprepared. So I stopped at Loop today and found a ball (only one...they only had ONE!!!!!) of a lovely blood red Spud and Chloe Fine. Phew!
So, I have the yarn. I have the needles. I found a pattern. Time to cast on! In between blog updates, you can follow my updates here.
Til next time! -Erika
