I've been a busy boy the past couple days. I've done lots of stuff, including spending some time thinking about the Olympic Sweater I will soon be knitting.
But there's one problem.
I'm so close to finishing the body of Zauberflote. How close? Well, there are only six rows between where I am now and grafting the shoulders together. And somehow it just seems wrong to start a new project until at least this part of Zauberflote is finished. Plus, since most of the rows that remain will include a back neck steek and will therefore be very short, it should be an easy night's work to take care of tomorrow. So I've decided to push back the start of the Knitting Olympics Sweater until the body of Zauberflote is knit. I may not even worry about the grafting just yet, but I want to get those six rows finished so that I can feel like I'm leaving the sweater at a mile-marker.
On a different note, I'm glad that so many of you agree with me about David Caruso. Hopefully, you'll agree with me about this decision, too! Oh, and I do believe that some of my most favorite stitch markers are on the way to me in the mail at this very moment! Hooray!

BTW, I went and have a look for those stitch markers here, but they haven't got it either. *WAHHHH* Anyone cares about sending me some?

GO JON in the Olympics!!
I am just a cheerleader!! I am pretty good too, huh??
Damn, you have me beat. You are SO close. I threw mine down and will be starting a project over the next 16 days. It is the existenialist olympics knitting. Doesn't matter what happens
:-)
I'm going to finish another sweater tonight, AFTER I do some work on the Olympic sweater........I just have to sew on some buttons and knit the collar. I just HAVE to do it, or it will sit and gather dust, potentially for another year.......
Posted by: Christine Coffman at February 10, 2006 02:14 PMRemember that all participants do not compete in their event(s) the first day. Some of them do not even arrive at the Olympics until later. I think you were wise to finish the Zauberflaute body before the next project.
